The nursing home my wife works at bent the rules a bit. First they allowed visitors to sit outside the window of the resident’s room and crack the window to talk. Then later on, they allowed outdoor visits at a 6 foot round table.
They’ve had 35 residents get covid and two died but they were in pretty bad health to begin with and would have died if they’d have gotten the flu.
This family member in assisted living tested positive for the virus... twice. She is not in good health but she thought she just had a cold.. was not sick. No one was around her but the people who work there.
Her daughters did not tell her she tested positive .. she is a worrier... but evidently not everyone has a hard reaction to it..even with bad health.
