As the pandemic continues the struggle of long term care resident continues
According to new survey data, the number of nursing home residents who have failed to resist the pandemic has surpassed 10,000 in the USA. This number contributes to 20% of the total fatalities due to COVID-19 across the nation.
Till now, 10,361 deaths of long-term care residents, however, it might be possible that the actual number is much more than this because these statistics came with the help of official data from the state department of health and governor’s office in 28 states. Other states are yet to report or not responding to the requests of the information.
Leaders at the center for medicare and Medicaid decided that nursing care facilities will be required to report the cases of COVID-19 directly to the health officials there, however, till now, none of the agency has released comprehensive national data on nursing home cases or fatalities during the outbreak.
The series of criticizing the federal government continues as the death count is rising continuously. The general opinion is that the Trump administration rather than giving excuses and blaming the state authorities should focus more attention on long term care facilities where some of the most vulnerable residents are getting caught in the pandemic.
Agency administrator Seema Verma in an interview, told ABC News that she has full faith in the administration, which is taking extreme action against the crisis.

Man accused of shooting a cook in restaurant for telling him to wear a mask in Aurora
Authorities said that a man was arrested for shooting a Waffle House employee because he was asked to wear a mask inside the restaurant by the employee.
Kelvin Watson, 27, was arrested by the Aurora Police on a charge of first-degree on Monday.
According to the arrest affidavit, Watson came after midnight on Thursday in the restaurant, and the waitress asked her to wear a mask to get served. The restaurant was only offering carry-out service.
Then Watson returned with a mask in hands but did not put it on, and when he was again asked to wear the mask, he put a small gun on the counter and told the cook that he could "blow your brains out," said a witness in the affidavit.
The following night, Watson stepped in the restaurant and did not wear a mask again, and when he was again told that he would not be served, then he slapped the cook in the face. Then he shot the cook in the chest or abdomen outside of the restaurant as the cook ran to getaway. The cook was released on Friday afternoon from the hospital.
"We are deeply saddened and regret that this senseless act of violence occurred," Waffle House spokesperson Njeri Boss said.
