By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

That's not even addressing the cost of discovery, and subpoenaing of witness if the suit went that far.
Joel would also expend thousands of dollars either locating or paying for medical witnesses, if he could find any willing to participate.
Anyone can start a civil suit, but in these circumstances it would be a very expensive choice.
Let's not forget, these ppl work for us. They are not to be idealized. They are to do their job to the best of their ability. He couldn't do that and write a book at the same time. Let's give the family some peace by at least getting some answers. They deserve that!!!
So Margaret, a specific question for you. So due to evidence rules of reasonable doubt vs preponderence of the evidence, could an elected official face a civil suit monetary judgement rather than criminal prosecution? What would be the potential ramifications?
JFK put a man on the moon; biden put a man in the women's restroom. BRAVO!
And with 22 executive orders in the first week of his installation compared to 4 for Trump, we have people still calling Trump a 'dictator'. What a joke.
It matters.
Whether it's considered 'political' or not, who cares?
What matters is that KILLED lots of people's MOTHERS FATHERS WIVES HUSBANDS SISTERS & BROTHERS and then got a freaking EMMY award for the disgusting SHOW he put on for the corrupt media.
Disgusting
Not only should he be prosecuted but, he should have to pay for the resources that the Federal government, taxpayers, provided and were not utilized.
Personally, I couldn't stand it when the news played his whining bs speeches to torment the USA with. It really proves how biased our media is. He should be made to answer for his bad decisions.
I reported my comment as well as yours
People in nursing homes die, Joels wife was already on hospice so I dont think it is ok to encourage his vendetta when she was going to die anyway. Thats the reality.
Honestly, I do not think people over 65 who can lounge around their homes should even be vaccinated earlier than the rest of us who need to go in public. Darwinism, survival of the fit. Thats how it should be.
I agree with JoAnn, I hope you find someone to help you get past your grief.
I think you have your facts confused. An individual cannot grant him or herself immunity.

In the end it will come down to facts and evidence and (hopefully) not politics.
Also reporting my post so this can get moved to Discussions, where it is more appropriate.
I remember reading your previous posts and you lost your wife to COVID. Again so sorry for your loss. I agree that in the beginning things may have not been handled right but we did not know how to deal with this virus. Scientists did not know how to stop the spread. Why did some have light cases and others passed away? NY city area was hit the hardest and fast. I live in South Jersey and the Northern Counties near NYC were hit hard. The second wave has hit harder here in my County than the first.
I don't think any Govenor can be held accountable for how they handled the pandemic in their state. They aren't Doctors or Scientists. They could only go with the information they were given. And that seems to change as they find out more about the virus. In the early days, it was trial and error. A new virus that no one knew how to treat. Things have been learned but people are still dying. Scientists are still trying to find out how this virus works. The vaccine may help but no there r no guarantees.
I pray you have family or a Minister near to help you with your grief.
