Pay for a test? That's a strange and inefficient practice for a public health emergency.
In Canada 81% of deaths were in long term care facilities for seniors. A recent peer-reviewed study compared public and private facilities. Both types of facilities had similar numbers of outbreaks, but private (for-profit) facilities had more cases and more deaths per capita than the public facilities.
In BC (we get a lot of data from the government) the median ages reported out for cases, hospitalization and deaths were interesting I thought.
Median age for cases - 50 years old
Median age for hospitalizations - 69 years old
Median age for deaths - 85 years old
