Again, the devil is in the details.

The article says 1/3 of NY's deaths were in nursing homes. Louisiania, which barred COVID patients from nursing homes for 30 days, actually has a higher proportion of nursing home deaths, 40%.

Was this the right decision? I don't know--the optics are certainly bad. But it's not as cut-and-dried as the headline suggests.
lol no
