my dad's now through the other side of all this, and while he hasn't talked about his experience in ICU, when I waved to him through the window after he got home he broke down and started sobbing uncontrollably.

He hasn't cried for about 20 years as far as I know. He's been through some poo poo.

and what's your state's nursing-home stats? what is your state doing to address institutionalized spread of covid?

if you want some data that isn't US related but might give an idea of how bad things are getting, look at Canada, where we seem to be counting nursing home deaths (at least in Ontario & Quebec) and there's been a lot of reports about the "two epidemics" at work: one in the general population and one in long-term care homes.

It's godawful and we're now at the point where the Canadian army is dispatching health care professionals to help look after homes where the staff is incapable of looking after everyone who is sick.

this is old but it's a good place to start: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/04/14/we-dont-have-a-covid-19-epidemic-deaths-in-long-term-care-show-we-have-two.html

There's only a little talk about reforming the system after the fact but people are dancing around the fact that Ontario residences got privatized 20 years ago, and our healthcare systems inability to care for everyone is the fault of austerity policies enacted by successive Liberal and Conservative governments on since before I was born.

"82% of Canada's COVID-19 deaths have been in long-term care, new data reveals"
