Given that a fifth of nursing homes In the US reported shortages of PPE, it would be a smarter use of resources to incentivize PPE production. Potential perverse incentives could mean that the most fragile older adults are turned away by risk-averse managers & owners. https://twitter.com/shiramstein/status/1306551714271592450
We are already seeing worse outcomes among residents in nursing homes that serve majority-Black clients. These are the same nursing homes whose residents have higher readmissions rates after hospitalizations- in part due to the cumulative effect of racism on health.
And the above doesn't address staffing shortages & the compound risks associated with the current staffing models in nursing homes, which rely on part-time shift work (meaning workers work in more than facility in high-contact with susceptible residents ON TOP OF PPE shortages).
