More Than 1,000 Coronavirus Cases Among New York Nursing Homes

Wall Street Journal: Robin Jump, associate professor of medicine, spoke about the growing number of coronavirus cases in nursing homes: “[It] speaks to … how difficult infection protection and control is,” she said, adding that nursing homes that don’t already have cases of Covid-19 shouldn’t be forced to accept patients with the illness: “That one patient coming in could lead to 20 patients getting sick and having to go to the hospital for care.”
