What’s silly is thinking you need to sling an 86 yr old woman over a virus that you have a 99 percent chance of surviving.

The sad part is that the old woman was in the hospital for a bowel blockage. She did not have Covid-19. She was disoriented and grabbed someone's IV pole. Her family wasn't allowed into hospital to help her. Dementia, unfamiliar surroundings, noise and confusion of a hospital. There is not indication that she was violent.
