I spend most of my time caring for my elderly family members. Most of what I do is farming and ranching related. What I have observed is that my uncle who is 74 is steadily declining in health while being cooped up. I try to get him out with me to feed cows as it perks him right back up. I think all this is doing more harm than good to some of our elderly folks.
It is good to be needed for a real task.
“What I have observed is that my uncle who is 74 is steadily declining in health while being cooped up.”
My BIL’s mother has been in assisted living for about three years. Little by little her memory has declined, but was almost imperceptible. She still “tracked”, and was involved in conversations, etc. Since the lockdown began, she has taken a deep dive into dementia. What’s it been — six weeks now? Her daughters used to visit every day, but now they can’t. Now she thinks her late husband lives in the apartment next door, takes the car and leaves her alone. It’s heartbreaking, and nobody can go comfort her. Talk about elder abuse.
What these RAT politicians and MSM have done to our country is unforgivable.
