I am a hospice RN. As I visit out patients in nursing homes I have made some observations. Some of the residents are beginning to decline. One was put on active dying list. They allowed her daughter to visit. After 2 - 12 hour visits she is again alert and speaking.
Talking to the nurse on duty she was telling me about other patients who were active and are now not doing well. Not participating, rarely talking etc. These people are being depressed from neglect. Not from the staff, from what they feel is lack of family contact. Staff
Try to help. They do video visits with family but this is not a substitute for human contact with loved ones. Human contact is important for a healthy society as well. The elderly will just be the first casualties of quarantine. The quarentines
Need to come to an end soon. @realDonaldTrump is correct. The cure cannot be worse than the disease. This is not just for economics but for our health. As a nurse I have plenty of human contact with coworkers, patients, and family. The suffering I see in those
Who are being denied this and suffering the consequences is unbearable. I am afraid that this helpless depression will spread through society. Some can cope for longer than others as they are in their homes with family. Some are far more vulnerable. Depression can lead
To physical, emotional, and psychological decline. Will we see a spike in everything from health decline to suicide? Please reach out to others. Pray for the governors who are making the guidelines tighter and tighter. Go outside. Maintain distance physically
But at least see others and talk to them. Neighbors can visit over the backyard fence. Go for long walks and interact with other people. This can be done without spreading the virus. It will make you stronger not weaker. It will help you physically
Raising your immune response. Health is not just staying away in quarantine. Sunshine, healthy happy attitude, activity, and human contact is more important for your immune system than any medicine created in a lab. Stay safe and smart. Support each other.
Do NOT start reporting people for going to work, taking their dog for a walk, jogging, visiting a neighbor across the fence etc. Instead join them. This was seen once in history. Hitler's children even reported their parents if they said anything that disagreed
With Hitler. Neighbors turned each other in. Do NOT accept this declaration from any official. Resist, vote them out, they are true fascists and have no place in our society. They hate you. Learn from history. Do not accept control from government edicts.
Most of all.....Love each other. Watch out for your family and neighbors. Protect each other. We are humans and rely on this to survive. Retweet this thread with love for humanity. @PresMon75
