I think of the contrast with the final photos of Queen Elizabeth just days before her death. Yes, she looked frail but also very happy, smiling unmasked as she met the new (also unmasked) British Prime Minister. She had bruising on her hand (maybe from an IV line) and she was using a cane but her joy was palpable. She died with her son and daughter at her bedside. The saddest photo I saw of her was the one where she sat alone in a mask at Westminster as her husband Phillip was laid to rest a year ago. We've consigned so many of our American seniors to lives of loneliness without smiles, deaths in isolation, a prison-like mere existence. It is a travesty and a crime. I don't know how to make this stop but we MUST stop this.

it is horrible.

Covid stole humanity via our own elected officials.

Been the cna, been the family member but I haven't been able to find the words to express my disgust with what's happened.
