The more interesting stats are when a graph like that is updated to show where the "Deaths" are...
In PA Nursing homes account for only 19% of all Covid cases... but a whopping 68% of the Deaths. Hence they usually only state the much lower overall "confirmed case stat"...
And that makes sense. Most in nursing home (or other skilled-care facilities) generally have underlying or very obvious health issues, whether it be COPD, heart disease, diabetes, immuno deficiencies (underweight, etc) and age. In NY, as well as surrounding states including PA, pretty much ALL deaths are listed as CV19-caused. The heart attack killed the man in Room 123, but NY lists it as a CV19 death. And don't forget, in NY, there have been absolutely NO flu- or pneumonia-related deaths since March 23. As if the flu and pneumonia has expiration or cut-off dates. Who knew?
