I confirmed this with a relative in hatzalah, he says it’s true and hatzalah can’t do anything about it because they don’t let anyone in there 



Fwd: I have inside information from a friend whos a nurse that some maimonides nurses are ignoring jewish patients and letting them die...she told another nurse that one of the patients (heimishe patient)oxygen level was dropping and the nurse totally ignored so she went to complain to the superviser thst the nurse is not complying the head nurse also ignored and patient died..and family nebach thinks that they died from virus..they died from neglect.. the nurses on her unit are blaming the jews for the spreading of corona..


If chas veshalom anyone needs emergency care they should call a private ambulance(most take insurance) and go to a different hospital

Dr. Ditchek says this is dangerously false message.

My doctor says its true and he would speak with Ditchek today. Saw and spoke with him this morning. There is no one there advocating on behalf of patients. Everyone is doing the bare minimum because the governor insulated everyone from liability by law unless you can prove gross negligence. He also said there are no N-95 masks readily available for anyone. You have to beg and plead to get a mask. Theyre locked up. He as a doctor doing rounds had a very hard time getting one.

You can get N-95s locally for $1-2? Where? Ready to buy 100k+ Not the 3 ply garbage the groceries are making you buy for $2 to fatten their wallets some more.

I ordered some 3 ply masks from Amazon last week. A pack of 3M N95's came in the mail. The listing is gone. Very strange.

Obesity seems to be a commonality.

In light of this, do you agree with this petition?
https://www.change.org/p/governer-andrew-cuomo-allow-a-family-member-in-the-room-with-coronavirus-patient

To me it doesn’t sound like a good idea to have hundreds of people visiting, but there has to be a way to take care of our loved ones.

That’s only for delivery, not so many people will be coming so it makes sense. But to allow people to visit the highly contagious coronavirus ward? Sounds like a bad idea to me.

Well the change.org thing says 'Allow a family member', not many. But still. I don't know the answer.

There appears to be a very small percentage of young people with no underlying health conditions or obesity that succumb to the virus.

However, just because there were no KNOWN underlying conditions, doesn't mean that there weren't any. Many people discover an underlying condition during a routine yearly medical checkup.

Exactly. No KNOWN underlying conditions.

1. They are allowing private nurses at the bedside now.
2. Who want to be exposed?
3. The downside is there is no one to advocate for patients.
4. Frum nurses have been posting that they are saying shema and viduy r"l with patients because there is no one there.

This could be very important.
Maybe once we can test to see who is immune, an immune relative could safely accompany the patient.

Fwd: I have inside information from a friend whos a nurse that some maimonides nurses are ignoring jewish patients and letting them die...she told another nurse that one of the patients (heimishe patient)oxygen level was dropping and the nurse totally ignored so she went to complain to the superviser thst the nurse is not complying the head nurse also ignored and patient died..and family nebach thinks that they died from virus..they died from neglect.. the nurses on her unit are blaming the jews for the spreading of corona..


If chas veshalom anyone needs emergency care they should call a private ambulance(most take insurance) and go to a different hospital
Just to be clear, the allegation here is that it's the frum patients specifically who are being ignored, and the other corona patients are being cared for?
It's not just that the nurses are trying to avoid dealing with any corona patients?
