While I am stuck at home I thought I would start looking into some of the statistics here.  I noticed that Locally most of the deaths are at nursing homes so I tried to google the Michigan Nursing home statistics and came across this article -

I remember that years ago I was visiting someone in a nursing home and, unsolicited, one of the care aids came up to me and told me that Governor Granholm had just cut the budgets and staff at nursing homes to the legal bare minimum.  They further informed me that they couldn't give the person the care and attention they used to because Granholm was forcing them to operate with a bare minimum of staff.

As I was visiting I saw many shortcuts and it was not difficult to see how infections easily spread around nursing homes.  I noticed that the aids would not put covers on the catheter bags anymore and they would just clip them to the bottom of the wheel chairs and drag them on the ground.  I did Not wonder why so many of the residents suddenly got UTIs and it isn't hard to imagine the coronavirus ravaging these places either.

I really have no idea what has happened to funding since I was told that but I can't imagine that it went up in any way.
