While his situation is bad I don't see how you can be so callous about the safety of all the other people at the assisted care facility. They also have a right not to be put at risk, and their lives are on the line here. Just because your father was able to handle the virus well does not mean they would be able to, and it does not mean your father is not contagious. Those guidelines are in place precisely because people like you don't give a fuck about anyone else. All you are concerned about is your father and his needs; but of course, not enough to find alternative solutions.

If he is testing positive he should not be going back. It doesn't matter if you think it is safe. You don't know what you are talking about and are extremely biased.

This panic is a hoax.

The death rate is less than the flu.

This is an intentional PsyOp, and innocent people are suffering.

I don't know what to think about the virus itself, and I certainly agree that the severity of the virus/pandemic situation has been wildly overblown. They have taken away our civil liberties, put millions of people into permeant poverty, permanently closed many small businesses while making oligarchies like Amazon more powerful, devalued the dollar so even those of us still working have less purchasing power, and given away billions of dollars in tax funds to businesses that didn't need it/had a long history of irresponsible spending. All to prolong the lives of mostly old people, many of whom are like my dad and were ready to die before the pandemic ever began.

Not according to Gov Cuomo... He's claiming that this all voluntary. :-/

GOVERNOR CUOMO'S SHOCKING REVELATION: EVERYTHING IN LOCKDOWN IS VOLUNTARY!

Each and every politician who supported the quarantines should be personally sued for this plandemic.

Canbot, Show me some medical studies to support your opinion that my father is still contagious. I formed my viewpoint about his no longer being contagious from the CDC guidelines as they were presented to me by the convalescent home. If you have information that contradicts the CDC/convalescent home, please send it.

It's the CDC guidelines that say he can't go back. And I would bet you would purposfully misinterpret any guidelines in a way as to get the results you want.

Once again, if you SAY it's CDC guidelines and don't provide proof, all you are doing is spouting propaganda. If what you are saying is factual, you will be able to find the source of this fact. You are deliberately attempting to make me look like some bad guy bully because I am citing accurate CDC information and all you have is propaganda. I DARE YOU to prove me wrong with SOURCED FACTS.

The Assisted Living Facility is a chain. They have gone over and above CDC guidelines by a wide margin. And I totally understand why: the tests have proven to be inaccurate, the info out there is conflicting and seems to change daily, and without accurate tests/consistent info, they are terrified of a break-out in one of their facilities and being put out of business. They are erring in the side of caution to the extreme.

The nurse at the retirement community told me that CDC guidelines are different for assisted-living facilities than nursing homes, and that the Assisted Living Facility now requires not just one, but two consecutive negative tests, PERIOD.

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. Further confirming that I am 100% on the money about your character.

Smearing my character does not justify your lack of reading comprehension skills. Re-read the sentence. It says the nurse at the assisted living facility didn't specify what her guidelines are, she simply claimed they were DIFFERENT. Then she said that the ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY now requires two tests. The nurse never actually claimed the CDC requires two tests, though she attempted to imply it with the preface that the guidelines were not the same for convalescent and nursing.

And I am still waiting for you to cough up some verified facts, buddy. Don't even bother to play these propaganda games with me anymore. Bring some FACTS to the table before you comment again.
