If you worked in a nursing home wouldn't you collect unemployment compensation rather than going back to work?
Here's the thing. Nursing homes are a death trap both for the patients and the workers and there really isn't anything to stop this in reality.
All you need is one person desperate for a job who isn't collecting social security who has been or will be exposed to the coronavirus for all the patients and workers in that nursing home to be sick or dead.
So, working in ANY nursing home is sort of like playing Russian Roulette every time you go to work.
It's much worse even than working in a hospital regarding risk of death every day you go to work.
When I was in the hospital for a procedure overnight you could feel the tension in all the nurses worried about getting coronavirus and dying or bringing it home to a loved one. It was like some of them felt like they were in prison in a death sentence being nurses at this point in their lives.
I only had to endure less than 24 hours in the hospital before I got to go home the next morning, but everyone working there was scared every day from everything going on around the world. You could cut the fear and tension with a knife is was so evident and present among the nursing staff who were taking care of the patients 24 hours a day.
Leaving a relative in a nursing home likely is a death sentence sooner or later for most in rest homes now because of all this.
So, learning to live with this might be a good idea for relatives not in a nursing home right now because their health is too good still.
The other problem is that coronavirus might always be with us and we might need to get a coronavirus shot every single year like people get flu shots now. And some people who don't get that coronavirus shot might still be dying every year for the next 100 years or more all over the earth.
