Having retired from a large,well known,hospital after 25 years I'm inclined to believe that “special measures” (my term) regarding visitors to hospitals and long term care facilities might be appropriate today.It would take a while to explain why I believe this but,long story short,there are many vulnerable people in such facilities and “hospital acquired infections” are found even in ordinary times and in the finest hospitals.

Also an issue in Prisons
Hugh out break in two penitentiaries in TN,
brought in by worker or visitor

Although “no visitor” rules have been unkind,
more unkind is the wildfire outbreaks in very fragile populations

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.

Ditto that....And I still work sometimes at a Hosp.
