Hopefully the next "pandemic" will not be worsened by compulsory, capricious and harmful regulations handed down by unelected persons in alphabet governmental agencies. My understanding is that the measures imposed during the spanish flu were very similar to those of covid: masks, vaccines, isolation. Didn't work either time, if the stats can even be believed.
My advice today would be to not believe anything we are relentlessly told. Trust no one and verify all! And not through folks who stand to make millions upon millions from your beliefs and actions, because they are surely lying. Important!

I've studied the Spanish Flu pandemic, at least the data that's still available, and it played out nearly the exact same way in many aspects. People were protesting masks despite solid scientific statistics that they help lesson spread of the virus during the first few waves. There were quarantines in 1918 but nothing like the lockdowns of 2020-2021, that was the most troublesome aspect of this current pandemic in my opinion. Those lengthy lockdowns completely wrecked small businesses and individuals financially/psychologically and the more I learn about the vaccines the more I question their safety. My wife's ex-boss nearly died after her first one. I had heart palpitations for six months or so after my first.
What was happening in nursing homes and long term care facilities was even more atrocious. My father died in one in 2020. We discovered the nursing home withheld food, water, and meds for almost three days. When he was taken to the hospital emergency room (after we demanded he be taken) they discovered he was so severely dehydrated that his kidneys were shutting down and he was withdrawing from his prescribed opioid painkillers that he took regularly. We contacted lawyers but none of them would take our case because the Governor of Ohio issued a "blanket immunity" to long term care facilities to protect them against lawsuits. Something very sinister was going on there.
sinister is a good word for what is happening in the medical field world wide. Western med mandated, even when obviously harmful, especially in nursing homes. Those are death camps, turned more so during covid confinement. I'm so sorry you had that experience.
Spanish Flu mainstream info, like most government approved info these days, is comprised of fewer than ten easy to remember facts. What it generally lacks is info about the vaccines that were being heavily administered at the same time, especially to servicemen who were TADA the demographic that was hit the hardest with Spanish Flu. Same as today. We fall for the same fairy tale over and over again. It is not simple at all, except in google searches.
After witnessing what I did in those two nursing homes my father was in I'd say I have to agree. Both were owned by the same corporation and when my Dad went into the first one to be rehabilitated from a car accident they were putting all of the patients in the same small room for hours a day. Mind you, this was during the height of the Covid epidemic. Of course, Covid swept through and infected a large amount of them. When they were infected they were transported to facility #2 where all Covid patients were housed.
I can't even think about what we witnessed at the second one for too long. By the second day my Father wasn't even recognizable because of the bloating. They weren't even getting the most basic of care in there. We found out later the government incentivized those institutions by paying them for each patient in their care who had Covid, then they received more money if the patient died from Covid in their care and it was on the death certificate. Combine that with blanket immunity from litigation and it gets the mind working.
The more rational part of my brain always kicks in before I go too far down this rabbit hole but my wife and I have discussed several times how it seems like an orchestrated effort to reduce the amount of Social Security recipients. I hope I'm wrong about that.
I do not think you are wrong at all. I am so sorry you had to suffer through all that!
The stats on covid deaths or cases were artificially inflated so that medical entities, which would have gone out of business during the covid marlarkey, could instead thrive. They profited from hastening deaths, the more the better. I'm sure it was difficult to care for patients with all the measures they had to try to comply with as well, but I have no doubt that many of those patients would have lived, had they not been treated as they were. When people complain that covid did all this damage to our healthcare, our schools, our children, our small businesses, and our financial systems, I have to point out that covid harmed none of those things. The inane, obviously harmful and completely unjustified covid measures did the harm. I just hope the next time governments worldwide tell us to harm ourselves, many many more of us will say "NO!"
Thank you, I know thousands of other families had to endure similar experiences. Maybe some day there will be some legal recourse to make them pay (not that this would bring our loved ones back). Good point, the fear instilled in us is what caused the most harm. Unfortunately humanity has a very short memory when it comes to things like this, I guess this is one reason I wanted to create Blockchain Memory Project.
What would happen in the old people's homes and everywhere where people with disabilities and the very sick were cared for after this "state of emergency" was declared, I already imagined in the first four weeks. It is not difficult to imagine these scenarios of neglect and that the caregivers and directors of such institutions, fearing for their own lives, would neglect the one that everyone was supposedly so concerned about. Just think of the choice of words "to protect the old and the weak". It is one thing to frighten whole nations, one can try, but that it then happened, due to punitive legislation, and people henceforth did not know how to distinguish what they were more afraid of, the long arm of the law, exclusion in their professions or fear of contagion, was obvious. All those who let themselves be overtaken by panic and thought they had to be stricter than the Pope let their responsibilities slip and as a result those who were least able to take care of themselves were left alone: again, the old and the sick etc.
Some managers of old people's homes did not go along with this and did everything humanly possible for their residents, including letting relatives enter their relatives' rooms where there were any. They had to put up with all kinds of insults, such as murderers and Nazis, etc. How many people who thought the measures were excessive and this became public lost their jobs through denunciation, I don't know, but there were some who would have been better off staying in their positions.
How cynical the images of the dancing nurses on the deserted wards in the hospitals must have seemed to those who saw their parents, for example, criminally neglected, as in your case. That is very hard to bear, I would say, and you have my sympathy for that.
In my circle of acquaintances, those who clapped at the windows in the evenings were those who had isolated themselves the most and, out of fear, placed themselves in the hands of the state, which would "fix it". I followed, repulsed, the "hunters of justice" on their forays outside on the meadows and toboggan runs, where parents welcomed winter with their children unmasked. Their gloating over "caught violators" gave ample indication of how much they felt legitimised by the state to play the police. I saw masked policemen dressed in full gear, eight of them gathered around a homeless man and harassed him. In my city, entire parks were closed and entire streets were mandated with masks.
Did you follow the early witnesses from hospitals, like some of the nurses who cried over the treatment of the patients, in particular those, who were given ventilators and died from being ventilated way too heavily and even in no need for ventilation?
Oh well, I don't want to go into this again. You cannot undo what happened. You are right, we all need some space and to heal what wounds we have.
I don't think that "the next pandemic" shall even be declared.
