It’s just a matter of luck whether somebody who’s a staff member at a given facility happens to catch COVID-19. What that indicates is that occasionally you can have a pretty horrendous nursing home that just gets lucky and none of their staff happen to catch it. Conversely, you can have a stellar nursing home that gets unlucky and the staff member catches the disease and brings it in.
