Makes no sense in current climate.
This is one of the moral crises' of our current time. Had a grown man sobbing outside the lobby because he couldnt see his dying mom.
Write your representatives, do something.

Hospitals allow family inside at end of life situations.

One of the small rural hospitals in Missouri just instituted a no visitor policy. Today.
They’ve had 129 cases with 45k population in the county. 0 deaths.
All the cool kids are doing no visitors in the hospital.

The best example I’ve heard for our communication failure seeping into a policy failure is this ridiculous notion that we should be “social distancing”. It’s not social distance we need to combat this virus. It’s physical distance.
Physical distance can absolutely slow the spread, but we can be physically distant and remain socially close. In fact, in this heightened stress environment, we have an extra need to enhance our social closeness and strengthen our interpersonal bonds. We can do that while maintaining a physical distance. And hospitals can 100% embrace the social connection between their patients and those patients families while also maintaining physical distance between various peoples. Perhaps no group in society needs social closeness more than our sick and infirmed. Let’s stop creating bad policies that hurt them on the backs of our inability to communicate an appropriate response.

I agree with hospitals lifting those restrictions and would also like Supercuts to bring back the hot towel that they canceled because of the covid.

this is ridiculous make the person sign a waiver and let them be with their loved ones.
George and Lewis got 6 funerals tho...

This is what the maskers want. It's on their hands.

I’m bumping this. People are dying alone for no reason. Please write your state/local representatives if you’re in a state that has visitation restricted.

They would have to shoot me or knock me out to keep me from being at the side of a dying or suffering loved one. It would not end well for anyone trying to keep me from them, and probably wouldn't end well for me either...but those are the fricked up times we're living in.

As a paramedic, one of the worst things is having to tell patient's family they can't come with us b/c hospital won't let them in. As a matter of fact, we aren't allowed to have others outside the pt of course, in the ambulance.

And the rehab facilities. Since my SO went in (after a broken leg) I've seen her ONCE in four weeks, and that was when she was at the doctor's office for a follow-up visit. Her room is on an interior courtyard so I can't go up to her window and see her.
