morning stellajane: Who is John Campbell 

Until tests become reliable there isn't much point.  The hold up in Labs. looks like being long .........

If your sister isn't showing symptoms then maybe 14 days from Hospital admission is enough.  Is she well?

Before Easter My sis MIL (79) was transferred to a community hospital to a covid ward after  She  tested positive and lung scan showed covid in lung .

The ward she is on was formerly an elders ward. Because it's a community hospital  There is no ICU or ventilators there and no doctors at weekends.  Over Easter no docs for 4 days..

Doc told sis friday her condition has worsened as it has spread into other lung  now. Said he will call sis on Monday when he is back. I assume someone is on call but  given what we know about how rapidly 2nd stage can possibly decline it's not very comforting

shambolic is the word ..........

Keep a good distance from others, kick back if trolleys get too close [I'm determined to get onto the 6o'clock news for something  ]
Wash with hot soapy water - often
Wipe down surfaces more often than usual
Boil wash towels, flannels, kitchen cloths
Get into the sunshine

Thanks hurdity. I had got that wrong all along. As you say, confusing.  It is actually quite Important we all understand the terminology realy as when reporting symptoms ppl might say they have been isolating when they havent. 

As far as symptomatic households go there is quite a lot of info on govt site about it. It's under "guidance for households with possible covid". If anyone wants to look at it.

Strangely,  my sis has been told by 111 that she must stay in for 14 days not from the date her MIL first got symptoms but from the day she went into hospital which was 10 days later.. 

Katejo. In Sweden the govt has trusted ppl to be responsible. bars and restaurants still open in stockholm that approach didnt work well here hence our eventual lockdown.  . I read yesterday  that they are now "grappling  with a higher death toll than their scandinavian neighbours".    Will be interesting to how your friend feels about it

Re. Your sis. Definitely supposed to be 14 days from when first symptoms showed so this surprises me.

Yes I have read quite a bit about what is happening in Sweden. Awaiting the next update from my friend. Did try to give her a quick ring today but no answer.

It will be very interesting to see if the Swedish system is effective.  I think hopes for a vaccination solution are unfortunately wishful thinking, and we will have to get used to living with the virus. We can't stay under lock down forever and there is likely to be several re-emergence events.

Sorry if that's depressing.

We are in lockdown 4 a reason.  Because it's new everyone is working off the cuff.  I wonder about the arguments behind closed doors B4 each daily update?

One thing that should come out of this is that the government of the day listens to key work places when they ask for speicifics?!?

Easy to forget probably

  on a train 


there are a lot of near misses with train crossings sadly ......

Vit D - Fultium D3 3,200unit capsules 1 daily for 12 weeks. forgot mine yesterday 

[CLKD]

Of course you got off the bus.  Now however?   

[CLKD]

   what, B4 taking a 'photo .......... "I'm a Medical Secretary so U can put that away, I see those every day in my work". 

[Tc]

Jaypo the same thing happened to me on a train

[CLKD]

Because we didn't know how to deal with it.  I knew the difference between girls and boys but had no idea what they were for  .  I saw a flasher in a mental health ward, probably what he was in for ......... he would pull the screens across the main door into the games room and put it between the curtains  .  I was 11. 

[Foxylady]

Thankfully I have not had that experience!!!

Do you think everyone is taking this social distancing seriously, especially the young and invincible ones? I don't think so.  I say this because I know of a young lady locally who continues to see her boyfriend now and then. I don't know the full situation tbh, she might just be going for a walk with him but She sees nothing wrong with it as ?everyone is doing it? apparently. I know her mum is furious but other than throwing her out, doesn't know what to do. There are 3 key workers in their house so she has more chance of passing anything to him than anything else as he is a bit of a hermit anyway.
I've also read stuff on different forums which seems to suggest that this is quite widespread and I just wonder why? People really are selfish.

If people keep on like this, is it ever going to end? Or because the majority are abiding by the rules, is that all that's needed? The more I read and think about it the more worried and confused I become.
