“There were news accounts of several patients being held hostage in a COVID ward being rescued by their loved ones.”
We did that in May.
Glad you were able to rescue! I think it may vary between states and between institutions.
Here in Chicagoland, the hospitals fought tooth and nail to prevent release or Ivermectin treatments.
Very disconcerting as I have been to those institutions in the past, but have no intention of going in the future.
