Dr. (Dickless) "Rachel" Levine--the face of Coronarvirus to Pennsylvanians.
The she/he/it's mommy was whisked out of a long term care facility JUST BEFORE flooding such places with COVID patients.
68% of PA COVID deaths have occurred in LTC--no state, not even NY--has so high a percentage.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Here in GA family members still can’t enter assisted living facilities and nursing homes.
It’s prudent. Protect the vulnerable. One case would spread like wildfire.
Same here in Texas
They can, however, go to the person’s back door and talk thru the glass(or by phone).
Only Visitor will be the Angel of Death or Jesus, or both.

If more of those old folk die before the election every last one of them in the Philadelphia area will join the other deceased and vote multiple times for Biden.
Yep, here in MT, a Billings nursing home is really being hit hard. Close to half of the state's cases.
If they follow the example of warren wilheim it will be after they all are permanent democrats
I assume that you meant this in a humorous way, but it's actually true. My mother-in-law passed away in a Personal Care facility at the end of May. We had not been allowed to see her, and she was clearly depressed and did not really understand what was going on. After she died, they told us we could "see her" if we wanted. So sad, so wrong!
BTW -- I am allowed in to work in that same facility and most other Personal Care and Independent Living Senior communities in the area (I am a Senior move manager) but I still could not see her even if I was in the building, cleared by staff and properly masked.

One of Mrs. L’s distant cousins died of COVID in a LTC; mercifully, they allowed each of her adult children to visit during her final hours for no longer than 10 minutes each.
"Only I can do that".
This mentally deranged, evil POS.
Thank God I didn't have anyone in these homes or I would have been on national news.
Has anyone in this moronic generation tried teleconferencing for talking to people in nursing homes? It’s cheap and easy now in areas with high speed Internet service.
I’m sorry I guess I have a different opinion than many here...most of those in nursing homes have lived long lives and most would not want to end up dying all alone without seeing their significant other or their children. I am guessing most who have family would rather still be able to see their family, touch their loved ones hand, and take the chance versus potentially dying without saying goodbye or spending their last few months completely alone.
I know a husband and wife who have been married for 65 years. He got hurt and was put into a nursing home. Now they are worried he may die and she cannot even be with him his last few months of their life together. It’s pathetic...suit the people up, put on a special mask but let them in. If nurses and doctors can be suited up and be safe around people then why, out of sheer kindness, can they not do the same in this situation?
Many elderly people are not computer or technology savvy. A simple Jitterbug cell phone was the limit for my M-i-L. Even the new Xfinity or Verizon talk-to remotes can confound them. Our average client is age 88 and we move few computers or laptops, alltho’ it has gotten more common to see them in the last couple of years.
Setting up & responding to something as simple as a video call or Zoom meeting may be beyond their capabilities, esp. if they have cognitive decline or trouble with eyesight or hearing. And aides & nurses would be unlikely to help with that sort of thing, esp. if it meant setting up a new system, they just don’t have the time.
