Why haven't they gotten a handle on nursing homes yet??

In my state, over half of the deaths have been in nursing homes or assisted living centers. 23% of the positive cases are over age 65, yet they account for 87% of deaths. Zero deaths under age 24.

What are they doing to address this? It should be all hands on deck in these facilities.

Newsom expected to close all California beaches after weekend crowds

April 30, 2020, 2:34 AM EDT

The California Police Chiefs Association told members in an email Wednesday that Gov. Gavin Newsom will announce Thursday that all beaches would be closed as of May 1 to prevent the kind of crowding seen over the weekend, when warm weather prompted thousands to flock to the Orange County coastline.

State parks are also expected to be closed.

The email, which appeared to include a memo, was confirmed to NBC News by two law enforcement sources.

"After the well-publicized media coverage of over-crowded beaches this past weekend, in violation of Governor Newsom's Shelter in Place Order, the Governor will be announcing tomorrow that ALL beaches and all state parks in California will be closed, effective Friday May 1st," the police chiefs' memo states.
