42% of all Covid-19 deaths are coming from Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

Led by the 81% here in Minnesota...

Click image for link to story

42 percent of U.S. COVID-19 deaths have occurred in nursing homes and assisted living facilities (click to enlarge). Nursing homes are residential facilities for those needing 24/7 on-site medical supervision; assisted living facilities are for those not needing 24/7 medical supervision. The share of deaths occurring in nursing homes and assisted living facilities is highest in Minnesota, at 81 percent, using the latest data as of May 22, 2020. Data from May 12 is represented below, as a way of illustrating trends. New Jersey and Ohio changed the way they reported nursing home deaths in the intervening period; New Jersey began to exclude non-lab-confirmed COVID deaths, while Ohio started to include nursing home deaths prior to April 15.

To put this into perspective, we are currently focusing about 90% of our attention on this disease to those people who represent the work force, those who push our economy, and those who are at the least amount of risk. We protect those who need the least amount of protection... while doing almost nothing specifically to stop the spread in these facilities.

Regardless of how you want to argue this, everything about this suggests that we simply have the skills or determination to set up a plan that didn't just play into a one side fits all solution (that has failed to protect the vulnerable while preventing those who drive the economy from doing so).

Fauci says coronavirus second wave 'is not inevitable,' stresses CDC Guidelines
May 27th 2020 1:13PM

White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that a second wave of coronavirus infections “is not inevitable,” but stressed that people should continue following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to curb the spread of the contagion.

Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked by CNN’s Jim Sciutto if Americans should have confidence in the government’s handling of the pandemic.

“It’s getting better and better, Jim,” Fauci said. “I’m feeling better about it as we go by with the weeks that go by, and we see that we’re getting more and more capability of testing. The CDC is putting more of a workforce out there to help us do the kinds of identification, isolation, and contact tracing. I feel better and better that we’re capable of doing that.”

Fauci warned in April that if we didn’t “put into place all of the countermeasures that you need to address this,” Americans “could be in for a bad fall and a bad winter.” If states lifted restrictions too early, he said, infections could rebound and set the country back to March.

“We often talk about the possibility of a second wave, or of an outbreak when you reopen,” Fauci said Wednesday, adding: “We don’t have to accept that as an inevitability.

“If we do the kinds of things that we’re putting in place now ― to have the workforce, the system, and the will to do the kinds of things that are the clear and effective identification, isolation and contact tracing ― we can prevent this second wave that we’re talking about,” he said. “If we do it correctly.”

With states and businesses reopening, Fauci said it’s important to watch for any upticks in infections “carefully.”

“I think the people who out there frolicking need to realize that when you do that and you see no negative effect in one week, please don’t be overconfident because the effect of spreading is not going to be seen for two, three or maybe even more weeks,” he said. “And in that time, you can have the uptick.”

People should be “prudent” and follow CDC guidelines.


Last week, Fauci advised people to “go out” for Memorial Day weekend, but to also avoid crowds, wear masks and maintain physical distance.

“Go for a run. Go for a walk. Go fishing. As long as you’re not in a crowd,”
said Fauci, who said he planned to go on walks with a mask on.

C.H. Truth said...

I am pretty sure that Fauci suggested just a few weeks ago that a second wave wasn't just likely, but pretty much inevitable.

I think it would be best if Fauci admitted sometimes that he is guessing like everyone else, and that even the best epidemiologists in the world are not going to know everything for sure.

Off topic but amusing:

Too Fun To Check: Clinton Jetted On Lolita Express To Sleep With … Ghislaine Maxwell?

Believe it or not, this might be the best fallback scenario for Bill Clinton. According to a new book coming out Tuesday from Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper, the reason that the former president jet-setted with Jeffrey Epstein on the so-called “Lolita Express” didn’t have to do with underaged girls. Clinton had a clandestine affair with Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, according to one source in A Convenient Death:

Ghislaine Maxwell, a constant presence at the ex- president’s side during these trips, was the primary reason Clinton let Epstein ferry him around the world.

“[Bill] and Ghislaine were getting it on,” a source who witnessed the relationship said in an interview. “That’s why he was around Epstein—to be with her.”

The source explained that reporters have been missing the point about the Clinton- Epstein relationship by focusing on Epstein’s sex crimes. “[Clinton’s] stupid but not an idiot,” the source says, dismissing the idea that the ex- president was sexually involved with children.


One proof of this, the book argues, was Clinton’s contacts with Maxwell apart from Epstein. Those did not go unnoticed in the city adopted by the Clintons after they left the White House:

The relationship between Clinton and Maxwell was not confined to these overseas junkets. It continued in New York City, where Clinton on multiple occasions visited Maxwell’s own private townhome at 116 East Sixty-fifth Street, an $11 million pad that runs a touch below seven thousand square feet, much more modest than Epstein’s palatial townhome a few blocks north. (Maxwell purchased it in 2000 for a mere $4.95 million.)

The coziness between the former president and the charming British socialite drew notice in New York social circles. Clinton and Maxwell were spotted dining together at the Madison Avenue Italian mainstay Nello, according to a 2002 New York magazine article, which described Maxwell as a “man-eater” in the same paragraph. When Clinton went stag to a New York education charity gala in late 2001 — Hillary declined to attend — Maxwell was reportedly at his side.

Fauci's public profile has been reduced as of late and although there is no public break, I believe Trump has lost confidence in him. (to which I say, about time).

President Donald Trump responds to a question during a news briefing at the
President Trump on Wednesday reached his worst approval rating in over two years on Rasmussen’s daily index, with just 42 percent of respondents approving of his performance while 57 percent disapproved.

The fifteen-point net disapproval reflects the bleakest picture for the president since December 2017. Rasmussen, whose results tend to skew positively for the president, also found that 30 percent of respondents strongly approve of Trump while 47 percent strongly disapprove, his worst rating since January 2018.

'President Trump threatened to impose federal regulations on — or even shut down — social media platforms after Twitter added a fact-checking reply to his tweets about mail-in voting.The threat came in the form of two tweets.
“Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices,” wrote Trump, who as of Wednesday morning had a total of 48,811 tweets and retweets posted on his Twitter account. “We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.
We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win.
Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!”On Tuesday, Twitter added fact-check language to two of Trump’s posts that falsely claimed mail-in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud. “Get the facts about mail-in ballots,” read a message below the tweets, linking to a fact-check page populated by links and summaries of news articles debunking the assertion.'

*** NOTICE OF CONSTANT SPAMMING and USE OF TAEGAN GODDARD's POLITICAL_LIRE ***

Regular readers of this blog know the constant spamming, lying and obsession for that left-wing Taegan Goddard blog by a certain poster. That poster james, also called the "pastor" (which he claims to be even if you can't tell by his actions) is the POS responsible and considers his mindless rude behavior his hobby. Sometimes he credits Taegan Goddard, sometimes he doesn't.

He has descended so far into TDS and desperation he fills every discussion thread with what people have described as an avalanche of spam. If this is being posted today is no different. He even gets his edited news from that site and spams that if he thinks it will hurt Trump. Every day he repeats what that site posts, regardless of topic. It gets so bad he feels the need to even repeat his spam multiple times in a single thread as well as posting in every active thread the very same spam.

He has exhibited the same mental deterioration as Joe Biden and his postings should be given the same consideration. Both their heads will probably explode when it becomes obvious that Trump will win a second term. Biden will not even notice his head did.

I'm JAMES'S FUCKING DADDY and I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE
