[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to see percentage of new cases and deaths every day broken out by a) nursing homes and employees b) prisons and employees c) people working in health care services.

I would hypothesize those two categories account for 80% of both categories and another 10% would be people who live with those people. Which would indicate we need to start attacking this virus with a scalpel and not just a sledgehammer. It would also indicate people can stop freaking out about catching it at a supermarket or walking down the street and being passed by a runner.

I work on a covid floor.  At the start, most people who were hospitalized had traveled or been in direct contact with someone who was positive.   Now, half of the people we have are from nursing homes.  We've had 2 health care workers hospitalized.   2 retail type workers.  The rest have been community transmission of some sort.

So what’s your estimate of the percentage coming from community transmission? 40%?[/quote]
