Fifty-one residents and six employees at a Yucaipa nursing home have tested positive for the novel coronavirus and two residents have died, San Bernardino County public health officials said Tuesday afternoon, March 31.

There are 183 positive cases of COVID-19 countywide and there have been 6 deaths.

On Thursday, March 26, Redlands Community Hospital asked county public health workers to expedite a test for a patient coming from the nursing home, Raymundo said.

When the results came back positive, the county notified Cedar Mountain and directed officials to close the facility to admissions and discharges, Raymundo said. Later that day, the patient, an 89-year-old woman with underlying health conditions, died of the disease.

This is becoming all too commonplace at nursing homes across America. Thanks Mitch McConnell for shielding your buddy tRump. You both have blood on your incompetent hands!

I totally agree with your post. However, i would like to know where Yucaipa Nursing Home is.
I see San Bernadino County, but don't know where that is either. I live in PA, so i have no idea where these places are. Please help! Thank you.

And they are not provided masks and gloves. They are the perfect breeding ground for coronavirus, and the most likely route of the virus to the elderly, not only in nursing homes, but everywhere.

The Villages in Florida run on the help of low wage home health aides, housekeepers, etc. Wait until the virus blows up in the Villages. It is only a matter of time. There are already 40 confirmed cases in the Villages, up from only 2 last week. It will be a bloodbath.
