New from @LeadingAge: “Federal, state, & local policy makers must recognize that publicly subsidized senior housing communities are hotspots for #COVID19 infection & spread.

Why did it take so long for LeadingAgeNY to finally recommend testing and retesting of all nursing home staff and residents. With such a high percentage of deaths occurring in nursing homes AND those sent to hospitals to die, such an action was necessary months ago.
