He isn't isolation. He sees a medical team that is trying to find a better facility to move him to, but no one who is better equipped to house him wants to take him. They have him in an isolation ward that was designed to contain patients that were circling the drain, not someone who might live for a couple of years, so it wasn't designed with cuddly commodities in mind. He's probably straining that facility's decontamination capabilities as it is.

As for cellphones, anything transmitting may interfere with the care of other patients. Iso rooms are usually part of or next to the ICU. If someone's life support gets screwed up by this yabo's cellphone, who's responsability is it? I don't know when the last time you were in a hospital was, but if you look around you'll see that in most of them, cell phones are banned for that very reason.

And the one thing I haven't heard is who is paying for this? BCBS or another major insurance provider who pay about 70 cents or less on the dollar? No. Medicare/Medicaid who pay about 26 cents or less? No. If had all the stuff that people seem to want him to have, it's coming out of your pocket as a tax payer. You want to pay his bills? Make a donation.
