    Not only that but only 0.2% of Americans live in nursing homes so it means 0.2% of our population accounts for 40% of Covid deaths. This entire shutdown has been a waste of time and money and needs to end yesterday.

    "Almost 40% of COVID-19 deaths nationwide are concentrated in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, at least in the states reporting the data, a non-profit foundation’s analysis found."

    Yet governors continued to stash positive COVID patients inside of these homes, it requires ironically enough: An appointed prosecutor to investigate. What did these governors know, and when did they know it?

    so did Trump make a mistake telling the States to shut down the Country?

    not sure I believe 43k of the people that died were in nursing homes though

    Wanna know what I'm looking forward to next? Rate of infection by age group. That'll make things even clearer for us as we continue to unravel this disgusting puzzle forced on all of us.

    Poverty is a factor as well. Perhaps creating more poverty was not a wise solution!

    Especially living in clustered homes, there hasn't really been a follow up on the homeless and I think that's important as the amazon tribes in Africa have been facing a difficult situation.

    Huuuummmmm, according to Republicans, said 40% is an over-inflated percentage, as they believe a great majority died of other causes.

    Therefore, I'll be watching!

    I believe the statistics and the economy should have been immediately up after the curve was flattened which happened relatively fast. Trump made a mistake listening to the CDC after that but ultimately it’s on the governors to decide for their state.
