Should minors be restricted from hospital visits due to H1N1?

Our 18 local hospitals also enacted the rule. There are many exceptions, including but not limited to visiting a dying member of the family. My son has an appointment at the local children's hospital and we always bring his twin with him for moral support.

Last week I called the nurse for the department we'll be going to and she said that the brother would be welcome- unless by the time of the appointment there is an increase in severity of H1N1. If one of mine has it, the other has it because they go nowhere without the other- AND the one most likely to get sick is the one with the appointment anyway. But, to actually answer your question.

Yes, I like the idea. It's put in place to prevent those who are already ill from getting H1N1. I would not agree with it at all if there were no exceptions made though because that's just cruel.

I believe the issue here is safety-- both of children, and immune compromised patients. H1N1 is a serious disease, and children are frequently carriers. Most hospitals have exceptions in serious situations, but I support the ban in an effort to help the most people safe.

Yes minors should restricted if there is no specific reason for them to go to hospital.

I believe they already have exceptions to the rules at hospitals for dying family members to visit with their loved ones no matter what the age. If I found out that I was dying or a family member was dying and they wouldn't let our close relatives in to say goodbye because of their age, I would lobby for sure. More than likely though, I would probably bring it to the local news, because to forbid a dying loved one and family members closure is an offense many would side with the family and not the hospital if lawsuit happened over it.

H1N1 is risky to minors, persons having less immunity. So its better to not to take minors in such hospitals.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
