Hard no. Loved ones should be able to decide if they wish to see loved ones in person before they die w/ gown & mask & goggles.

Inflexible bans are a human rights violation. Loved ones can then agree to quarantine after for 10 days... (Thread) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/haunting-picture-ipads-used-loved-23115935.amp

Ppe shortage is not an issue. Folks can agree to assume the risk with a cloth gown/ drape and cloth mask. That's their choice. How they value holding their fathers or mother's hand vs risk

Risk of transmission can be mitigated by a promise to self quarantine for 10 days after

By travel alone to their domicile immediately afterwards.

By disposing of the cloth barriers in the room and changing to different barriers before exiting

There is no justification for any policy that does not permit a loved one to hold their loved ones hand as they die.

I have no idea why anyone would think this is acceptable.

There are fates worse than death. And loss of humanity is one.

A policy that you can only tell your mother goodbye by ipad is a human rights violation. Sars cov 2 is a deep threat but it does not warrant this response.

Every ounce of mental energy should be about mitigating not eliminating risk so this can happen

Hard no.

I am concerned that accepting this rule as if it is gospel is part of a broader lack of rigorous thinking that defines the moment

And emblematic of what happens when doctors let administrators tell them what to do
