Nursing homes won't be saved from centrally planned hell of "nursing home prison" by a destruction of entities like the CDC, CMS, etc. - but instead by a mass indifference to their dictates.
Why don’t more people ignore the “rules?” I mean if I were visiting and chose to not wear a mask in the private room of my relative, would I be arrested? If Bob decided to have dinner at the table of two (now 3), he may be asked to leave the table but what if he said “no thank you.” Would he be escorted out of the nursing home and told “see ya”? What about the nurses too- if they chose to wear the mask as a chin strap would they lose their job? I think you are correct- when the rest of us stop being afraid of “breaking the rules” then policies will change. It’s hard being the first to stand up, hard being the one to go against the herd. I very much appreciate your commentary and your willingness as a medical professional to say “this is not how this works” since so many of our colleagues are reluctant to do so or worse, believe the people who promote this nonsense. Ever notice that those people don’t actually work WITH patients? Funny how that is... anyway, thank you again for standing up. Here’s to breaking the rules!!! Cheers!

You might be right. A general mutiny might be the way to go. Hope everyone is prioritizing getting a little sunshine, and sleeping well.
