Joanne Miles Thomas looks through a screened window at her father, George Miles Sr., a resident at a facility in Rochester, N.Y., on Oct. 10.The moment that Tammy Roberg stepped off the elevator, she could hear her father’s booming voice.
When the pandemic hit, long-term care facilities across the country, including Copperfield Hill, shut their doors to visitors and largely kept residents to their rooms, suspending most group activities and communal meals to protect residents from Covid-19. Peske was hard of hearing, so phone calls were a struggle. Roberg’s only lifeline to her father was the staff of the facility, who reassured her that he was doing well.
He still had no coronavirus symptoms — he was just withdrawn, according to Roberg and an administrator at Copperfield Hill. Roberg was hopeful that he would bounce back with more hands-on attention from the facility. But four days later, on June 2, she got another call: She should come right away. Her father was dying.
Social isolation was listed as a contributing cause of death for at least nine other Minnesotans — almost all long-term care residents — from June to September, according to state death records; no deaths in the previous two years cited social isolation as a cause.

SuzyKhimm National security nightmare of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop containing phone numbers for the Clintons, Secret Service officers and most of the Obama cabinet plus his sex and drug addictions - all secured by the password Hunter02.
SuzyKhimm After having worked in nursing homes and assisted living places, I was always acutely aware of the depression that most went through. Now there is nothing and no one to keep them looking forward to another day. Saddened. More casualties because of a heartless leader.
SuzyKhimm SO many have foreseen this and warned. All the 'experts' that have enforced this absurd policy must be held accountable, it is they who have this blood on their hands. Orders AND order followers. End it.
SuzyKhimm Lockdowns are evil. The goal of life is not simply to stay alive.
SuzyKhimm I guess Cuomo will get them one way or another
SuzyKhimm If you can, rescue your parents from their nursing homes.
SuzyKhimm This is not a hidden crisis. We’ve literally been talking about the negative effects of the lockdowns since March...
SuzyKhimm These deaths don't matter...only covid ones...people are pathetic and have no clue what balance of life is. Dr Atlas my kids are relying on you to have the right of education and freedom, the freedom to play with their friends, laugh, sing in church!
SuzyKhimm This isn’t from Covid. It’s from the overreaction to Covid. A tragedy that government officials need to be held accountable for.
SuzyKhimm My biggest fear for my father with Alzheimer’s COVID
SuzyKhimm Illinois high school kids arent doing so hot either. GovPritzker refuses to let healthy kids go to school and play sports! Missed life opportunities, missed scholarships, total depression! The guy who never made a team in his life doesn’t want anybody else to either! LetUsPlay
SuzyKhimm Thank you for finally admitting this. Oh, what’s that? Just six days from the election? Weird timing.
SuzyKhimm not hidden. some of us have been talking about the lockdown deaths for 6 months. overdoses, suicides, alcohol deaths not to mention the psychological damage for a generation. glad you're finally waking up.
SuzyKhimm Insanity. This is a LOCKDOWN crisis, not a coronavirus crisis. Let people make their own choices! Stop pushing a “cure” that is worse than the disease.
SuzyKhimm No shit Sherlock.
DrJanesDC SuzyKhimm Give me one day with my family over 1 year left alone
SuzyKhimm A result of you spreading lies and fear.
SuzyKhimm The isolation is evil. Why are we going along with this? It’s not life.
SuzyKhimm Which is what you get for trusting the government to handle things for you.
SuzyKhimm Good Morning Mr. President TODAY’S US COVID19 DEATHS is 232,101 You can IGNORE the DAILY Moms, Dads & Kids Body Counts caused by YOUR INCOMPETENCE in directing the world’s most powerful Government’s Crisis Response! Sadly they are gone & can no longer speak out... However WE CAN

SuzyKhimm People 'are dying of isolation?' Hmmm...
SuzyKhimm Imagine spending your last of 98 years alone in a small room with no friends or family until you die of depression because people decided to politicize a virus and tell you they're doing it for you.
SuzyKhimm The media should be covering this up and not reporting on it. It steers voters away from the left. Compliance by the public will be mandatory going forward.
SuzyKhimm Why Trump don’t give his treatment to these elderly right now?

