Credit: Photo courtesy of the film, '6,000 Waiting' The move into a nursing home in Royston was supposed to be temporary for Nick Papadopoulos, who was a 38-year-old living in Athens when an infected bedsore landed him in the rural northeast Georgia facility. Four years have now passed, which brought a pandemic that was particularly ruthless inside long-term care facilities. Papadopoulos has fought off COVID-19, twice. When a friend visited, he watched from a safe distance as she handed a gift to a staffer, as if it were contraband.
