My Grandmother (89 years old) was released back to her nursing home Monday having seemingly recovered from COVID, but overnight Tuesday took a bad turn and is now in Hospice. There was a lot of deception from the Nursing home but it's now come to light they are number 2 in my state for deaths as out of 97 residents, 7 have passed away from COVID.
Speaking with her nurse and asking about whether they had PPE available for visitors so I could come see her I got an earful about how of course they have PPE, the fake news has it all wrong. She went on about how all these old folks just needed to be outside and they would have been fine. Heard about how 7 deaths out of 97 residents are "great odds!" and that these old folks had cormorbidities (my grandmother doesn't other than mild dementia) and that they would have died anyways (aren't we all dying?).
I can't imagine where she got these talking points. And I certainly can't imagine why they had a breakout there. Sounds like they were taking it very seriously.
I expect there will be lawsuits.