I worked in an assisted living facility and immediately saw mental decline in my elderly residents. The staying in their rooms. Meal time altered. No visitors and no group activities. The decline was sharp and quick
So very sad.
Wow. Who would have thought?
We took our mother home after 2 months social isolation. She cried of happiness when we brought her home.
Another Trump tragedy resulting in American casualties.
Duh
I was in Hospital 5 days to confirm whether I had blood infection(ended up being Septic Bladder infection). I aged 7 years in reaction time.
That's what happens when you refuse to control the virus and let elderly people just fend for themselves.
SuzyKhimm Trumps AmeriKKKa
SuzyKhimm WicMar when someone said Sweden has no lockdown, they don't acknowledge the elderly existence.
SuzyKhimm
SuzyKhimm Not a day goes by that I don't miss mom and dad. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God they aren't alive during this insanity.
SuzyKhimm In case you forgot what JoeBiden has said in the past...here’s the tape! lyinbiden
SuzyKhimm Can’t have it both ways. Let their loved ones in. It’s a crapshoot anyway. I’m sure they would rather have the company than live a few days more.
SuzyKhimm Umm... You know this has been a thing the whole time. Like Quebec had to call in the military at one point. Not to take away from the seriousness of the problem but this has been going on for years.
SuzyKhimm I’m terrified that’ll happen to my mom. She’s lost weight since last February. She doesn’t understand why I can’t stay with her overnight anymore, and now why I can’t visit her more than once a week. (I was her overnight caregiver until her facility abruptly went

SuzyKhimm It’s not hidden. JoeBiden selling a dark dark winter, running a dear campaign and just laps it up 🐶
SuzyKhimm Heartbreaking
SuzyKhimm If the fed gov’t had been strict & universally shut the country down in the beginning & actively mandated masks & used its power to get wider testing available quicker to all states it would not have come to this. It would have been a painful 1-2 months. Criminal Negligence
SuzyKhimm Check yourself before making a corny joke or taking a cheap shot at a Democrat or Republican over this issue. Thank you NBC for raising awareness. This is just horrible.
SuzyKhimm Dear DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDANTS AND REPUBLICANS WHO SUPPORT OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR 🇺🇸, DECENCY, HONOUR/RESPECT OUR VETERANS/SOLDIERS, RESPECT RULE OF LAW, RESPECT WOMEN AND.. ''ARE AGAINST LIES, DECEIT, CORRUPTION, LEADERSHIP WHICH GIVES UP ON US'', VOTE NOW!! VOTE TODAY!! PLEASE!!!
SuzyKhimm Theres REALLY something WRONG with GOVERNMENTS that Lockdowns Most Public but ALLOWS FUSSBALL SOCCER PLAYERS TO JUST PLAY BALL LIKE NOTHINGS GOING ON..?! IS THIS A NECESSITY..? NO. DoubleStandards WRONG on all accounts.., What makes SPORTS PEOPLE ABOVE THE REST OF US?
SuzyKhimm My mother lives in a small town in rural Georgia. In The Nursing Home where she lives 29 of the 74 residents have died from COVID. So, isolation may not be good, but Covid is a killer.
SuzyKhimm I'm sure Andrew Cuomo would love to comment on this.
SuzyKhimm While there is no official tally of elderly people dying from causes linked to social isolation, evidence is mounting that restrictions related to Covid-19 are taking a toll on their health, according to recent research and interviews with experts and families across the US (2/8)
SuzyKhimm vote for biden
SuzyKhimm You forgot to cover this story
SuzyKhimm 100%! lost my mother-in-law in August and my Aunt in July all because of isolation. Neither had COVID.
SuzyKhimm So you’ll report on this but you won’t call out the States that put COVID positive patients in the nursing homes that cost thousands of lives?
SuzyKhimm A reminder, this shit was going to always exist, but be made worse, by the 'Swedish' (let dumdums spread plague and call it a plan) model. The only old people that get to avoid this are in the White House.
SuzyKhimm We need to look at ourselves as a society. Why do we send our elderly loved ones to these profits focused institutions? I know we are all busy and strapped but there has to be a better way.
SuzyKhimm So very sad.
SuzyKhimm Did you get permission from the Trump campaign to post this
Quicker, lesser lasting vaccines probably need to emerge for many viral dangers.
