get them out of the nursing homes
 

Cathy Johnson, who lives outside of Boston, is trying to take matters into her own hands. Johnson is the primary caregiver for her 96-year-old father, who lives nearby in an independent living facility with 2,200 residents. Two cases of coronavirus have been reported in the area and Johnson, worried that the facility might shut its doors to visitors, has been planning to extract her father and bring him to live at her house.
