Corona Virus Treatment

We have our online shop placed into plastic trugs and then we put them in the garage. Mrs H then wipes down certain items with disinfectant if they need bringing into the house.Parcels and letters are put into the garage to be opened, then we wash our hands. One thing about these 10 months of lockdown, don't you generate a huge amount of cardboard! Our little blue bin can hardly cope.

 

Had my second jab yesterday. Time had been reset to 1645. Allowing plenty of time to drive into London, it was a shock to find the roads almost empty. On arrival, the usual dtiving atound in circles for a vacan parking bay. Eventually we got one and sat for an hour prior to booking in. We'd wondered why so many ambulances, so late in the day. In the treatment area, we discovered lots of patirnts had come by ambulance. The place was packed. Despite being told that I would be seen to in about tweny minutes, it was over an hour later I got the jab. You would never suspect that the medics had been on the go for so long, no course words, always a smile and a kind word.

Somehow I sensed that this time the jab would hurt. Whereas the previous jab was over and done with, with no sensation. This nurse was a bit heavy handed, ouch!. I now have my card back as evidence of the vacination and a small stick has been added to it. My arm is a bit more painful this time, but not too bad. At least it is over and done with. Seeing how this virus is increasing. Don't take chances. Have the jab. You will then have some protection.

 

I handle post a lot less now, why, chating to posty over a problem letter (nowt to do with us but to help lessen the problem in which to help) posty said that he had it twice and it was rife in the sorting centre

 

They have set up test sites for people who are showing no signs of covid, apparently to catch the so called asymptomatic ones amongst us.
The suggestion is you have a test every two weeks.

Not sure if this is a good use of resources, bearing in mind you can test negative today and catch it tomorrow and then spend ten days or so spreading it before you have another test.

I'm just wondering if its more to do with just creating statistics.

And really, bearing in mind none of these places are just a 5 min walk away, where does it fit in with the stay at home theme.

I do understand testing people with symptoms but this just looks like throwing money at something in the hope it might look like we are getting everyone involved.

 

A chilling quote from someone who has lost a loved one to Covid-19:

"This is real. We stuck to the rules and it still got us. It's out there and it could come for you."

I forgot, you dont come under KCC do you?

 

Would it be silly to make the assumption that if somebody who lives in your household tests negative today, that you yourself are most likely to also be negative up to the point of the test?

Reason for asking is that granddaughter has had two tests due to hospital admission rules. She is going to have a third one when she goes back in the end of the month and I just feel that if she hasn't picked it up and is with me pretty much 24/7, then I too must be okay.

Good assumption or silly thinking?

 

My daughter was still under the same roof as her Husband when he received track and trace. He isolated immediately and kept himself in a spare room and never even visiting the bathroom without first getting the all clear..i'm free.. daughter doing OTT with anti bac cleaning pretty much 24/7 as obviously she is now off from her carer's job. She gets tested and is also positive so now they are at least together..She has already been back to work as received a negative now. Son also was quite bad all before Xmas and he is now negative but not well enough yet to go back to his job as a Bus Driver...I do worry about them loads but what can you do where ever you live they are you kids...Saw on facebook that my Sister's 1st child and and husband has had the covid19..what a strange way to find out...Just can never be certain of anything Lori...
