Breaking News: Visitation Now Allowed at New York Hospitals and Group Homes
We have autism families in New York state who have not seen their loved ones in group homes since MARCH. Draconian measures seemed only to apply to the disabled while others were allowed to gather in droves.

ALBANY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo held his daily briefing in Albany on Tuesday. There, he announced that hospitals and group homes would be allowed to have visitors, as long as visitors follow state guidelines.
Cuomo said hospitals can allow visitors at their discretion, as long as visitors followed state guidelines, which includes time-limited visits, visitors must wear PPE, and visitors are subject to temperature checks.

JNN: Yes I think this has been the final straw for us. My mother, brothers and my family have decided to seriously consider looking at homes in nearby Fairfield County, Connecticut. I love my home and neighborhood - born and raised in NYC - but have become a political refugee in this state. Barring some miracle in November ... It’s heartbreaking and infuriating.

More Breaking News.
And more bad news for Anthony Fauci and his beloved remdesivir. Inexpensive Dexamethasone ($8 per day) is proving significantly more effective against Covid 19.
For every 8 seriously sick patients treated with Dexamethasone, one life is saved. For those just on oxygen, mortality is reduced by a fifth.
‘WHO welcomes preliminary results about dexamethasone use in treating critically ill COVID-19 patients’.

The hypocrisy is stunning. Protests where thousands gather with no masks is fine but visiting a loved one is off limits. How anyone lives in that state with peace of mind currently is beyond me. Covid and New York's awful response to it would have been the final straw. Never in a million years would I trust my autistic loved one to the rules and regulations of NY starting with their vaccine mandate and now to Covid. I can only imagine their rules once the rushed vaccine comes out. God help the kids and adults in those group homes.
