To the editor: On July 15 my daughter and I arrived in Kendallville, from Massachusetts, to visit my dad who resides at a local nursing home. When we booked our trip, vaccination rates were increasing and COVID cases were declining. Since we both were fully vaccinated, it seemed safe enough to travel. We were all so excited to be able to see each other in person and finally share hugs again. However, had our trip been even a few days later, this eagerly anticipated visit would not have been possible because some selfish, unvaccinated person started a COVID outbreak at his nursing home. One case quickly turned into several cases in his wing of the building. Now, instead of my dad and his hall mates enjoying visits with friends, family, and each other they are confined in quarantine. This remains a very dangerous situation for the residents and the staff.
