Add in military cases, add in cases that have occurred on cruise ships or other places where people can't leave...
What really is the number of cases from 'ordinary' people going on with their 'ordinary' lives? It seems to me that clarification on that point has been missing from the overall discussion.
"I feel like I'm missing something when it still seems like huge number of Covid cases are from nursing homes."
There's been terrible mismanagement of this in nursing homes in a couple of states in particular. That was completely avoidable.
In most states, nursing homes have done well.
The military and prisons have accounted for some cases, but not all that many. There's been plenty of community spread in some places.
Since there's (apparently) no treatment and no vaccine, herd immunity is the only workable outcome. We've flattened the curve, let's continue to take reasonable, easy precautions and ride this thing out.
