Her nursing home, she realized, was owned by the same company struggling to curtail a rising death toll in Kirkland, Washington. Mayberry began to dread what would happen if coronavirus swept through her building. Soon after this discovery, her facility in Bellflower, California, instituted a lockdown in March, barring all visitors to try to keep the disease out. Mayberry spent her days alone in her room.

— Linda May 22, 2020 The first positive case had been confirmed well into the facility's lockdown so Mayberry was convinced that a staff member had unknowingly brought it to the facility. And as they went room to room treating patients like her, she worried they continued to spread it.

In northern Alberta a care home that had covid19 deaths this week has been declared Covid free

She should’ve called her local Newspaper

Don't worry relax!! Don't fear!!

Yup instead we locked down the healthy and let the elderly die it was a terrible job by governors in those states.

Sad

The USA is the world’s Florida

Blame Democrat governors for all those deaths. Fredo should ask big brother some tough questions.

Ugh. My 1st job was in a nursing home - mid 60's. difficult place to be or work for sure. Mom died in one. Thanks for sharing that article!!

6000 elderly dead so I guess Cuomo didnt get the memo.

Yea, you guys should go into further depth about democrat leadership and why NH are death camps and “shutdown” opponents like me wanted resources focused on these groups from day one. Shutdowns are political stunts that don’t work.

We should make Turkish to stop this

Because the Democrats controlled the states that sent COVID patients to the most vulnerable population. Psssst, Democrats want you dead. You are just a drain on the collective good.

Follow this account for all the cops that are getting arrested

You can thank Cuomo for that and the rest of the Democrats

Such a shame, what poor leadership does but one can have humor on TV. Speaking of one of the disgraced BLUE States New York! It made me sick to know all those elderly people died and to not have family there. It was totally disregarded by Governor Cuomo as oh well elderly. KARMA

Too bad andrewcuomo didn't see them before he turned nursing homes into death camps
