[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I confess that when my parent lingered in a nursing home for 4 years, Coronavirus would have been a blessing. You get to the point where your parent is legally alive, but not living.

There are entire communities where the elderly are kind of warehoused and dependent upon aides to dress, bathe, move, toilet, diaper change, feed and otherwise attend to and it’s all impersonal and isolating. My parent was in a lauded, expensive facility in a private room and it was beyond depressing and dire. We hired a private duty aide and visited to ensure our parent was rarely alone. Otherwise, the frail elderly are left alone for hours. Call buttons ignored.

My parent literally wasted away and died while sleeping. I’ve changed my medical directive that I am not be be kept alive by any extraordinary means/DNR. [/quote]

This. I think coronvirus in nursing homes is an act of kindness from the universe. [/quote]

Yes I agree.
Also, I secretly think I might not be too upset if my mentally ill mother gets it... not sure about my dad who was enabling her and never made sure we were ok... [/quote]
