To the editor:

As a physician who has practiced medicine for over 40 years, it was initially fascinating, but subsequently horrifying, to witness the global COVID-19 pandemic unfold. The virus has affected the entire world, and especially the residents of long term care facilities, who in the USA represent 1 percent of total infections, but 37 percent of deaths. This is particularly true in New Hampshire, which leads all states in the nation in percentage of deaths in long term care facilities (LTCF) — a whopping 75 percent. These folks are vulnerable!
