The Nursing Homes With the Most Coronavirus Deaths per 1,000 Residents in the U.S. #Infographic

Published by Web Desk Wednesday, September 16, 2020

Isolation during this pandemic has made many people realize just how important family and friends are to a person's mental health and well being. One demographic this rings true, especially for is the elderly.  Not only have the elders of our generation had the most deaths due to Covid19 they have also faced it many times alone in isolation away from their loved ones. If that is not a terribly horrifying prospect to imagine I don't know what is. But why have nursing homes been such hot spots during the pandemic? For starters, nursing homes and long term care facilities have always struggled with infection control. Upwards of 70% of nursing homes in California alone did not implement any infection control programs noted during inspections prior to the epidemic. Those oversights coupled with the nature of nursing homes and their population of patients with underlying health conditions made them a perfect storm for COVID.

This map shows just how deadly the coronavirus was in nursing homes across the United States.
