From the
beginning of the CV pandemic it became the mantra for those at risk
Over 65,
preexisting conditions and compromised immune systems for those a great danger
would exist
Yet despite
the warnings that one cannot believe we did not see
A small
defined segment of our population fell to the CV killing spree
Latest
reports are that 42 percent of the CV deaths strike .6 percent of our population
that in ADL’s and nursing homes live
Residents
largely confined to the facility and not likely to be in public to the disease
to others give
Based on defective
models that showed over 2 million dead
We shut our
economy almost totally down and not focusing on the most vulnerable instead
In fact in
New York, New Jersey, and Michigan Blue governors made the situation worse
Hospitals
ordered to discharge CV positive seniors to ADLs and nursing homes to infect
residents with deadly CV curse
Hearing the
mantra Florida on hospitals took a far different tack
Refused to
allow sending of CV positive patients to nursing homes and ADLs where virus
spreading prevention they lacked
Stopped
visitors and sent PPE for staff in nursing homes and ADLs to rise in death stop
in its tracks
Even started
reopening shutdown economy to start to bring prosperity back
We
sacrificed the best economy in the world and failed to protect our most
vulnerable .6 percent
Now the
other 99.4 percent and most Reds want on continuing shutdowns the governors to
relent
The longer
the economy is shutdown and the jobless grow by the millions each week
The more
those not in nursing homes in frustration will suicide, substance and domestic
abuse and crime seek
No more
fingers casting on Trump and the Blue
governors for the shutdowns blame
Reopen while
we still have businesses to get back into recovery game.
