Mine are a bit funny too always have been. Ask you a million questions every single time you go in and I’m like I’ve been coming in here for 8 years surely you don’t need to ask me all these personal questions all the time
I must be on too many meds because the staff who have been there a while don’t even ask for my name anymore.

I think the current situation gives legitimacy for rude people to be even more obnoxious.

Had to get a telephone consultation for my little girl this morning. Not coronavirus related but looking likely that she will be admitted to hospital in the next few days. I'm terrified of her been anywhere near a hospital at the moment

It’s easy to say this after you’ve had it and survived.

And anyway it’s not just about lowering the death toll it’s about slowing it down so the nhs doesn’t become over run and unable to cope. As for there being ‘nothing they can do’ they may not be able to cure you but they can certainly ensure you’re getting enough oxygen to survive whilst your body fights it. I am glad to hear you’ve recovered but presumably you didn’t need hospitalisation? I’m sure the covid patients currently on ventilation would disagree that there’s ‘nothing’ the hospital can do.

To be fair it doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t need anything just that they’re going to try a different shop. There’s many reasons why someone might not want or be able to stand outside queueing for an hour.

Letting it ‘burn through’ would’ve put tremendous strain on the NHS and the deaths would be a lot higher because the NHS couldn’t have coped.

Both coronavirus deaths and non-coronavirus deaths.

Coronavirus: Sick children hospital treatment 'hit' during pandemic - leaked email https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52239183

Parents are avoiding taking their kids to hospital because of coronavirus.

But in this article it reads that child died because they didn’t have an ambulance to send.

That’s why we can’t just let it happen. The fact that they already didn’t have an ambulance is scary. Imagine if no lockdown had been imposed? That would be happening a lot more.

There’s nothing the hospitals can do ??? We can fight all the complications the virus is causing to the body , we can put drugs into you that gives u a fighting chance to recover and we can also put you into induced comas and let machines take over so the body has a chance to recover and fight it off

And then once we’ve done all that we can then send you home happy you have recovered from the virus

Bit of a silly comment to make

Not really. Putting people into poverty after more than10 years of austerity is a silly, irresponsible and careless action to take.

Wow. My Dad's currently on ICU on a ventilator keeping him alive while his lungs recover. So I can assure you there is something the hospitals can, or at least can try to do
xx Very hard for you and your family not being able to be there, are you getting regular updates?

It's a very tough juggling act. People's lives v the economy v mental health.

Apparently even the cabinet - with the benefit of some much information and guidance - is divided on the best course of action.

We are walking a tightrope here.

I've read scary estimates of the amount of fall-out mental health issue deaths as a result of the lockdown - because of financial worries and general depression due to loneliness and boredom.
