As we’ve been reporting for months, elder care facilities have been the hardest hit by COVID. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported more than 50,000 deaths from the virus directly connected to long-term elder care facilities. And veteran nursing home residences have seen some of the highest numbers of deaths. Last week, it was...

The classic NYC theme song, “New York, New York,” made prominent by Frank Sinatra, begins: Start spreadin’ the news, I’m leavin today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York… Based on “Executive...
