Psst...Don't Tell Anyone, but Grandma's Dead

In Florida the governor doesn't want anyone to know if their parents elder-care facility is a Covid-19 hot spot.  In Ohio, facilities that care for the elderly appear to be last on the list for testing and the staff at those facilities are also last to get adequate supplies of PPE.

The lack of statewide information along with the inability to do widespread testing in nursing homes puts residents and staff members at risk and is frustrating some operators. They contend that not knowing how pervasive the virus has become within long-term care facilities is hampering their response.
