Arnold Haber beat colon cancer and survived a massive heart attack. He later lost the use of both legs after a severe infection. But even when confined to a wheelchair, the 230-pound U.S. Army veteran managed to stay active, his children said. They called him the “Bionic Man,” because nothing could stop him.

In 2017, Haber moved into the New Jersey Veterans Home at Paramus, part of a national network of elder-care facilities for veterans and their families. When the novel coronavirus arrived this year, it ripped the place apart. Of the 281 residents there in early April, at least 189 have tested positive and 65 have died—the most of any nursing home in the hard-hit state.
