Nursing Home Covid Death Declines

Some good news on the Covid front. Ever since they started with vaccinations they have targeted nursing homes, because that's where the most vulnerable people are and where there was the highest incidence of death of any group. It seems like it's having the desired effect. Ever since vaccinations started the deaths in nursing homes has been dropping. They are now down almost 70% compared to the date of commencement. Generic US Covid deaths have also started to decline, but they were still increasing for the first month that vaccinations were underway. Very impressive statistics for the nursing homes though. Huge improvement.

Mass Covid 19 update. Very good news to report today. Cases came in at 2,888 over the weekend, which works out to 963 per day, which is a lot lower than it has been. They only did 115,201 tests, or only 38,400 per day, so the Positive Test Rate ticked up to 2.5%. Deaths though, came in at ZERO, which for three days is absolutely fantastic. The last day we had zero deaths was July 13th of last year, and that was just one day. There were only four other days during this entire pandemic that we had zero deaths. I hope it becomes a trend. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,563,869 Total Confirmed Deaths: 19,006 Slight improvement in the hospitals. Eight people got out of the hospital and two got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 216 and 31, respectively.
