Yeah having my last words with my grandpa be over zoom, that he didn’t understand how to use (and was literally actively in the process of dying), was rough

I've seen people say that nursing home employees would wheel their loved ones away from the window and close the curtains while they were outside trying to talk to them.
I couldn't count the number of people who were forced to watch their loved ones dying while being confused about how to work zoom or facetime.
The same goes for being kept outside until *after* their loved ones died alone, and *then* they were let into the room.
This whole thing was like a giant humiliation ritual for the world. I can't think of a worse way to treat people than this. People were killed with over-pressured ventilators while the hospitals were paid big money by the govt for doing it. Doctors were incentivised to destroy families and cause the greatest amount of pain possible.
And all it did was make people no longer trust the medical industry. I couldn't think of a better way to cause a loss of faith in a system like that.
