My mother is in a care home in Virginia. El Chapo has more freedom than she does.

“Thomas blames Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for her mother’s “quick decline” and death, since he let nursing homes continue to isolate their residents even as the rest of the state began opening up. “”

In our county 50% of deaths are in long-term facilities. Neighboring counties are 60%.

It wasn’t sincere however, so he can stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine.

So, if you shove CV patients into nursing homes, kill 10K or so people therein, and ignore a Navy ship brought in to assist your people, you get an Emmy and a book advance to tout your leadership.

But if you protect elders in assisted living and they get bored, you’re to blame.

If someone is going to kill themselves over lock-downs, they should be sure to take one lock-down politician with them before they go.

There is an elderly couple across the street from us.

I heard sirens Monday and looked out the bedroom window upstairs.

There was a fire truck and Ambulance.

I watched as they took the wife away. She died.

Emotional event for me.

She was on an elevated gurney with a mask. Very peaceful looking but lifeless.

I was struck by how respectful the responders were.

There was no racing off to the ER though, so it was clear what was happening.

At 54, I’d never seen that.

First responders are the best. How do you clear your head of emotion and save what you can in some of the most heartbreaking situations.

God bless them.

Democrat policies NOT legally enforceable... are killing our elders (who know things important to our survival as a species) and; destroying family owned business, which support families, essential to our continuation as a species; and killing the unborn in the womb (it is also impossible to survive as a species without producing progeny).

Democrats are killers and murderers.
They worship death.
A substantial portion of false conservatives and RINOS... are actually on board with the democrats on every key issue. Republican governors, are killing as well... all in the name of Covid...

May the covid (force) be upon them all.

BEST idea ever!

I’ve sometimes considered a “blaze of glory” exit once I know my end is very near . . .

Isn’t that what sort of happened to Teri Shiavo? When there were signs that she was beginning to recover, her loving husband (curse him to hell) ordered her TV be turned off and wouldn’t let anyone visit her, including her family? Her murder is still so vivid to me.

And people argue with me when I say these lockdowns, nursing home death zones, etc, are a way to kill off old people to reduce Social Security costs.

I believe lockdown is robbing everyone of life’s joys, not just old folks.
Senior prom/graduation?...gone.
Senior week(beach drunkenness)?...gone.
First day of N-grade?...gone.
Life savings?...gone.
Your dream small business?...gone.
Dating?...gone.

So people are more depressed, leading to alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and suicide. Thanks government...

My husband and I are the only elderly couple on our street, My husband turned 82 in April, and I turned 79 in August. He watches TV all day and keeps it on at night. (that is why he is sleeping in the living room because I can not sleep with the TV on.

I do fall asleep, but I do wake up, and don't need that. He does go outside to check the mail, (he loves junk mail)

I do not go outside either because I have a degenerative disc disease and hip joint disease and it's hard for me to walk, even with a cane

its robbing our youth too....its robbing all of us....

and for what?....we can't stop a virus...even after lockdowns and mask wearing, the virus continues, as is its natural way....

our entire country is on the verge of becoming totally leftist and I blame the panic demics for it....you didn't use wisdom nor common sense or even science to go along with the totalitarians....
