[ExI] a sad story

>From Premium This is True

*It’s Like It’s Contagious or Something:* In July, all 60 residents of the
Three Rivers Healthcare Center, a nursing home in Norwich, Conn., were
tested for Covid-19. The virus has torn through most nursing homes in the
state, but all 60 at Three Rivers came back negative. The day after the
test results came in, nurse Mary A. Ciezynski returned from vacation, and
came to work even though she wasn’t feeling well — and a supervisor said
she had to remind her “repeatedly” to wear a mask, as required by state
regulations and Three Rivers’ protocols. Sure enough, she later tested
positive for Covid and at least 22 residents and 6 of the staff are also
infected, including Ciezynski’s mother, and at least four residents have
died, including Ciezynski’s mother. Mairead Painter, the state’s Long Term
Care Ombudsman, has called for a criminal investigation, since “I do feel
that this clearly rises to the level of an elderly abuse issue.”
