Craving the kiss of death?

�Protected them to death�: Elder-care COVID rules under fire

Barbara and Christine Colucci long to remove their masks and kiss their 102-year-old mother, who has dementia and is in a nursing home in Rochester, New York. They would love to have more than two people in her room at a time so that relatives can be there too.

�We don�t know how much longer she�s going to be alive,� Christine Colucci said, �so it�s like, please, give us this last chance with her in her final months on this earth to have that interaction.�

Pandemic restrictions are falling away almost everywhere � except inside many of America�s nursing homes. Rules designed to protect the nation�s most vulnerable from COVID-19 are still being enforced even though 75% of nursing home residents are now vaccinated and infections and deaths have plummeted.

Frustration has set in as families around the country visit their moms and, this Father�s Day weekend, their dads. Hugs and kisses are still discouraged or banned in some nursing homes. Residents are dining in relative isolation and playing bingo and doing crafts at a distance. Visits are limited and must be kept short, and are cut off entirely if someone tests positive for the coronavirus.

Family members and advocates question the need for such restrictions at this stage of the pandemic, when the risk is comparatively low. They say the measures are now just prolonging older people�s isolation and accelerating their mental and physical decline.

�They have protected them to death,� said Denise Gracely, whose 80-year-old mother, Marian Rauenzahn, lives in a nursing home in Topton, Pennsylvania.

This might not mean red voters don't get shots. It could mean, red counties have lovely vaccine rollouts to vulnerable populations.

Crazypoops posted:

What kind of fucks me up is that there are a significant amount of people masked up and how much faith in the leadership and CDC is loving gone now.

Liked there's a media blitz to open Biden and it feels like it only worked on half the population.

I guess that's all part of being in a failed state though.

What's loving me up is that I'm starting to run into places where there's literally zero mask usage among employees even with all or the vast majority of customers wearing masks.

Yeah. It's totally normal for a 19 year old to develop shingles a week after they got vaxxed.

I have psoriasis and have had a killer flare up since my shots. The Dermatologist also told me she�s had many cases like mine.

Delta-Wye: Sep 29, 2005

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-director-warns-delta-variant-dominant-coronavirus-strain/story?id=78354918&cid=social_twitter_abcn

quote:

The CDC is concerned about the delta variant mutating to a point where it evades the existing COVID-19 vaccines, according to Walensky.

"That's really what we're actively trying to prevent, which is why we're really encouraging people to get vaccinated," she said. "I will say, as worrisome as this delta strain is with regard to its hyper-transmissibility, our vaccines work. Right now, they are working and they require actually two doses or to be fully vaccinated to work. So I would encourage all Americans to get your first shot and when you're for your second, get your second shot and you'll be protected against this delta variant."

ive been crack pinging about this since late last year. both good/bad to see the cdc catching up :coronatoot:
