Pea-n-Me, I know you are VERY PASSIONATE about telling me in various posts how great the hospitals & healthcare workers in Massachusetts did with COVID over NYS!
But I would be remiss if I didn't do my own research on Massachusetts hospitals and their own number of Coronavirus deaths linked to nursing homes. And I noticed you left this section out earlier.
In this NY Times article, updated Aug 13th,
in terms of percentage, it lists Massachusetts as SIXTH,
SIXTH worst in the U.S. in terms of percentage of cases who died in nursing homes due to Coronavirus.
64% of the COVID cases in Massachusetts nursing homes died.
NY is down at 45th on the list, still as of Aug 13th, at 20%. Even if they left off some numbers, it's nowhere near SIXTH. Even if we generously raised the percentage to 50%, that would still make NY around 22nd on the list.
I can't do as good a job at explaining as the list and map do, so I will just post them for people to read if they like.
