“Well, one idea that’s got a lot of currency now has been around for nearly 20 years. It’s called the Green House Project. These are nursing homes with an emphasis on the home part of it. They’re small, with maybe eight to 12 residents. That cuts down on infection spread. Everyone has a private room, which also helps control infection. And during the pandemic, Green House homes have been one-fifth as likely to have cases of COVID-19 as traditional nursing homes.”
