[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you again for people who have replied. I a
upset. My dad says I am not allowed to talk to facility as he doesn’t want mixed messages. I think I may call and ask “generally” what is best practice for communication during a pandemic.[/quote]

That one I think you should just ignore, and I’m the one who urged some sympathy for your dad. Call and ask them to help you talk to your mom. Don’t beat around the bush about it. [/quote]

Agreed with all but sympathy for Dad.  His behavior doesn't warrant sympathy - just acknowledgement. OP, call up, identify yourself, say you miss your Mom and want to know how you can communicate with her. The CDC just put out a notice that catching Covid from inanimate objects is rare: "In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from food products or packaging."  And consider that the facilities wipe down the communication portals between patients - between that and the CDC's statement, catching Covid this way is a non-issue. And they couldn't prove it anyway, what with the vents, plumbing, caregivers, etc. No judge/jury would waste their time with this.

Every time you get afraid, ask yourself why if your father and brother are so concerned, why they don't pull her from the facility and care for her at home. [/quote]
