We did this as standard rule to all family- If you're sick dont visit this week. If your kids have runny noses keep them in the car. This is SOP during flu season but also a standing rule. So why are they now talking about it like they invented a new idea. Boggles my mind.<br />Gov Cuomo moving covid patients into Nursing homes was a horrible, if not criminal idea.<br />There will always be the debate of at what point is a life worth saving in re: the aged population. Personally dont think it should be, life is precious from start to finish.

Mark Perry would be the guy to put up a Venn diagram and color in the area of those with cognitive dissonance.

All other numbers/stats are mostly useless without that info.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00224636195402891161noreply@blogger.com
