Old Decisions

Give me your answer
Fill in a form
Mine for evermore
--The Beatles

"We must protect the elderly." Nearly everyone assumes that rules must be enforced to limit old people's exposure to the virus.

I deliver to nursing homes and I've been trying to tell people this. The #1 thing residents tell staff: "I want to see my family". Seems obvious that when you have little time left anyway, quality is more important than quantity. Stop assuming what the elderly want and ask them. https://t.co/2bfFGaFvPH

But the older you are, the less time you have left. Do you really want to spend your remaining days isolated from those people that mean the most to you?

This is not the choice for regulators. It is a choice for the old and their loved ones.
