Google it.
I didn't like what I found. Being a healthcare worker is pretty dangerous these days
Darkoz, I get your point. But when countries say their nursing homes weren’t “locked down” what they mean is family and visitors were still coming to the nursing homes, and at that time nobody was wearing any PPE.
It’s pretty easy to see why under these conditions old folks in nursing homes were falling like flies.
Today, the conditions are much different. No visitors are allowed in nursing homes and the healthcare workers wear PPE. As our country “opens up” that will continue, so keeping our country in lockdown mode or opening it up will have no impact on people in nursing homes.
Btw, you seem like a fairly reasonable mild manner liberal. You don’t meet many of those these days. Most are raging lunatics like Kj, or potheads like accountinquestion.
Do you smoke any weed like your fellow liberal, accountinquestion? I think right now he’s our No. 1 pothead on this site.
I am a terribly addictive personality and have known that since I was small. I could never get enough of toys and sweets and playing pinball. I am even still addicted to chef boyardee eating several cans a month. Can't get enough. A fifty one year old who hasn't been able to break a chef boyardee addiction since childhood. That's me!
Interestingly, as a result, I am not addicted to most of the sins.
No weed ever
No cigarettes ever
No illicit drugs ever
No alcohol ever
And seriously concerned the few times I took heavy prescribed painkillers (I have passed a few kidney stones).
I was always too fearful of becoming easily addicted so never got addicted.
Perhaps sex which came naturally
As for gambling even that I feared. First time I went to a casino was at 27 years old. Had no interest or intention to gamble. Took a bus to Foxwoods to go on a bunch of virtual reality rides (I don't think they are even there anymore and yes I happen to be addicted to amusement parks as well) Not knowing how it worked they handed me $10 table coupon. I said what the hell, might as well throw it on something. Went to the big six wheel (usual stop for newbie ploppies) and won ten bucks. So bet again. Went up and down a bit but ended up winning about $80. Had to catch my return bus.
Came back the next week. Of course, not for those virtual reality rides.
Like I said, I am easily addictive.
