The COVID-19 pandemic

Unlike some places, women account for 68% of positive cases.  I imagine that many are the underpaid and overworked nursing staff at LTC facilities.  A horrifying situation that needs to be fixed immediately.

Today's data shows it at 63% female cases. Lower, but still significantly over the population share. But the total number of LTC staff cases adds up to only 115, so I don't think that's sufficient to explain the difference (some LTC workers are male, too).

However, there are 228 confirmed cases in LTC and RH residents. And women are a significant majority of those, given their longer life expectancy.

I assume you are talking about addressing the LTC issues in general, rather than the percentage of women working there.
