No, not necessarily. Fix the problem of workers bringing Covid into homes (quick test, sick leave, higher pay for Care Aids, etc.) and relax visitation restrictions for family. Which is not a bad strategy.

At the end of the day, I think you have to weight the quality of life versus length of life. Sure, you might extend the life of seniors in homes by all these visiting restrictions but what kind of quality of life are they living ... isolated from family and loved ones, locked in their room 24/7, not even bingo?! If you ask most people in their last lap of life, would you rather have 3 months of quality life (contact with family and social interaction) or, a year of life locked alone in a room, what do you think they would choose? I know what I would choose.
