Does anyone know if there is currently a source, or if there would be a way to calculate in retrospect, outbreaks in nursing homes? There are hundreds of nursing homes where a sizable portion of the community died in a couple of weeks which is very abnormal.
The only reason I'm confused about stories like the one above or the few about Covid-19 in California in January is that wouldn't we see such data inevitably?
A lot of people have stories about getting the worst sickness of their life in February which I understand but am also skeptical of (with bias probably 10% of the population gets a self-described worst flu of their life every year and Bayesian thinking would suggest almost none of these were Covid). However, it seems like nursing home data would be concrete.

- bb2018 6y agoThank you. I was missing more than a few.
- bredren 6y agoI have a private list of every nursing home / retirement center in the United States. I can not share this, but if someone can propose a way to mesh this with other data, looking for a specific finding I could try it.

- bestnameever 6y agoNot sure if this would be helpful for you but Los Angeles Public Health has a list of outbreaks at nursing homes in Los Angeles http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/locations.htm http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/locations...
