This thread is full of morons who clearly don’t understand any of this. First, they whine about being able to break free from the tyranny! They screech that the “at risk” people should stay at home.

And now...they want to bitch about not being able to bring their asymptomatic bodies into the place where the MOST susceptible people are.

If you want to spend so much time with them, bring them to your home and care for them.

It’s like you have no regard for anyone’s safety, as long as you can get what you want.

What a bunch of babies.

And yes...my wife had half of her colon removed in the middle of this. My mother in law is in a SNF and hasn’t had visitors for both.

So, I understand the pain associated with this. What I don’t understand is how selfish and down right stupid so many Freepers are.

I agree. I work in a hospital. I am not in favor of this lock down nonsense but regarding this policy I think, for the time being it's wise. There are exceptions in extremes cases where the death of the patient is is imminent and family and clergy are allowed to say final good byes.

Extremely. One evening, I saw a middle aged couple standing outside the ground floor window of a care institution. The woman was calling, “Mother, I love you, Mother,” and her husband was holding up a small piece of paper to the window (I think it probably had mother’s name on it so the nurse could tell her). It literally made me cry.

It’s much crueler to die alone than anything else, and much crueler for the families and friends to know that this person (especially an older confused person) died alone. And not even the clergy was allowed to visit them.

Stupid? My mother had a heart attack, and I have COVID antibodies.

I was likely exposed when three co-workers were quite sick in December, and all three were tested for the flu, and essentially told, “We don’t know what you have, but it is NOT the flu.”

You have been buying into models, Fauci and Birx doom and gloom for months now. Yours is the selfish, one policy fits all approach.

I pulled my 99 yo mother out of a nursing home when it became apparent I would not be able to visit her.

She is doing better at home with some nursing care I pay for along with some Medic Aid.

She will die at home when God calls her to a new home.

As Mothers Day nears, I think we should be able to visit our moms and grandmothers in rest homes. We could stay 6 feet away..take temperatures..wear mask gloves..whatever..but many of us haven’t seen our Moms for months. I know many of the Moms do not understand why relatives don’t visit. This should end soon. It’s beginning to look cruel..
