There is COVID policy in the American Hospital system today and it looks like this:
A new mother came to the hospital to give birth and has been placed in isolation (she can not leave her room and no visitors allowed) because when she was admitted she said her taste and smell was different from “normal”. Because of this, she was given a PCR test, and it came back positive. Her baby is also in the NICU.
She is not allowed to physically visit her baby for 10 days.
She was given a live video of her baby to watch on her phone instead.
SO…
IF you enter the hospital in labor and
IF you communicate any symptoms that can be construed as COVID (things smell or taste differently or you haven’t felt well)
THEN you will be tested for COVID-19
IF your PCR test comes back positive and
IF your baby goes to the NICU…
THEN you will be physically separated from your baby for 10 days.
*DESPITE HAVING ZERO SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF A CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS* (coughing, fever, sneezing, runny nose)
You get a live video of baby on your phone instead…
There is no mention in the policy requiring the test to be repeated in case there was a false positive.
Where are the studies showing 10 days are the ‘magic number’ to separate a mom and newborn at birth for a positive PCR?
Why has this policy not been challenged?
Is it enough for doctors to say, “not my policy” and just follow orders?
There has been EXTENSIVE research on attachment theory demonstrating the separation of a mother/primary caregiver and infant can result in irreversible long-term negative consequences involving the child’s development and survival.
Who came up with this policy?

Dee,
I was a Labor and Delivery nurse for 20 of my 37 year career. It was the highlight of my career and to me the most fulfilling. I trained and mentored so many nurses during those years that I still have contact with but most have retired or moved to less stressful units. What is occurring now in the hospitals is beyond belief. Sure, there have always been the nurse that was grumpy or doctor that everyone knew wasn't up to par. But they were they exception, not the rule. When I had to take my daughter to the hospital on Christmas morning 2020 because her Covid had worsened and breathing was labored, it was with trepidation because I had read the horror stories about what was going on with Remdesivir and ventilators. But we had already decided we weren't going to allow that to happen to her. I'm not one to be bullied, and have no problem letting medical providers know I'm educated in whatever the issue is without being obnoxious about it. What I wasn't prepared for was the level of evil that we would encounter at all levels. Or that the goal was to kill as many patients as possible rather than to cure and heal. It didn't matter the age, condition, pre-existing co-morbidites, they were all fair game. What amazes me is how some of these nurses even graduated from nursing school. I taught for a few years at a university in town and besides having the academic credentials, one of the things I always looked for in students was a sense of compassion and empathy. If they didn't demonstrate that, they weren't going to move on in the program. My opinion is that the forced vaccinations in the hospitals was to weed out the staff that were independent thinkers and those who would eventually figure out the "protocols" were the cause of the deaths, not the virus. Because as you have already written, none of this made sense from the beginning. The complete hysteria over a virus that multiple epidemiologists with impeccable credentials were telling us wasn't a threat to anyone with a healthy immune system under the age of 65, the flip-flop on masking, the complete economic collapse of our country. Why were we only allowing one person to direct the management of the healthcare response, someone who hadn't done actual patient care in 40 years and who had been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths under the AIDS crisis? But the huge red flag to me was when they began to cancel and punish anyone with a different opinion or who offered another option for care than King Fauci. That was unprecedented. Think of all the cancer centers in this country that offer different approaches to treatment. Without research and study, we would not have made some of the advancements in this area in this country. I'm afraid we've opened a door we can't close under this so called pandemic where the government decided how doctors would care for patients rather than allowing standard policies and procedures to dictate care. Almost all hospitals have policies in place for treating viral pneumonia that have been working for years and patients generally recover and return home within a few days. This shouldn't have been any different. Finally, I'll leave you with a story a lady in my town told me after she heard about my daughter's experierence. Her daughter was 26 weeks pregnant with her first grandchild and was hospitalized for Covid about the same time as my daughter. They put her on Remdesivir for 5 days, then moved her to ICU, put her on a ventilalator along with Remdesivir for 5 more days and of course she died after 10 days. The same story repeated thousands of time around the country. None of the family had any medical experience, were allowed to see her during that 10 day period, until they were ready to take her off the ventilator and she died. The family was devastated, but especially this mother who had lost her daughter and the grandchild she would never get to meet. It broke my heart. But it also made me furious. What kind of monsters kill a pregnant woman? What kind of nurses participate in it? I can hear that witch that told my daughter, "Bet you wish you had gotten the vaccine, huh?" probably saying something similar to this poor girl. "See, I told you so." We cannot let these people off the hook. Justice will have to be done eventually, or it will just continue to slide further into the abyss. Thank you for sharing your stories, and giving more people to come forward.

Is this still current policy?
