Every entry in this series induces dread, anger, and sadness—all courtesy of COVID-19 town criers. And horror stories from as long as four years ago continue to be revealed by those who had to confront these events up close. Someone who worked in the nursing home industry recently made an online post disclosing yet another outrage that we never even knew about before—and was never covered by any media source we know of. According to this account, many nursing homes required all belongings of deceased patients to be burned if the patient had COVID when they died, even if COVID was not the cause of death. This meant their loved ones could not retrieve these items. The items included jewelry, cash, family heirlooms, irreplaceable photos, and more.
