The Cookeville nursing home is a great example of the challenges we face.
2 people had symptoms, were tested and the tests were positive.
They had already limited visitors and were screening employees before they started working every shift.
They then tested all employees and patients for COVID-19.
28 patients and 16 employees tested positive. The vast majority of positive people exhibited no symptoms. None of the patients had a fever over 100.
I believe this shows that the virus is much more prevalent than current numbers report but also highlights the challenges of letting this thing die out.
