Just finding an extended family member of mine is in the hospital for old people stuff, but no one can visit but one kid.

If it were my mother or wife, you wouldn’t stop me from seeing my family. Private business my fucking ass. People don’t sign away their freedom by going to the hospital. It’s not a fucking prison

Anyone involved in this practice in hospitals is going to be remembered like the fucking nazis they are

Don't blame front line staff. Blame our administrators. I worked in the ER when covid started. Me and my other night shift co-workers let visiotrs in the ER if their loved one was dying. If you wanted to get into the inpatient area's we couldn't let you up there because you'd just get kicked out anyway when you get up stairs. Admins were watching us like hawks.

The thing you people don’t get is when covid first happened, NO ONE knew what was going on. They HAD to enforce zero visitor policy to protect patients. If you don’t get it then you’re a caveman. As we learned more about the virus, they started allowing “mercy” visits, and allowing 1 family member to visit hospice patients, or someone actively dying. The visitor policy loosened as we learned more about the virus.

Unfortunately, many people were tragically not allowed to visit loved ones during these times, and that’s horrible. You can’t blame people, who in good faith, we’re doing what they had to do to balance their moral/ethical, and professional obligation to protect their patients and staff.

I personally thought the virus was a load of shit about 2-3 weeks into the “pandemic,” but i can’t force the rest of the country to trust my intuitive judgement. I don’t know what you expect people on the front lines to do. It’s easy to look back and be pissed off, but back then, no one knew how serious the virus was. There was a ton of fear and uncertainty.... and and economy was in a free fall. So for me to be a hero in your eyes, i should have completely ignored my hospitals visitation policy, instantly lose my job, and i would have accomplished nothing in the grand scheme of things.
