74% (over 650,000) have been

74% (over 650,000) have been people 65 and older.
23% (over 200,000) have been people between the ages of 40 and 64.

Those not willing to get vaccinated and/or wear masks show how much they care for the older people.

They are probably thinking how much the country will be saving on Medicare and Social Security.

About 150,000 nursing home residents and staff have died of Covid-19, according to data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, accounting for about 15% of total Covid-19 deaths in the United States.

Every staff member and resident seems like they should be vaccinated, tested, masked, socially distanced. The facility should have ventilation that combats respitory transmission.

My understanding is St. Jude’s tests everyone twice a weak. No self testing, done by staff nurses.

Interesting. Less than I thought. So, 500,000 people over 64, not in nursing homes have died from Covid-19. Must be all the family gatherings where the youngsters have to see memaw and papaw or going to church or whatever. Sheesh.
