Callousness

As the COVID-19 death toll in Minnesota approaches 1,000, we're learning each day that the vast majority (approximately 80%) have occurred in long-term care facilities. It would stand to reason that a prudent response would be more stringent controls over how patients are handled in such facilities, right Shockingly we've come to find out that residents with COVID-19 are still sharing rooms! Combine that with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo callously dismissing deaths of the elderly by saying “Older people, vulnerable people are going to die from this virus. That is going to happen despite whatever you do," it's a scandal of epic proportions (the death toll in New York LTCFs is approaching 6,000).

How the elderly have been dealt with during this pandemic is on par with callousness shown the unborn. I don't believe it's hyperbole when I say this will be an everlasting stain on our country.
