I got the Covid

[Dftodd]

About as well thought out as a gov that filled nursing homes with COVID patients!!

Exactly. Although there is a grey area there and really depends on state laws. If the nursing home sends them to the hospital for treatment, they are technically supposed to take them back.

There are exceptions, but those are usually limited to the ability to provide care. For example behavior issues may require a psych ward or lock down unit, or the patient requires something medical thats out of the scope of what the facility can provide.

Another exception is if the patient was actually discharged from the nursing facility to the hospital. Then the nursing facility is not required to take the patient back. But certain requirements need to be met for a discharge.

My wifes nursing home will except current patients back from the hospital if they are infected and were sent out for treatment. They also take care of their patients that contracted covid.

Any new patients are automatically isolated till they test negative twice for the virus. But they aren't taken care of by the nurses that are taken care of the covid patients.

I am often one of the first to be guilty of thread drift but we have a member here who is sharing his personal experience with this virus.

I think this is not an appropriate thread to express personal opinions on the seriousness (or lack thereof) that Covid presents. JMHO

Hang in there Eddie & Mrs. Eddie.

Hope you get well Eddy. Nothing to mess around with. Goes without saying take care of you and your wife first, worry about everything else afterwards.

I was pretty much COVID free without knowing anyone personally who came down with it until this past week.

Wifes uncle, at 89 came up with it 3 days ago. He's in the hospital and we're getting updates from his daughter in Maryland. Woman from our church got it like 5 days ago, and apparently it's hit her hard in the hospital with her being on a respirator (she's in her 50's).

I just learned that our 31 year old grandson was diagnosed with covid yesterday. I knew that some of his coworkers had it, and he, his wife, and 2 little ones were here for an early Christmas a week ago.

Holding my breath waiting for the all clear from you Mr. Bird!

Yep, me too. That should be Jan.2, right?

And Moss, I would venture a guess very few people on this forum has ANY trust for WAPO!

You'd be guessing wrong. While WaPo definitely has a left bias in their opinion pieces, and they definitely hate Trump, they actually rate very highly for factual reporting in their news articles.

That is a common problem now....knowing the difference between opinion and news.

.. there is the American mentality of not learning from past mistakes.....

We're still learning from 2020 .. "or are we". Among our freedoms is selective belief. A 'bias' can only spin things so far off-center from the facts.

Eddie & Karen, I hope you find some entertainment in our banter. My fear is that you might lose patience with not 'being just you' yet as this drags on.

It could be over-working (I guess it wouldn't take much ) or guilt from high-hoping that speedy recovery we wish for you both. There are many stresses. Any of them can delay recovery.

Eddie, I pray you can be chill and be strong for Karen until you're both back on your feet. I wish I could do more somehow. jon

Definitely. Editorial opinion VS news facts.

I worked at a newspaper for 30 years. We were consistently ranked as a neutral paper, right down the middle of the road. They were very good about that.
