- Summary:
- A report on the first American outbreak of the coronavirus, at the Life Care Center nursing home in Kirkland, a Seattle suburb in Washington state. In February, the nursing home was overwhelmed by a high number of coronavirus cases that quickly depleted the nursing home of its staff, facilities, and medical supplies, ultimately resulting in numerous deaths. Includes interviews with Nancy Butner, vice president of Life Care Centers of America's Northwest Division; Dr. Geoffrey Baird, chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Washington School of Medicine; Dr. Francis Riedo, medical director of infectious disease and prevention at Evergreen Hospital; and Dr. Jeff Duchin, a twenty-two-year veteran of the county health department who was in charge of the local government response to Life Care.
