Does Arlington use a live bugler or one of those prerecorded horns that look like a live bugler?

With long-term care facilities essentially locked down for several months now in the US due to covid, which limits the ability of family to make face to face contact with residents to verify their current health situation, and the statistical likelihood of negative outcomes for dementia patients who contract covid, is it probable that there are medical serial killers at work in long-term care now who will be undetectable so long as they don't get greedy or sloppy?

There are some dementia care units who are experiencing 30% mortality rates for residents due to covid ... isn't this an opportune time to literally hide the bodies?

We've already seen cases of 'bug chasers' in the health care field who knowingly contract covid, use medications to hide their symptoms, and continue to work in the health care field without properly using PPE in order to spread the virus. They've been seen so far as negligent and ignorant rather than malicious and criminal.

With state inspections limited due to the virus, are there particular red flags that would indicate intentional malicious medical practices rather than neglect due to overwork and limited staffing?

I understand their purpose...especially when military rites are often conducted by old veterans who volunteer their time and taps aint easy to play on a horn at 40° outside ... but its still a little sad.

Sorry for the passing of your friend.

I’m so glad I found you. I have an Olivetti mechanical with electric assist that uses ball technology similar to the IBM Selectric. It dates to the mid 70s and I’ve been told it’s the only machine of it’s type that can use plastic one-use ribbon and cloth reusable ribbon.

My dream is to get her running smoothly again as I love the feel of her action.

Have you worked on any Olivetti’s?
