And by the way...guess who has the most?pic.twitter.com/qVhNfCE5Ts
So many great reporters in CLT are all over this. We're pushing for transparency. The lack of it is troubling and as I will explain later tonight dangerous. Like many places, WSOC has been covering nursing home outbreaks daily for the past week. We're kicking it up tonight
On #WSOCTonight at 11 we are dedicating the first 11 minutes of the newscast to this important topic.
- I'm leading off
- @gcountswsoc9 on nursing home deaths
- @AllisonWSOC9 on how other reporters in other states are running into the same issue and what we can learn from them.pic.twitter.com/EG8G1cau2w
This is Joan Chenette. Last week her daughter Kathy tried to drop off clothes & a walker for her at Autumn Care in Cornelius. A frantic employee met her outside & said 2 people had tested positive. “I said second? When did you have a first? Nobody notified me there was a first”pic.twitter.com/ayeJGxWE4q
About an hour later Kathy got a call that Joan’s fever skyrocketed. This week she found out the unfortunate news- Joan has COVID-19. As the daughter of an elderly person with underlying health conditions, Kathy says the lack of transparency is not acceptable. More at 11 @wsoctvpic.twitter.com/Gjg1jbZLYp
May I remind you... it is not illegal for Meck County to provide this information! The county is just choosing not to. The health director said she may if there is a “large outbreak” at one of these facilities. Apparently 16 people testing positive in Cotswold doesn’t qualify
So why isn't the county doing this? Gibbie Harris says the county has been working with facilities for two months to restrict visitation and limit access so "they don't pose much of a threat to the community." She equates releasing outbreak location with releasing addressespic.twitter.com/D31Ko5cTJv
Again, other counties are releasing this. Former Cabarrus Health Alliance Director of 38 years Will Pilkington says not providing it is harmful "When all of us are giving different information and communication styles in an environment like this, it just breeds public mistrust"pic.twitter.com/TNB9xpQMmi
The nonprofit FOR (Friends of Residents in Long Term Care) is also calling for this information. "This is for the health and wellbeing of residents, as well as staff. Family members have the right to know in case they need to make a decision regarding bringing a loved one home"pic.twitter.com/Ydtx6QXqBK
UPDATE! Officials tell me more information on long term care facilities will be released later today!
To close out this thread, it's official- Mecklenburg County is now identifying nursing homes with outbreaks:https://twitter.com/JoeBrunoWSOC9/status/1251281901480009737?s=20 …
I talked to my Mom on the phone today and she can’t leave her room. They bring meals to the room to her and her roommate . They are trapped in their rooms 24 hours a day right now .
