Gee I wonder why that is?
Wife is the RN director of a extended-long term care center. Its 1 (one) RN and 2 assistants per 25 after 3pm? Or something like that ( rarely listened) and it's even more patients per nurse on the 11pm to 7am night shift.

And they all work multiple sites, along with temp staff RN's. When that virus starts hitting those centers they are fuuucked. It will be in and rolling long before people know.

I cant even watch the PA gov updates anymore. The incompetence listening to these clowns talk about shit they clearly dont understand makes my anxiety redline.
