My mother had a stroke last Spring (shortly after receiving the 1st jab, spookily enough) and spent several months in a care home to recuperate. For the first two weeks (!) she was isolated to her room. I was told this was standard procedure for anyone transferred there from hospital. I was shocked that people who are at their most vulnerable are being deserted and cut off from basic human contact for such a long time. Often, the whole place was totally locked down, no visitors at all for ten days and all because just one asymptomatic staff member got a positive result. Nobody was ill. The effect on residents, many of whom had dementia, was truly heartbreaking. The place was already understaffed so those remaining were stressed and exhausted. It’s a dire situation.
