Being in a nursing home sucks, but being in one without visitors is prison. It’s a quality of life issue. But these nursing homes are scared of lawsuits, so they restrict visitors while their residents endure what has to be a lonely bitter existence. I think most would want visitors, and risk getting sick, than inevitably die alone.

The entire response to this has just been complete nonsense. Hospitals were never overwhelmed. The death rate for anyone under 50 is insignificant relative to any other flu. At some point sanity needs to take over. The concept of preventing cases is simply not feasible nor warranted. Most people have gotten the flu in their life at some point, and it’s not a big deal. The same thing will happen with this.

Did you know the average age of death for Covid is older than the average age of general death. That should tell you this is nothing important. It kills off people that have already lived longer than normal.
