Among nursing homes residents, less than 1 percent were diagnosed with the disease over the period and there were no reported deaths. Other research has found (and here) that nursing homes with strong nursing staffs had fewer cases and fatalities than those struggling with nursing shortages. Just two states had more facilities reporting nursing shortages than it did. The great tragedy is that we have known since summer why covid-19-related cases and deaths occur in nursing homes. On Nov. 15, the US had about 135,000 new covid-19 cases.
