23 new cases of the covid I am so sick of this s*** I haven't seen my dad in person since March 90 year old Korean War Air Force vet

Saw my dad today for the first time since probably February.

Sorry to hear that. Wife’s grandmother died last month and we hadn’t seen her since Christmas. Luckily, my MIL was able to visit with her the week she passed.

I saw him about a month ago through window with the phone since the cases has ramped up not letting them do that they're keeping them locked in their room

This week in the ER we have really ramped up on testing and positive results. I don’t know if it’s the weather change, the people getting allergy infections, or what. It is pretty scary, and I’ve pretty much decided we will all have it before it’s all said and done. Most positive patients have less symptoms than the common flu. One of the nurses and I were trying to decide if we would rather have the flu Or Covid… We both decided we would rather have Covid due to the lesser symptoms that we see. We wear PPE and masks at all times, even around one another when no patients present. None of the staff has tested positive or had any symptoms since this started. I’ve been in many patient rooms with just my surgical mask, gloves, and goggles... I know the mask works. Take it off and hang out with some positive patients and you’ll believe me. Lol!

Sucks!

I hope their looking out for the best interest of your Father.

Its not right.

The propaganda around this virus is insane. Australia had zero cases of flu this season..but lots of covid...The politics of this is awful, the things we are allowing ourselves to be subjected to is ridiculous. My dad died in the Bonham VA in 2018 and I have nothing but praise for the girls that cared for him. But if we were in this time, I would probably be in jail. I would get in there no matter what even if I went to jail after. The poor man didn't recognize his own wife of 45 years but knew me and he would not die thinking I abandoned him. Thank God I didn't have to force that issue.

You walk in there and ask them how corona is getting in if they are on lockdown..

Their only possible response is workers.

You then tell them that you are willing to wear the same PPE these infectors were wearing when it got brought in.

Prayers sent!

My dad passed away in June and we had not seen him since the 1st week of March.

We could not even see him when he was in the ICU on his death bed.

Heartbreaking

Couldn’t you just go there and get your loved one and bring them home until all of this is over?

so sorry you are going through all of this, and sorry for those who have lost loved ones. prayers sent

Here's an actual case breakdown on 1854 patients in our county that we've been tracking. Only 3% have had severe symptoms and only 1% were hospitalized. And I believe we've had 2 deaths, but don't quote me on that.

You can check your family out of the nursing home anytime you so choose.
