For *any* given age, a person in a nursing home will be of worse health than their peers who aren't in nursing homes. If they were still capable of unassisted living, they'd not be in nursing homes. It doesn't seem at all outlandish that even 75% of patients would be exposed.

It's really hard to contain these sorts of things, especially when places are understaffed. Lot of people are in contact with one another. A lot of people get sick in *hospitals* because of how things spread. Nursing homes aren't kept to the same standards.

Sure once it’s in the whole place gets it, but you really think every single nursing home was that incompetent about preventing original transmission?
