Something I Miss a Lot About the Covid Shutdown

My MIL spent her last 3 weeks alive in the hospital with congestive heart failure (no covid). We were told she was doing well, but since she wasn't dying so we couldn't visit. Only those dying could have visits they said. We could only talk on the phone which didn't work well since they lost her hearing aids after being there only a few days.

We took her to the hospital ER directly from her doctors office who had called notifying she was on her way. My SIL went into ER with her with all of the insurance & other information that was needed, but they didn't want to listen to her & told her to get out of the ER. Whoever she was dealing with didn't even ask who the point of contact would be for their mom. Yes, they really did kick my SIL out of the ER & left a 90 yo woman who wasn't feeling well to do it all herself without family help.

When we didn't hear anything from the hospital so my SIL called the hospital & was told they couldn't give out any info because they didn't have a point of contact. After a few transfers, she was lucky to get ahold of the nurse who was taking vitals on my MIL when she arrived & remember my SIL. This nurse updated the computer with contact info.

All the reports from staff we received was that she was stable with no serious problems . Then on a Wednesday morning my SIL was told via phone to make arrangments for a nursing home because her mom was dying & she couldn't stay any longer. OMG, we were in shock to say the least. I still feel & have no doubt they knew she was dying all along, but lied to us because then we would have been allowed to visit.

No nursing homes were taking anyone in & there were at home nurses available. We turned to the local hospice which was a God send. That same Wednesday in the afternoon, everything we needed for was delivered & set up.

The hospital kicked her out at 9 PM that night. Hospice transported her along with their nurse. Thursday her kids stayed with her. Friday morning the nurse (had the same lady the entire time) told us it wouldn't be long & made arrangements for her to go to hospice that afternoon. She passed early on Saturday morning.

This is just one story of many of what took place during this $hit Show. No one in charge will ever be held accountable for what they did. But many other people have paid the price for those decisions.

JUST THINK OF THIS ... How many people were denied medical treatment & medical tests which resulted in their deaths? We probably won't ever learn the numbers of people who died because of failure to receive proper medical treatment because of the lockdown.

This is a sad story, but at least you did find the hospice. Really "a God send".

The politicians should be held accountable, but in my country it's the same. Even now, after the publication of our "Covid files", which revealed that there were solely political but not any medical reasons, that lead to the decisions, nobody of these politicians is interested in the analysis of the decisions and drawing of conclusions from them, not to mention any liability.

In my opinion letting people die alone without their loved ones was a horrendous crime.

Yeah, better to let the healthy ones come in and 'cross their fingers' right? Maybe they'll be lucky and not catch covid in that Petri dish of disease. Or at the least, they'll be familiar with where they'll have to go when they catch covid.

Personally, when I'm sick, the last thing I want is to have to visit with anyone and if I'm sick enough to be dying, triple that sentiment. And if I can know that my husband or kids aren't going to be taking a chance on catching some disease that is killing millions around the world, then so much the better.
