I went to see a COVID+ resident at another outbreak site and asked how she was doing. “I am so lonely. I have no one to talk to.” After I finished examining her, she begged me, “Please don’t leave, I’m so lonely.” 1/

Normally these folks socialize in the facilities’ dining halls and activity areas, visit with families and friends, paint and make music and play cards, and live full and happy lives. They are loved and cherished. 2/

Thanks to the @UCPCaucus and their useless “recommendations” and wink-wink “personal responsibility,” allowing this virus to flourish in the community, we have let our elderly folks languish in isolation for NINE MONTHS and condemned many of them to death. 3/

And one of the worst parts? Knowing that if she was healthy enough to be crying about being lonely, she was one of the lucky ones. 😭 @jkenney their blood is on your hands. You have done too little, too late. #FireTheUCP #abpoli
