I'm hearing that people are sending cards and care packages to these facilities. I certainly hope not!!! Please leave your germs at home no matter how well intended. The gesture if lovely, but a big NO NO!!! I hope the nursing homes are turning them

All grandparents should 10 acres of land to pass down to their children. Every bodies land is required to grow fruits and or vegetables in order to keep home. If kids wont live with grandparents, grandparents can hire a maid or young family to help take care of home while raising their family. Problem solved.

We are learning from hospitals that the virus can travel on shoes. Some countries have started treating patients at home because of this. It could explain what happens in these facilities as well.

2 months ago they could have shut down those nursing homes! This was mismanagement plain and simple.

I don't care what peoples say how in the Hell those elderly contract covid19 when they are already in a quarantine facility? Social distance should not be a problem they have their own rooms.
