For the first time, Mercy Hospital allowed cameras into their ICUs and COVID floors. We are not allowed to show the faces of those suffering from symptoms. But we did speak with those healthcare workers taking care of them.

Why don't you do a segment on their policy of denying even one visitor to those with covid who are at risk of dying? As it was said on this segment, people are touching their loved ones for the last time when they drop them off. That is so inhumane.

As a physician working in an ER I can tell you there is no need for such a policy. The risk to the staff does not go up if one visitor is allowed to come back, even if covid +. There is a theoretical risk to the visitor if they are negative but 11 months in we should be able to provide them with ppe for that tragic situation.

Please do a segment on that. This is such a cruel and unnecessary policy.
