What about the people who are in nursing homes, who died of something other than Covid, who have not had personal contact with a family member for the last 6 months.
Had 2 ex-neighbors die in the last month, neither from Covid, and both alone. In one case, even when on their deathbed, only one family member was allowed to visit at a time. The ironic thing, is the family gathered as a group outside their window, but could only visit one at a time in a private room, even though the victim had hours to live, at best.
Can anyone explain to me, how having 5 people clustered around a window, while one goes inside for a half hour, then that person switches with one of the other 5, versus having all 6 in there at once?
It would seem to me, if any of the 6 were infected, they all were going to get exposed, regardless, and to the other extreme, if all 6 were infected, IMO, they actually were a higher risk going one at a time, because the time it took for all 6 to come and go, involved 2 shift changes in the nursing department, meaning that more of the staff would have the potential for contact.
