when the visitor ban was in place helped the scientists"see" the movements of people going into and out of nursing homes. The data showed a lot of nursing home workers are — like Tapia — working at more than one facility. Chen says the findings suggest that one source of the spread of infections is staff who work in multiple nursing homes.
After each of her shifts, Tapia worries she'll bring the coronavirus home to her granddaughter. She tries to take precautions, including buying N95 masks from nurses. She knows it's not just patients who are at risk. Nursing home workers such as Tapia are also contracting COVID-19 — in California alone,At the nursing home she works at in the morning, Tapia gets an N95 mask that she must only use — and reuse — in that facility.
"There are some facilities in Florida, in New Jersey, where they're sharing upwards of 50 to 100 workers," says UCLA associate professor, who, along with her colleagues, examined data during the federal visitor ban from March to May."This is over an 11-week time period, but that's a huge number of individuals that are moving between these facilities; all of these are potential sources of COVID transmission.
There are lot of China virus deniers in the MSM. Many virologists also side with CCP & 石正丽. These people may be initially fooled by the fake evidence that Covid19 virus came from nature but not anymore. The lack of compassions in the science community is SHOCKING and IMMORAL.
Thank you Trump. Democrat governors and mayors were killing our elderly.

Great study. We hope Kevin Bacon won't get upset?
This whole pandemic could’ve been handled so much better & we wouldn’t be in the hell we are in now, with so many Americans having lost their loved ones. If only we had in office a REAL president, instead of the Hitler wanna be along w the circus from hell we call the SenateGOP
With a parent working at a nursing home, they are not all better than the rest of the public in terms of virus prevention. One went on a weeks vacation and returned back to work without quarentene. They tested positive. It spread through the home, 1/4 of all the patients died.
this is terrible news
