they can also make people comfortable. Imagine being at home, dying of this, terrified and not being able to breathe??
My husband was admitted yesterday for complications with tonsillitis. Because it was a throat infection they tested him for coronavirus and placed him a ward alone with a mask on waiting on results. He's got his treatment via IV and now just waiting on his results to see can he be discharged. I'm just so anxious waiting. But the reason I replied was to reassure you that the hospitals are taking every precaution. He had to go to 2 separate hospitals and both kept him on his own and he was given a mask. Staff using PPE and very little contact unless necessary. Its scary and I know how u feel, I just want him home.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
If we are at the peak of infection the death toll will still grow for a week or two after anyway, so unfortunately it will probably get worse.
Put the vulnerable on lockdown and increase social services to help them with shopping etc. Invest into the nightingale temp hospitals for the covid-19 sick, allow the normal hospitals to continue as usual. Call back retired hospital staff to staff the temp hospitals, allow people to continue learning income so they can feed their families and pay their bills. Encourage social distancing.
What I means was all the shops around me are very strict about how many people can go in so they will all have a large queue due to that.I turned around and went elsewhere/came back later in the day
Unfortunately the UK has massive issues with testing kits. I do not think the UK has peaked yet.
Death number today is devastating but this was predicted. Let’s hope for the cases to drop as that will be more of a sign of whether we are hitting the peak. 
It’s not like they’re doing it for fun. It’s actually necessary. You make it seem like they’re doing it because they feel like it.
Nobody wants this, you think the government wanted pretty much everything to be ground to a halt? You think they want to be paying 80% of the majorities wages? It is what is needed at this moment in time. Yes it sucks, yes it’s going to be tit after wards. But I’d rather that than have our hospitals become over run, staff walking away due to feeling undervalued and over worked during a pandemic and even more lives lost than necessary. It’s not just old people getting it and dying. Young healthy people can die from it too.
If you’ve got a better suggestion beyond ‘let it run its course’ I would LOVE to hear it.
I really don't think that would work. Or change anything from what it is now.
The vulnerable are still going out now. When I went shopping I saw more elderly than young. People continuing to earn income means leaving a lot of shops and places of business open which would just encourage the spread. And they encouraged social distancing earlier and everyone seemed to think it meant, go to the beach and Cheltenham.
People don't listen enough for something like that to work.
Thank you for reassuring me. The doctor we spoke to this morning said that she will be well looked after and that on admission they'll keep her well away from anywhere that patients with suspected covid are. We're hoping oral antibiotics work but she's a history of needed admitting for IV antibiotics for this particular problem
But then that is their choice.
You live in a fantasy land. The government tried the softly softly approach and then everyone decided it was a good time to go to the beach instead.
My husband keeps threatening to get his down from the loft. I've told him that I will not be held responsible for my actions if he doesVuvuzelas at the ready for next Thursday....
More fool them.
Yes pleaseAnybody want a couple of grizzly kids? Free to a good home! Lockdown fever
bored of being on my own It is but they're putting themselves at risk as well as the NHS.
If EVERY elderly and vulnerable person didn't listen and went out and all caught it, the ICUs would be full. That's why a harsher lockdown is needed. Take the bloody choice away because nobody is taking is seriously. There's a reason they've told the elderly not to go out.
Nobody wants to be stuck in. But if it saves lives and relieves the strain on the NHS then it's worth it.
They keep saying they expect the peak in two weeks... but I’m sure they’ve been saying that for 3-4 weeks! It’s been roughly similar numbers for a few days. They did also say when it hits the peak it’ll stay at those numbers for a while, that’s the curve flattening and then they’ll go down. I’m expecting April/May to be pretty grim and maybe June things to be looking up a bit
