Yes, I can see that happening, it could happen in any building where they take care of sick people, like nursing homes and such.

Many of these types of facilities hire low skill people from dubious hygienic cultures. I am only surprised it does not happen more often. I am sorry for the loss of the children.

What is really a shame is that they give Medicaid money to people who could work and are just dead beats but don't give it to care for the old and really sick people in care centers. Most kids that are in long term care or have had a catastrophic injury and need a lot of rehab are on Medicaid. The facilities get paid barely what it costs to take care of them. The government also sets the minimal limit on designated hours of care required for each person. It used to be 2.1 hours per day in Indiana. No way in the world do those people only get 2.1 hours of care a day. But this is how they are staffed, the patients need much more than that. BAck years ago even if they did not provide any direct care at all, such as a manager or something, they took those 40 hours that manager worked and applied it to the 2.1 hours per resident per day. They did this in order to try to provide some sort of care and stay in business. A legit care facility is not making hardly any money. They watch every freaking penny to be able to stay in business. There is another nursing home going out of business here and so that leaves two in the whole county. The hospitals seem to be doing better by joining up with each other and spreading costs out. More home care agencies are closing and those that remain are now becoming one big conglomerate too. Just my thoughts on the matter. I won't go to a nursing home. I plan on getting out naked on a cold day and not coming home.

Yes, and they work them to death, many hours and hard work, then the turn over is tremendous. There is not that much training required. Seems like it is about 120 hours for a nurses assistant and take a test and have your skills checked off. Poor kiddos, I bet most were on vents or feeding tubes, they took pediatric cases up to age 22 there. High skilled care needed. I would imagine many were preemies or have Traumatic Brain Injuries or something like that. I wonder how many were even able to communicate. How awful to be like that. I have a cousin who can't talk, walk, or take care of herself in any way, She must be about 47 now. Has been on Medicaid and outlived both parents, she is in a group home in a crib. She has spontaneous fractures her bones are so bad. I often wonder if it is better to die or live like that. I don't know. I am going to ask God about that when we meet.

Also, in Cali, there is Typhus among the street people. Plus , I saw a video of these street people with sores coveri ng their body.

The street people were complaining about the illegals bringing in diseases.
