[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/03/politics/navy-hospital-ship-comfort-new-york-coronavirus/index.html[/URL] From NPR on April 22: [B]Fifty-eight percent of the deaths in the state happened in nursing homes in New York City[/B]. Those nursing homes, the NPR numbers show, are notable for their high percentages of residents of color. But even most of the residents who died in facilities in other parts of the state were living in nursing homes that had a high percentage of residents of color. The population in those facilities tend to reflect the demographics of the counties where they were located. [/QUOTE]
