By Rachana Pradhan, Kaiser Health News The Trump administration’s latest effort to use COVID-19 rapid tests—touted by one senior official as a “turning point” in arresting the coronavirus’s spread within nursing homes—is running into roadblocks likely to limit how widely they’ll be used. Federal officials are distributing point-of-care antigen tests—which are cheaper and faster than tests that must be run by a lab—to 14,000 nursing homes to increase routine screening of residents and staff. The initial distribution targets nursing homes in hot spots and those with at least three COVID-19 cases, senior Trump administration officials said in July, hailing it as […]

FACT: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo enacted a policy that forced nursing homes to take patients, regardless of whether they were infect with COVID-19. But now, the Democrat is claiming the staggering death toll in New York nursing homes was all the fault of the federal government. “We followed federal guidance on the nursing homes,” Cuomo said Tuesday on NBC’s “Today Show.” “We had more people die than any other state.

Health Editor’s Note: Residents and employees of long term care facilities and nursing homes make up 40% of the coronavirus death toll for the U.S. Admittedly, the residents of these two types of facilities will have coexisting conditions that will make them more vulnerable to coronavirus, so the infection and death rates would be projected to be higher than found in other subsets of population. Early on visitors were forbidden admittance to these facilities but what was not taken into equally important account was that the workers would be leaving and returning after being out in the coronavirus laden world. This […]

Health Editor’s Note: Very early in this pandemic nursing homes and facilities closed their doors to visitors. This was a good move. What went lacking was the fact that the healthcare workers, who would leave at the end of their shift and return the next day, were out and about and being exposed to coronavirus. Since this virus could be spread by anyone who had it, even if there were no symptoms of illness, an infected worker could unknowingly spread the virus to the most fragile of our population. Once the virus was loose in a place where all the residents […]
