I've updated the article from the original. Based on the age of the deceased who I know, it appears that the death rate is 80% above normal. So we have a problem. This may be why they aren't returning my calls. Do you think?

As an ex-LTC nurse who quit when the pandemic was announced, I can guess loneliness and the will to live on top of the other given reasons contributed. In our local facility patients were kept to their rooms for the first ? Months, no activities or meals together, no visitors allowed and nurses had to wear gowns, gloves, masks and face shields constantly. You have no idea how much a warm smile and human contact can lift their spirits and give them a reason to go on living!!

Add some poisonous experiment and lowered immune system…. BAM.

Very sad.
