nursing homes.

I really feel for you, not being able to see your Dad in person. Maybe you should get him a smartphone so at least he will be able to Facetime or Zoom with the other members of your family. It isn't ideal, but it is better than no visiting at all.

Since this virus my dad has had to enter a home.  Now that the states are opening back up.  I don't understand why the homes cant reopen to visitors.  I think they can find a safe way to do this.  I mean like the court house takes your temp before entering and the staff is behind plexiglass.  The restaurants are open with limited seating.  They are coming up with crazy plans about opening schools.  By the way I hate those ideas.  I would hate to be a student and have to go to school like that.  Any back to the nursing homes.  I think they can find away to allow safe visits.  Other than talking on a cell phone through the window.  Put masks on go outside keep your distance.  I think it would do my Dad a world of good to see my Mom that way.

I am sorry you can't visit your Dad at this time.  But surely you understand that because of the age of some of the people, you aren't allowed inside.  Also a lot of people doesn't properly  stick to the 6 foot social distancing or wear a mask.

I know the nursing homes in my area have not had a problem but there is a veterans home that got hit pretty good on the other side of my town. I think about 10 people died from the virus up there.
