4. Family member works in a nursing home

He just had Covid. Now he's back at work. There was a hearse at the front door this morning when he went into work. The nursing home dining room is full of the possessions of residents who died. There is no where else to put them since family members can't come in to retrieve them.Their family members were not able to see their loved ones for the last month due to quarantine and now the family members are dead. Half the staff also has Covid.
I have heard people I formerly respected talk about how Covid was fake, and they didn't personally know anyone who had it. They should visit a nursing home . They did not have enough PPE, but they tried to keep it out with many different measures.When you work with the sick elderly, you expect death, but not this. It is devastating.
