You would think other states would learn
One of the nurses from the VA home was on Fox News discussing how it spread so fast, staff working multiple halls & moving residents to different halls

Exactly what they are doing in LA

They are also treating patients in the nursing homes
Once symptomatic they are sent to hospital for test, if negative they go back to nursing home
If positive but do not need ICU they are sent back to nursing home

All the nurses treating these patients are staying on that hall but they are not kept from nurses for other halls

Maintenance staff is still covering entire nursing home

JBE isn’t going to put any tight restrictions on his buddies

This we did not do. Staff tested -- you got sent to the hospital by 1) family request or 2) you weren't stable and wouldn't keep your oxygen on (dementia patients are difficult y'all)

We emptied a wing and brought those with symptoms there .. the first two were negative and they went to their rooms. Hall remained empty.

After positives started happening they started filling that wing. I mean it was that or keep a positive person with their roommate.

The nurses on that hall were the nurse, the CNA, the housekeeper -- not sure about maintenance as we only have one guy so I suspect that if it could wait, it did and if it couldn't it didn't.

LDH never set foot in the building .. the nurse sent back a lol emoji when I asked if they came to help or sent a "strike team". Ou people WERE the strike team.
