This sounds like a psycho horror movie plot. Can you contact some news agency and tell them what's going on? Given that you have enough proof to show of course, this should be investigated if you believe he's absolutely being mishandled.

I actually hadn't thought about that. But given that the media is all about pushing the "Coronavirus is dangerous and we must protect the vulnerable," I can't see them wanting to cover my dad's story. edit: The reason my dad's being mishandled is because of fear. Everyone is in a panic and they are trying to look like they are protecting him and the general public. The guidelines that have been enacted (isolation, which is how they punish prisoners due to the negative psychological consequences, not letting him go to the doctor for a pain shot, not letting him get out of bed, which is causing muscle atrophy, not letting him take his psoriasis drugs, causing sores all over his body, etc) are doing more harm than good. The convalescent and assisted living facilities are simply "following the guidelines." I guess we need to demand a re-evaluation of the definition of what "for your own protection" means, and who gets to make that determination.

Yes a lot of the media is that way but isn't Fox the opposite?

I honestly don't know. I gave up on main stream news years ago, and I figure out what MSM is saying from my friends/family who parrot back what their favored news station told them to think. Now that you mention it, now that we are in lock-down and I am not dealing with many people.... I don't think any of them are Fox fans.
