More than eight months into the pandemic, the very isolation that is meant to protect nursing home residents from Covid-19 is also contributing to their deaths. Confined to their rooms and largely cut off from visitors, many residents are experiencing serious mental and physical decline. Three women stand up to fight for leniency in New York state visitation policies, in the hopes of saving their loved ones.

The Hidden Covid-19 Crisis: Elderly People Are Dying From Isolation | NBC News
Thats so sad honestly wtc
Fly
It have a machine to leave for every get young
It’s heartbreaking that people are social distancing thanks to that weapons of mass destruction disease ðŸ¦ÂÂ
Social distance is heart breaking to elderly people
Cuz the elderly are stupid anyways they need to die off
Isolation probably killed more seniors than the actual virus.
The world is turning into a prison camp. A big testing center to facilitate human experimentation.
Biden administration killing family relationships one day at a time.
I'm 64 years old and I'll go walk off into the wilderness I have roamed for 40 years or more BEFORE I ever go into a nursing home. They wouldn't want me there anyway I'd be having wheelchair races and who can throw the rolls the farthest in the dining room. I've always been a little wild…
This is still going on. I visited my Mom yesterday. I am beyond angry right now. March 26 2021
This pandemic is bull crap! It has to end soon
Thanks to the CCP and Governor Cuomo.
What is the difference between the nurse touching her and the family?
The nurse is not even wearing gloves👀
absolutely evil to deny family members to be together, but nursing home staff clearly don’t seem to be social distancing. depression due to isolation is much more deadly than Covid
Thanks a lot, China
Everyone's suggestion is to bring them home. MK. what about the person's spouse who is the same age trying to take care of themselves but unable to take care of their wife or husband who's in the home? They miss them. They visit them and this video includes them. Their hearts are breaking too.
Smh, people always got something to say.
Why are these people wearing masks?
No need to do the isolation. Just keep at least 2 metres away from another people in society. Wear your own mask and wash your hands with soap.
It would be kinder to overdose them on Fentenal.
I am med POA for a friend in a PA nsg. home, for 8 months there was NOT ONE case of COVID then they gave flu shots to all the staff and patients and now they have almost 40 cases. COVID SCAM!

So utterly sad omg ðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂ
Let me visit my mother. I don't care if I bring Covid to others. I just want to see my mommy.
nursing homes spread alot of covid. comparable to just having them at home, even with children who may spread it

THis needs to be played on a big screen in front of the CMS building, AHCA building, Sentor's offices, Governor's mansion. Can it be edited for 1 minute clips?
I hope no one has to endure this mental and emotional torture! It is truly one of the most helpless feelings to have experienced and I wish this on no one!!!! It’s sad when a growing majority of elderly would rather get the virus than to die of loneliness and isolation. No quick trips to target, Walmart, gas station…. most confined to room. The governor of each state lays the rules for nursing homes guidelines and then good look getting it in writing or not getting the “run aroundâ€ÂÂ. Also, ensure licensing standards are upheld if possible (ie trip hazards in rooms) bc unintentional accidents of elderly are still extremely dangerous!
My dad was on Hospice he passed 4 month s ago now mom is on hospice seasons hospice try to put them both in because I was so wore out respite care I guess all the put people in it's the caregiver needs respite I told them no because I would never see them again I have no help from family
You're noticing now? This was an issue since March! Hidden? You're nuts.
I just watched this video. Shaken to my core that human beings would do this to other human beings. This is evil in its purest form isolating family members based on pure lies. Psychopaths do not have a conscious, and do not care about your family. You order followers need to STOP! Allow these family members to visit. You very well no this so call corona virus is a lie.!!!!.. I agree with the speaker…WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.??? Wake up, you are being lied to!!!
This is why you don't put you elderly in what's basically a fancy cage because you don't want to deal with them. Unless they need a nurse to care for them for medical reasons 24 hours a day don't go locking them up. Ive been to several homes and most the elderly there I see are just there because they couldn't live on their own anymore and most of them always say the same story, my family never comes to see me or they rarely visit me. We went to one as a field trip in middle school to go entertain them and left a good bit crying and hugging us because we actually used a field trip to just go hang with them when their own children do not go see them. Stop putting the elderly in homes because you don't want to pay them back for raising you.
MORE LIKE HIDDEN BS!…HOSPITALS FAKING COVID PATIENTS, RAKING IN MILLIONS….MOB MEDIA, BIG TECH CENSORSHIP!…..FILTHY RICH DEMS GOING TO HAWAII WHILE POOR FOLKS WAIT ON NANCY FOR HANDOUTS!….
Cuomo put COVID patients in nursing homes with the most vulnerable, resulting in death.
Your not the only one living with sorrow
Tne new Nazi pandemic, believe & be deceived.
Yes one of the many reasons we are suffering from crimes against humanity
My grandma just passed away two weeks ago randomly one night in a nursing home none of the family has seen her in person for 9 months because of the virus. I think not being able to see her stressed her out
RIP GRAMPS💙
Praying for you all, so sad and heartbreaking, family needs family!
My mom was hospitalized with a stroke, by the time she got out she didn't recognize any of her children.
I am in tears
So demonic . how can this be happening. Cruel. I hope those making these rules experience the same .the isolation the fear the loneliness
Seems in a family member brings a clean mask, face shield, gown and gloves and shoe covers, they could meet in a special meeting space.
This is gonna be a Civil War moment, these people who lost their family members I can’t imagine then going back to work and working alongside somebody who doesn’t shut up about it being a hoax
Are they going to count all the people who die from cancer for years from now because they didn’t get early detection, are they going to count all the people that commit suicide from depression, are they going to count all the people who Die from strokes and heart attacks at home because they didn’t call 911 because they thought if they went to the hospital they would get coronavirus and die, people are going to go to jail for what’s happening right now, more people are dying from the consequences of mismanaged government than the actual coronavirus itself. There will be a reckoning, I thank God my dad died before this started,
