States with the biggest nursing home outbreaks of COVID-19

By late June, more than 40% of all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. had happened inside nursing homes. As much as 44% of those deaths could have been avoided had “cross traffic” among nursing home employees—those who work at multiple nursing homes—been curbed, according to research released at the end of July.

To examine nursing home outbreaks in different U.S. states, Stacker consulted a dataset from the COVID Tracking Project at the Atlantic, a volunteer project which compiles COVID-19 data from states’ public health departments. Forty-six states and Washington D.C. currently report some form of data on outbreaks in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other long-term care facilities, according to the COVID Tracking Project’s Long-Term Care COVID Tracker released on Aug. 12.

Each state has a different reporting system and terminology for these outbreaks, which the COVID Tracking Project has standardized through consultation with public health experts. We have further standardized the dataset by compiling all nursing home and long-term care (LTC) cases into two figures: resident cases and staff cases. We have similarly compiled resident deaths and staff deaths. The 46 states and D.C. with available data are ranked here according to their total COVID-19 cases as of Aug. 6. Our story also includes the total numbers of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and tests conducted in each state as of Aug. 12, via the COVID Tracking Project’s main state dataset.

It is important to note that these rankings do not capture the full scale of the impact that COVID-19 has had on nursing home residents and staff in many states. State-reported data are often incomplete: while some states report cumulative cases and deaths from long-term care facilities, some only report those in current outbreaks, which are defined differently depending on the state. Also, some states only report total cases, some only report total deaths, and two (Missouri and Arizona) only report the number of outbreaks that have occurred in nursing homes.

New York state is one notable case: The state does not report the number of COVID-19 cases that have occurred in its nursing homes, so it is ranked #45 in this story. However, about 6,600 residents and staff of long-term care facilities have died of COVID-19 in the state—the second-highest LTC death toll of any state. And this number may be an undercount, according to recent reporting by the Associated Press.

RIP: Breitbart News Editor Mike Flynn Passes Away

Dan Riehl23 Jun 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our own here at Breitbart News. Mike Flynn has passed away.

Mike was well known and liked by a great many people, both in Washington, DC and across the conservative movement and we have little doubt additional tributes will be pouring in in the days ahead.

His wife Holly Flynn Pitt-Young released the following statement:

It is with extreme sadness and heartbreak to announce that Mike Flynn, an Editor at Breitbart News, unexpectedly passed away Thursday evening.

While Mike had many accomplishments, what he was most proud of, was being an amazing father, husband, son, and friend to all who knew him.

The family wishes for privacy at this difficult time.

Mike is also survived by a daughter Riley Flynn, through a previous marriage to Maura Flynn.

“Mike was a dear friend and was there in the trenches with us from the beginning. He was our original editor of the Big Government website and is and will forever remain an indelible part of Breitbart. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to his family on this terrible night. Mike will be sorely missed,” said Larry Solov, President and CEO of Breitbart News Network.

Added Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, “Mike Flynn was an integral part of the Breitbart News team from the very beginning. Andrew hand-picked him to launch BigGovernment.com and guide our coverage of the ACORN sting videos that put Breitbart.com on the map. He continued to provide institutional political knowledge that was indispensable for our development as a news network. He was also a great patriot and friend.”

“Mike was a fighter, first and foremost. Whether he was running for Congress, serving as a Cruz delegate, or driving narratives on the pages of Breitbart News, he lived his life to advance the cause of liberty,” said Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon.

Reached for comment, Mike’s good friend blogger Jim Hoft said:

Mike Flynn was a dear friend. We attended several Tea Party rallies and conventions together in 2009 and 2010. He was always steady, kind, smart and fun. He was one of Andrew Breitbart’s original warriors. In 2013 when I became deathly ill and nearly died from a sepsis infection Mike wrote my assistant and volunteered to post articles until I was well again. I was so touched when I heard the news. Mike and the Breitbart family filled in for me for weeks until I was well enough to resume posting. I will never forget his kindness. When I spoke with him this week we agreed to meet up in Cleveland. I will miss him dearly. He was a good man and a good friend. Rest in peace.

Tributes from co-workers, friends, and acquaintances are already beginning to flow across Twitter.

Very sorry to hear of the death of my friend and comrade from the original Breitbart days, Mike Flynn. RIP, brother: https://t.co/jedtgNQcdC
