I doubt that “loneliness” has ever been listed as a cause of death anywhere.

The US version of sending them “to the showers”. It just takes longer.

No, they list it as “Covid”.

Lonliness diminishes the will to live - which absolutely can cause death.

… the ban on visitors in nursing homes…

Cuomo only let people with the virus into nursing homes in order to murder them.

Absolutely pathetic. Our family is so lucky that my brother lived with our parents during their lengthy illnesses. They felt love everyday and did not need to go to a nursing home. He will always be a hero in my heart.

I’d rather just be put to sleep.

My mother is in a nursing home in Virginia and my sister lives a couple of miles away. My mother wasn’t allowed to leave for Christmas. Instead they took her to a spot where my sister and her family could drive by and wave to her. El Chapo has more freedom than she does.

Same happened to my Grandmother. She also had dementia, and 2 strokes, but she stopped eating at the end.

And it won’t be on your death certificate or mine my friend, but We Both Know it will have been one of the bigger causes of our deaths.

Both of our posts make that obvious.

I don’t plan on dying anytime soon.

And I ain’t lonely and I ain’t sick.

I am truly sorry.

My mother has it so good and she takes it for granted.

Her memory is slipping but she doesn’t need a nursing home, has kids and sisters that take care of her.

She has a “friend” that visits her every day. She thinks the person is lonely. We are paying her to go there 4 hours a day.

I think of your mom and how terrible this is and how lucky my mom is and I want to slap her.

Not that I ever would.

There but for the grace of God she could have needed a nursing home earlier and been alone in a cuomo prison.

I pray things change where you are. I will pray for your mom

This falls under “Cruel and Unusual Punishment”.

DNyuz is an Armenian website that plagiarizes content word for word from major news sources.
They literally copy and paste entire articles and embed their advertising code for profit.
As one can imagine, a source like this completely lacks transparency as there is zero information to be found about authors, owners, location, or mission.

My friends talk about visiting their folk with a plexiglass in between them. We have become an entire nation of prisoners.

It happened to my sister this year. Her husband came by every day until he couldn’t.

Back in August when my dad was really bad my mom was almost in hysterics because they wanted to send him to a nursing home.

I told her that he was not going to a nursing home, that the reason we had bought the home we did was so if it became necessary they could move in with us.

It was not necessary this time and he is doing much better but they now know they will always have a place to go no matter what.

I was shocked that she had not known that already.
