Show notes

Four of five COVID-19 fatalities in Kansas were people at least 65 years of age, but that group is a mere 11% of the population. Vulnerability of medically challenged people in large residential facilities makes public disclosure of outbreaks a "life or death" public service. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment offers a weekly summary of COVID-19 clusters. Advocates for the elderly and disabled appreciate KDHE's site-specific list, but suggest broadening information shared on long-term care facilities.
