(16,472 posts)for 3 decades and worked there, too. I know exactly the poverty level and inequality and all the other issues.
You have posted many times about staff, etc, spreading the virus around. This is simply not happening here. The outbreak at the nursing home has consistently been at least 2/3rds of all cases and almost all of new cases as well as being 90% of all deaths. We do not have a robust mass transit system here. There is exactly 1 bus that stops at the facility and you have to either drive or take another bus to the transit system depot to catch it.
The staff are known. There is no reason contact tracing should not be being done assuming it's not. There have been no outside visitors since mid-March. There have been 2 or 3 (2 residents, 1 staff) other cases reported at 2 other area nursing homes. All have recoverd, iirc. This is the only facility with a major problem.
I will repeat again, the state department of health has been in charge of the facility since April 12th. That there continues to be infections there is a major fail on the part of the state and DoH. Congressman Lamb is so frustrated, he has asked for a federal investigation of what has been going on there.
