Either Cuomo was right (he wasn’t) or keeping our elders safe in the nursing home was right. The two points cannot BOTH be true.
The story evokes some sympathy for the plight. I have a mother in law in a nursing facility. We did not see her for months after visiting at least three times a week.
But they were able to keep the sickness at bay and only lost a few to the virus. This is compared to other facilities within 5 miles that failed to react properly—and lost about 200 patients during the same period.
Sometimes the needs of the one are lost to the benefit of the many. This person came up with a solution that worked for her. Most folks are not that motivated.
Honestly, I am so tired of one or two people crying for their individual cases with complete disregard for how their stupid “wants” will impact everyone else in a facility. If you are so determined to see your nursing home patient, bring them home with you. This idiocy of “it should be her choice” puts the staff and the rest of the residents at risk. And these are the people MOST at risk.
What a selfish country we’ve become.
Why do you seem to always put a negative spin on things? The nursing home called her about the job opening.
Well said, Vermont Lt.
