Whenever you have Large Numbers of people living room to room__even for a short cruise__you WILL have a rapid spread of ANY communicable disease ONCE introduced into the group by JUST ONE SICK visitor
I don't think that even one of EXE's facilities will be affected by the coronavirus. But even if one is, that doesn't mean it will be communicated to all their other facilities and they have 122 across North America. I think that EXE is a very good and very safe investment.
This latest development most certainly could impact EXE share price__with the markets being so nervous Mr Market will tend to paint ALL care homes into the SAME risk eh ?????

Washington State Probing Troubling Coronavirus Outbreak In Nursing Home
The nation's first coronavirus fatality occurred at a hospital in same Seattle suburb as long-term care facility.
By Mary Papenfuss, HuffPost US
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Washington state health officials have launched an investigation into two cases of coronavirus at a nursing home in a suburb of Seattle, the same town where the nation’s first coronavirus fatality occurred.
An outbreak in such a facility is particularly troubling because of the close quarters and the vulnerability of the elderly residents to disease.
A health care worker at the Life Care Center in Kirkland and a female resident in her 70s have tested positive for the disease, state and federal officials revealed in a media call Saturday.
Around 27 of 108 residents and 25 of 180 staff members also have some symptoms of COVID-19, and are being tested, officials said.
Authorities are “very concerned about an outbreak in this setting, where there are many older people,” said county health official Jeff Duchin.

We went to Life Care Center of Kirkland and found these signs outside. There are about 50 people who have symptoms that could indicate Coronavirus, 2 confirmed cases. (One is 70yo patient at Evergreen, one woman in 40s is a center employee now treated at Overlake) @KIRO7Seattle
A man in his 50s with COVID-19 died at the EvergreenHealth hospital in Kirkland. He was not a resident of the nursing home, said CDC officials.
President Donald Trump mistakenly referred to the victim at a press conference Saturday as a “wonderful” woman in her late 50s with health problems. The resident and health care worker from the long-term care facility who tested positive are now being treated at EvergreenHealth.
