Keith,

Thank for your knowledgeable and well-informed analysis.

We are on day two of our lockdown and my son's area in Washington State is even in a worse condition which brings the matter even closer to my heart.

The worst-hit are we elderly whose immune systems are already tired and weakened.

As for sickened staff staying home - they generally can't afford to miss work so they attempt to hide it while they expose everyone to whatever they are carrying.

It's not the visitors that concern me, it's the poorly trained staff.
