China Coronavirus

[Seaney]

Given your attitude to the spread of Covid that is a good thing.

Care to elaborate, what age are you lets say 45, in all the winters when you got flu do you stay home and isolate, did you wash hands, social distance or did you go to work at any stage, socialise, meet in different folks house before 2 weeks when you first got symptoms?

Angelo whether you're right or wrong doesn't overly matter here. Not to me anyway.

You're absolutely correct to probe the preconceived concepts, lazy thinking, and in some cases sheer zealotry of contributors.

The number of hugely intolerant replies you've faced - especially those that wish to decry you as an idiot for maintaining an open mind - is completely out of order.

But for God's sake, please do everyone a favour and stop posting the same f**king post in a slightly reworded way, every few hours.

This thread is now unbearable to read. And it's mostly on you.

I suspect those on here advocating lockdown to save the NHS hasn't had a family member seriously ill during the last 7 months, my wife and her siblings are doing 24/7 round the clock care for their father who is on palliative care, oxygen, morphine etc as if he was to go into hospital no one would be allowed in to see him.  The palliative care team don't visit, they zoom etc, granted one family member is a nurse, but been long time out of general practice, the NHS is only open for covid patients and the inhumanity of not allowing visits is heart wrenching.

Yes my dads in a bad way, still getting his visits from the cancer nurse and still getting appointments at the Cancer clinic...

He would be happier if we had a better handle on the situation so that he can have a better outcome in the long run with his extended family, at the minute due to the virus and it's effects on cancer patients it would possibly end his life sooner should he catch it by ones wanting to let her rip

God that is atrocious to take your fathers illness and weaponize it like that, I never once said let it rip, but we should let people live, vulnerable people can be protected without shutting down society,  I hope your father isn't suffering too much, it's tragic to be so ill and even more tragic in these strange times.

I'm not, you put up a statement saying care and home care visits are not being done, it is and visiting hospitals is not a closed place for anyone without covid, as cancer treatments are being carried out.. and I never said that you want to let her rip, other people have and that's who I'm referring too

Care homes are closed here, and if my father-in-law was in hospital no one would get to see him - that is fact!

My granny was in hospital about 6 weeks ago there, nothing Covid related or that. Only 1 person was allowed (who was nominated) was allowed into visit.

My mother was in from Easter for about 12 weeks I was allowed down once when they said she had hours to live.

It takes two to tango.

When I continue to meet the lazy and intolerant replies I have then I will continue to use the same posts I have.

Hospital count up by 3 and 3 more in ICU up north. The hospital numbers haven't grown anywhere near as much this week (up north) which is good despite the positive test increase day on day. Hopefully they will start to reduce soon.

Cancel everything - get doctors out of General Practice and up to the nightingale the surge is on.

The positive test hasn't seen an increase day day.

We had a record total on Friday and have had lower numbers in the subsequent four days with two sub 1,000 figures yesterday and Monday.

The daily new cases are flattening, not rising.

[imtommygunn]

The growth in daily cases is flattening yes.

[Angelo]

The growth in daily cases is flattening yes.

I told you that yesterday but you took umbrage with it.

[imtommygunn]

[Angelo]

The growth in daily cases is flattening yes.

Yes, exactly what you took umbrage with yesterday.

[imtommygunn]

It's not at all. You said the virus was stagnating.

That's been standard since Covid and you wouldn't want too many people visiting wards in hospital anyways.. the Nominated person has worked well enough, ones have brought in their Ipads and face timed other family during it..

Care homes should be closed as they were the main reason death rates spiked so much...

Yeah about 2 months ago I was able to visit my mum ok in hospital though it was 2 delegated visitors but you needed to tell them up front. It worked not too bad though was moving to one visit a week.
