Virus-Thoughts at Large

Nursing Homes in the Pandemic:

I was afraid to read another sentence in this incredible, horrifying and life altering but spectacular Investigative reporting by The NY Times on Race and Nursing homes in America during this pandemic.

The surrender , tolerance and acceptance that Black life as a resident/patient in a nursing home during the pandemic was worthless and forgettable to the nursing home operators/owners and ultimately the government was shocking and extremely disturbing!

Every nursing home in America that has majority demographics of both Black residents and staff should be shuttered ASAP by state governments .

There should be immediate testing and removal of all patients in nursing homes  where the virus has left a body count.

Civil and Criminal lawsuits should be filed not just against the nursing homes but also any government agency that licensed nursing homes and had oversight.

I have never read such a ‘real time’ state of reporting that disclosed such inhumane conditions in any facility and setting providing healthcare services in America.

I hope every attorney general in every state of America reads this reporting and without any hesitation intervene in this killing field we call nursing homes in America

Every family that has a family member, relative , friend and employee of any nursing home in America should rush to that nursing home ASAP to check on the person before the Virus strikes!!
