London they are in the turning an aircraft carrier into an emergency hospital with 4000 beds and 2 morgues, that should give you an idea how extreme this is.

It’s actually a convention centre in East London near the docklands, a financial district home to the HQs of large financial institutions and the small London City Airport.
The morgues are somewhere else I believe.

There are good reasons to believe it is just ‘dumb kids’.

Yeah but there are A LOT of them. Spring break parties (which should be banned because I’m a Puritan). Then they go back to other parts of the US.
 
If everyone was adulting, people who are meant to be in self quarantine due to foreign travel, would be staying put. They arent.
It is all generations, not just one. USA is passed 100 000 cases now . In Australia, everyone is still going to the beach, this has led to the beaches having to be closed.

There’s a great meme circulating around about what is in my control, (staying home when sick, washing hands, etc.), and out of my control, (who is/isn’t taking it seriously, supermarket hoarders). I can’t track it down but will post it as a reminder not to drive ourselves crazy over this. 🙂

While out on a toilet paper run, (WHEW!!!), I drove by the local dog park and it was PACKED with seniors standing quite close to each other while chatting it up with other dog owners. Meanwhile, kids are under the microscope whenever they go outside. We’re all on edge these days but shouldn’t turn this into a generational issue of “kids these days.”
 
So, effective tomorrow, my mother-in-law will be confined to her room in her assisted living facility. She doesn’t remember anything for more than a few minutes, and she can only hear with a cochlear hearing aid if she is wearing it. Who thought this would be a good idea in a memory care facility?
 
I’m so sorry. They may be isolating her to limit the risk of infection as seniors seem to be a very vulnerable cohort.
It’s a difficult situation and I will pray for her peace of mind.
May God bless you and your mom.
Amen.

Why no one should believe communist China’s claim that coronavirus is under control - LifeSite

'It is just one more piece of Chinese propaganda to add to the ever-growing pile of lies that Beijing has been telling these past three months.'
www.lifesitenews.com www.lifesitenews.com

This article written by a man who is rightly fighting against Chinese’s dictature vehiculate dangenrous bias.
  1. By saying that the Chinese’s dictatorial governement managed badly the virus, and it is their fault if it spread wordwilde, they suggest that confinement measures that had been imposed here and in others places in the world are “dictatorials”, against liberty so unacceptable
  2. To call the virus an “whuhan” or a “chinese virus” is dangeous. it is now a pandemic, not something only confine in dicatorial China.
  3. To suggest that answer is only medical research and not to mention preventing measures such as confinement, restrict social and economic life, or testing is close to be irresponsible. If people are ot educated to trust their governements in accapeting the restricted liberties now, many more people would die.
  4. To present Chloroquine as the possible answer. It is only based on one study and time and others unbias studies are lacking to prescribe it globably. It is the official position of france for eg, it cannot be used as preventive or give to any person infected with the current knowledge. More, it has side effects, and the drug may lack to third world countries to his original indication (malaria) if we don’t produce more.
  5. To say that it would be the United States that would win over the pandemic. Seems like a Cold War reenacting. But here, we don’t speak on politic only, but people’s life and the virus has no frontiers. And the current datas and the political decisions shows that United States began to be badly effected by the virus. The future effects, deaths and all the economic consequence on the countries and on individual lives are planned to be difficult. Population would be helped less than in more social countries such as in Europe to go through it economically. They would not win but be wounded.

I am sorry for your mother in law.

However, it is the only medically preventive mesure that makes sense. Remember that if she gets virus, she would likely die by it, or by a lack of trying to ressucitate her due to her age.
Many countries such as France had already locked all their seniors, and particularly in residency where the virus kill many old people.

Pray that she would be unlocked as soon as posible.

I understand closing the building to visitors. Prohibiting them from leaving their small rooms seems to be going overboard.
 
There is a reason for it. if one resident got the virus, the others would get it quickly by contact with others residents or with the medical staff.

When there is an respiratory epidemic residences have a high rate of mortality because people live close to others. Think for ex of uberculosis who has made many ravages under convents in the past.

rsidences are not closed places even if visitors are forbidden. Staff go there and outside. they can transmit the virus, even if they are careful. And when it got there, deaths are massives. We count many deaths in the sames seniors residencies in France.

We we can’t trust people with memory problems to respect minimum boundiaries that are imposed to all population such as hand washing afterand before every walk, keeping one meter of distance and sneeze in his elbrow, and try to not touch our faces.

Perhaps they will try to have a rotation of escorted walks? It gives them badly needed exercise…to the limit of their abilities…and changes of scenery which is always beneficial. If they must stay in their rooms, I hope they have activities planned or something to keep up moral. Even if a patient doesn’t remember a walk down the hall 15 minutes later, it will still give some benefit! I hope for the best for your mother. This is especially hard on the elderly and not just due to the illness but also the isolation!
 
That link is behind a paywall. Can you find another that does not require log in, I would be interested in reading it.

Please do not make those conclusions, we got through Spanish flu and plague, small pox and measles. We will get through to the other side of tjis.

My mother is in a similar situation. They can walk the halls if they keep social distancing. They have them sit in the doorways to their rooms and the staff does activities in the hallways to entertain them - bingo, or whatever. Most of them have smart phones or other ways to get internet, and the all have TV. She says she is bored, but I believe its necessary. The biggest thing is that they can’t all eat together, but having a room full of 80 and 90 year olds sitting elbow to elbow is just a bad idea right now.
