For everyone who's bending the rules!

Get well soon Marydoll!

I take it you're not bending the rules heath40, so nobody's lecturing you.

Hetty58,who are you talking to?

So fed up with people lecturing others,I accept it from our Government,but not random know it alls on an anonymous forum.

and still some people insist on their right to walk to the village every day because they prefer to buy produce every day.
others say london hosps are not overwhelmed. wonder why mayor khan declared a major incident then. guess they'll say it's part of a grand conspiracy or something.
there's no reasoning with stupid, or selfish, arrogant.
take care Marydoll, that must have been a shocking experience in itself quite apart from the medical condition that took you there.

I think just blaming other people breaking the rules is an easy way out and a way of wrapping one self in the comfort blanket of self awarded virtue.

I do not think that many people are breaking the rules, certainly not enough to explain the explosive growth of new cases over the last month all over the country whether urban suburban, rural or deeply rural.

I think that there must be another vector involved in its rapid spread other than being more infectious and aerosol spray. We know that covid is a zoonotic disease; that Denmark slaughtered its farmed mink population after the disease was found on the farms and it has been found on occasion, in the cat population. Could this vector be an animal that has a symptomless version of the illness and can pass it to humans; cats, dogs, guinea pigs or any small animal that is handled. Just an idea.

I have been shielding since March, but all efforts to keep safe and protect the NHS, went to pot on Monday night, when I was admitted to hospital after suffering a heart attack.

I was put in an acute medical ward until a bed could be found in the coronary care, high dependency unit. There wasn't a single bed available in the whole hospital.
When I said I was shielding, the nurse in charge said there was nowhere to put me and no possibility of me continuing to shield, she was powerless to do anything about it.

The technician carrying out my heart scan was in tears, saying she hadn't signed up to put her life on the line.

So I am in total agreement with you Hetty
