352 deaths just in Bergen county nursing homes alone. That's almost as many deaths as in all of Florida.

This will end up being an absurdly large scandal.

Most of these deaths are just accelerated a few months from when they would have happened anyway. Once the pandemic subsides, the death rate in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities will be lower than usual for the next year or so, because most of the people who would have died during that period will have died during the pandemic.
