Maybe it’s time for a national gut-check
==============
Earlier this week, there was a heart-wrenching story on TV.
A woman was telling the story of the Massachusetts state-run Holyoke Soldiers’ Home that had suffered over 80 C-19 fatalities. Her elderly father was one of the casualties.
She had been trying for weeks, to no avail, to speak with her father, or at least get a status report on his condition. Her first contact was when he was being wheeled to the coroner’s van.

Of course, the daughter was heart-broken and observed “nobody seemed to care … they’re just old people”.
That struck a chord with me …
Of course, people who have loved ones in nursing homes are concerned about their level of care.
At a minimum, they want their loved ones kept safe and comfortable.
But, what do we as a nation really think?
