Vulnerable communities such as nursing homes and prisons are getting hit the hardest, and experts say the tolls will grow. Things are just as bad in nursing homes, where the population is especially vulnerable. In Louisiana, more than 30% of the state's coronavirus deaths are from nursing homes and long-term care facilities. "Nursing homes have been ground zero for Covid-19," said Seema Verma, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Of the more than 3,100 counties researchers studied coronavirus cases from late January to mid-April, they found deaths were higher in disproportionally black rural and small metro counties.
