On April 20th, 63.232.251.202 removed all mentions to 'La Vida Lleno nursing home'. The removals were reverted by User:Ed6767 the same day. On July 14th, the same IP address again scrubbed mentions of *La Vida Lleno nursing home* from this article. Acute care facilities are mentioned by name in the press releases, and outbreaks seem meaningful. Any reason not to include them? Tstock05 (talk) 00:21, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tstock05, not that I know of, unexplained content removal, feel free to add back. Ed6767 talk! 00:30, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Was the percentage of New Mexico's population who were tested for COVID-19 from Mar 1st to May 31st was 5%, low compared to Indiana which is at 16%? I suppose it's because NM has a smaller population density to explain the community spread wasn't "high" for their state. The Navajo Nation also in parts of AZ and UT have the majority of NM's confirmed cases, they have the highest per capita (3%) of COVID-19 cases in the US and maybe the world. 2605:E000:100D:C571:6DCE:ABEA:BC50:DF93 (talk) 09:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
