It would be good to separate out the nursing home deaths on a daily and the percentage they represent of the total deaths.
Why? Are they “dispensable”?
Dennis, you can check out the ISDH Dashboard, it has a totals page plus a LTC page. I don’t think it will give you the breakout in the daily numbers, but it will give you totals. As of Thursday morning, total deaths in Indiana, 3,405 LTC deaths in Indiana, 1,995 (58.6%) They also have added a school page.

The ISDH Dashboard also gives you more information to understand the numbers, for example, the 20 deaths reported are actually for the period 9/8/20 to 9/29/20.
No not at all. Just curious as to concentrated group numbers. Absolutely no one is dispensable. I have no idea how you read that into my request.
Jennifer – Do you know of anyone who moved into a nursing home ever left alive?
