Except it IS community spread, and workers there can and do spread the infection outside of their workplace and into the community, including hospitals, other nursing homes, group homes, and prisons... all places with people highly likely to catch it, and perhaps die from it.

No. It’s not. Treat nursing home workers totally differently. You can isolate them until this is over. We need a strong public health response to this. This is NOT the same as general community spread. [/quote]

You don’t think nursing home workers have families, go to the grocery store, pick up kids from school, etc? They’re also low wage workers and are likely to supplement with gig economy jobs like instacart....

This is the definition of community spread!

Nope. Staff represent 1550 cases and 8 deaths. Very low fatality rate.

Plus you can isolate them. All it takes is some planning by the government and monitoring of that population. [/quote]

Eight deaths out of 1550 cases is a very high death rate of 0.5%.  The death rate for the flu is 0.01%.[/quote]
