You must be reading different articles from those I linked, because that's not what they said and that's not what Ronald McDonald Houses do.

The Ronald McDonald's House is not a health care treatment center or medical facility, and their function isn't to provide a medically sterile environment. It houses families while their children get treatment at a medical facility who provide the sterile environment for their kids. Or in the case where the children can get outpatient treatment without needing to stay in the sterile hospital environment, they also stay there with their parents at the RMH.

No one is being denied healthcare by them - the hospitals the kids are staying at (or visiting if it's out-patient treatment) are still serving them. They are putting non-vaccinated families in alternate housing.

that’s good because vaccinated can’t spread

When they get political outside of the politics section, yes, they will get deleted. Last "jab" thread had a bunch of that from both sides of the isle, and was removed.

and we all know who brought the politics into that thread but we won't mention names

TDR is (for now) as social media as I get, so I am not defending the fantasy landers one bit. But 50 short years ago it was weed, ecstasy, and cocaine fueled sex the youth was buried in.

Not sure which is worse...pick your poison. Hopefully at least some of each generation grows up enough to carry the torch.

Same here except I do belong to three other forums mainly revolving around ATP, military aviation.
50 years ago? My best friend in high school had a brilliant career ahead of him in aviation until drugs entered his life, end of story.
Future generations; I'll hang on to the belief that mankind (inherently) wants to be free from oppression and there will be sheepdogs that will rise to the task and the sheep will follow.
I don't know much about the Ronald McDonald house, but if they are anything like St. Jude, Shriner's, God bless them.

Worse, the 4year old has leukemia. And this could easily be a death sentence for him.

I fully understand... patients treated for cancer can have severe immunity compromises that could be a death sentence exposed to bacteria, diseases or viruses. I've had friends being treated for cancer who were quarantined to protect them from any exposure or infections. Not much else to say about it.

My bad, I was led astray by the guy on nbc, should have know better. It was Ron Mc House, I was thinking of St Judes.

My experience with the Ronald Macdonald house,
My wife and I adopted a special need child right after we were married. He came with significant medical issues and the closest pediatric hospital was over 100 miles away. We did not have the money to stay at a hotel or make other accommodations and a nurse informed us about a local Mcdonald house. after contacting the house coordinator we were able to stay in a room as a family for as long as we needed until our son was out of the hospital. There were always meals in the refrigerator and the place was kept clean. It had a common area where you could mingle with others in a similar situation.
The Macdonald house is set to provide a place to stay for families and patients that are far from home and need a place to stay.
I cant stand Mcdonald's food!!! and I do not agree with their stance on the vaccine (16 yrs in EMS/Fire rescue I have seen my own facts on the Covid) but I will always be in debited to them for their charitable accommodations.
Shriners is also a fantastic organization and both are worthy of my charitable contributions now that I can afford to give a little back.
