100,000 of the COVID-Associated Deaths in the US Are From Nursing Homes

0.5% of the population contributes over 40% of the deaths (more if NY's juking of the numbers is taken into account) but please continue abusing children over it (not that it's even helping)

The average life expectancy of nursing home residents at move-in is under 2 years

Tehe Covid-19 death toll linked to U.S. nursing homes and other long-term care facilities has surpassed 100,000, according to a Wall Street Journal tally of data from around the U.S.

The coronavirus disease is particularly risky for elderly people with underlying health conditions, and nursing homes house such residents in close confines. Outbreaks have also hit other kinds of senior homes like assisted-living facilities, and the deaths stemming from long-term care outbreaks comprise nearly 40% of the more than 260,000 overall Covid-19 deaths recorded by Johns Hopkins University.

The pace of deaths in this vulnerable population is on the rise, according to federal data tracking nursing homes, the hardest-hit kind of senior facility. These outbreaks mirror the growth in cases and rising tide of deaths nationwide.

“Sadly, nothing has changed,” said Tamara Konetzka, a professor of health-services research at the University of Chicago.

The Journal’s tally of state, federal and local data also includes more than 670,000 probable and confirmed Covid-19 cases in long-term care, affecting both residents and staff members. The real death toll and case counts are likely higher due to delays in some states’ reporting and gaps in the numbers. For example, New York state doesn’t specify counts for nursing-home cases or Covid-19-linked deaths among nursing residents who died outside the facility, which often occurs when the sick are sent to hospitals.

Some state-level counts may reflect outbreaks in other kinds of adult group homes that are lumped in with nursing and assisted-living facilities. Data from some states also include probable or presumed Covid-19 deaths, which can mean ones not confirmed by a laboratory test, which was an issue during testing shortages early in the pandemic.

    100,000 die every year anyway.

    This year NO ELDER has died from the FLU, OLD AGE, BEING OVER MEDICATED TO DEATH, FALLING -BREAKING THER HIP WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS TO INFECTION AND DEATH,PNEUMONIA, HEART ATTACK, STROKE, AND THE OTHER 100,000 OTHER WAYS TO LEAVE THIS ASYLUM CALLED EARTH.

    covid is hardly worse than ordinary flu—covid hysteria has enriched billionaires and inflamed paranoia, and damaged social conditions and relations

    It’s all fraud from top to bottom. There are ZERO “Covid deaths”- you say there are- give me a single study where SARSCov2 has been properly purified- hint: doesn’t exist.

    PCR tests are rigged. No need to go over that here is there? All these folks with “positives” have viral debris being detected by a phony PCR tests jacked up to 40 cycles. These are crimes.

    The 100,000 figure is also bogus. It is WAY higher than that. We still have states in the US which have refused to turn in their figures on nursing home deaths and states like NY which have admitted to withholding the information. How can you assess a figure when you have been told outright r=that information on that figure is not fully disclosed.

    Then the DEATH CERTIFICATES themselves:

    The majority of people who died had significant comorbidities, such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

    Counting death certificates with a ‘mention’ of covid as being a death caused by covid is a gross misrepresentation of the facts and has vastly over exaggerated the death toll.

    The rules for the signing of death certificates have been changed solely for “Covid” by the Coronavirus 2020 Act.

    Doctors do not even need to have physically seen the patient in order to sign death certificates.

    The Act has removed the need for a confirmatory medical certificate for cremations.

    Autopsies have virtually been banned, no doubt leading to misdiagnosis of the true cause of deaths; and also reducing our understanding of the disease itself.

    Worse still, care home staff who largely have no medical training are able to give a statement as to the cause of death.

    “Covid” was put on death certificates merely on the ‘suspicion’ of people having “Covid.” This may well be unlawful, since it is a crime to falsify death certificates.

    People who die within 28 days of a positive PCR test are deemed to have died from “Covid”, even if they die in a car crash or from a heart attack; clearly over inflating the death toll.
