It has here in Virginia and 'most' other states as far as nursing/retirement facilities are concerned.


You reckon vaccinations of personnel had anything to do with that?

How, exactly, does one quarantine a person who needs daily care and assistance ? (Rhetorical question, Raeford).


For a year No ONE other than employees were allowed in in Virginia.This was pre-vaccine time[2020]

Employees were tested on a regular basis and wore masking that is actually effective.

The state had an issue in Richmond early in 2020 with nursing facilities but got a grip on it quickly and has had very, very few issues since.

Hence my stance since last summer: quarantine those that need quarantined.



If only all states had done that, Raeford.

Immediately following that Mardi Gras The Louisiana War Veterans Home in LaPlace, Louisiana (just outside of New Orleans) lost 17 good men residents in rapid fire succession to covid in the first wave,

So much of that could have been prevented had folks listened to President Trump.

Y’all did things a helluva lot better than most.
