On March 13, 2020 – as the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread in the U.S. – the federal government ordered a halt to nursing home visitation, group dining, and communal activities. The impact upon residents is unimaginable. Typically, under federal law, a nursing home “must provide services and activities to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident [.]”
Window visits and interactions through video calling were no substitute for human interaction, and even less satisfying for the high proportion of residents with dementia. Further, to be unable to meaningfully interact with one’s fellow residents was another blow.

George Floyd’s family emerged from a more than hour-long White House meeting and said President Biden “wasn’t happy” that Congress hadn’t yet passed an overhaul of policing laws but would not rush the legislative process.
The family urged Congress to pass new laws intended to curtail police brutality and prevent deaths at officers’ hands.
“If you can make federal law to protect a bird, which is the bald eagle, you can make federal law to protect people of color,” said Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd.
The White House meeting, which included Vice President Kamala Harris, came as members of Congress failed to meet Mr. Biden’s challenge to pass a major policing bill by the anniversary on Tuesday of Floyd’s murder.
