A dozen veterans have died from COVID-19 at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans, with half of the deaths reported over the last few days.

All the local news media are reporting this.
Seems that Forty-five residents tested positive between Nov. 27 and Thursday, Fred Schaible of the Michigan Veterans Facilities Board of Managers confirmed to News 8. He added the first two people who tested positive were being released from isolation Thursday.
Sixteen staff members have also tested positive since Nov. 27.
The home recorded its first case in a resident in late April. Archived reports online show that before Nov. 27, it had seen a total of 25 cases among residents all year.
45 Residents represents nearly 50 percent of the current population.
So it seems to me that the draconian lock down procedures, basically putting residents under house arrest without giving them due process, was a total waste.
I don't know. I just want things to get back to normal so we can go visit friends, and so volunteers can go help our vets.
