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]

It is not the same as community spread because every other place is closed. Have you noticed that every place where people are in close quarters (factories, nursing homes, hospitals) there is rampant coronavirus? Because everywhere else is closed or is practicing social distancing. If you open everything up and we go back to crowding everywhere, the death rates for all populations will shoot straight up.

Uh huh. Sure. Sweden shows us that. [/quote]

Oh so now we want to be sweden.  Gh e.  Health care for all.  Paid leave, universal pre-K and childcare [/quote]

Yes, actually, I'd love to be like Sweden. [/quote]

Yes that was my point.  Many of the so called conservatives are touting sweden opening up without acknowledging that they have a string safety net unlike here. [/quote]

France had 10,000 deaths in nursing homes due to Coronavirus, the highest rate in the world.

There was no protective gear for workers.

Anyone over 70 could not be sent to an emergency room.

Nursing homes were death traps in France, home of highly socialized medicine.  Workers did not have the equipment they needed either.[/quote]

Same with UK (on track to have the highest COVID-19 deaths in Europe). Home of the famous NHS. Same with Spain and Italy and Belgium and Switzerland, all with substantial safety nets and nationalized health cares. Did diddly squat. [/quote]
