I’m so sorry to learn this summer. How upsetting this must be to you. I hope she gets great care and as quick to recover.

No vaccine is 100% effective and we're told that IIRC the AstraZeneca is over 90% effective after two doses - which means, of course, that some people will still be made ill by the virus.
Not many, but some.
Be grateful it wasn't the Pfizer vaccine because by all accounts that one is proving not to be as effective, according to the Israelis and others.

It's the other way round. The Pfizer vacine is the more effective.

Carol I expect they have taken him back in because the virus will thrive if his blood sugar levels rise. In hospital they should be helping him to monitor his carbohydrates.
If he is on insulin they should also be able to help him adjust his injections, if he isn't eating as well as normal.
Infections are dangerous to diabetics, but at least he is in a place where they should be able to help keep his blood sugar at a reasonable level. That means no grapes or chocolate bars till he is much better! I hope he is soon on the mend again.

Summer do they check on how she is, or is it up to her to seek help if she feels worse?
If it is, tell her not to be too brave and get as much help as she can because this is an illness that only professionals know how to deal with.
I hope she is feeling much better soon!

That would be described as a "superspreader" event, and it is why there's a passport scheme being introduced as an attempt to stop (or at least minimise the risk of) this sort of thing happening.
When people like that don't behave sensibly and in so doing put others at risk, I don't see that there are many workable alternatives.

Re: Had jabs but still hospitalised.

The entire family are very worried now.
He has pneumonia & a suspected blood clot on the lung. In a lot of pain.

Just hoping he's strong enough to fight it.
