We are torturing our elderly to death in nursing homes

"If you have a couple of years or a few months left, and no one can come to see you, and nobody can walk through your door, no friends, no children, no grandchildren, all you've got left is your TV. Everybody in the nursing home has their TV on, and all they're seeing is corona COVID we're all gonna die! Isolating people and scaring the hell out of them is beyond torture."  - Farm Manager

We have a 94 year old friend of the family who is in a nursing home. Saddest thing I've ever seen is a picture of him waving to his grandchildren outside. Lucky for him, he's got enough unemployed grandchildren and retired children that they're taking him home for the duration.

But what about the residents who don't have that support network?

Prisoners of war have more quality of life than they do.

There's got to be a better way.
