I was thinking this morning how carers in homes and carers who pay home visits are being supplied correct PPE, shouldn't carers who are taking care of parents or elderly relatives be in that category too?

Re: Ignoring Coronavirus Advice
I read the other day... If there was a mass murderer out on the streets and was killing everybody they met, you would stay indoors to be safe.Yet coronavirus is a mass killer and many people still walk freely around and put themselves at risk to an invisible mass murderer.

It was not our pets that started this stupid virus.
What about people who have Guide dogs, Hearing dogs, and other service dogs? For some elderly in isolation their pets are the only things keeping them going. Are you suggesting they should see their furry helpers/companions starve?
Why are you making dogs seem like Public Enemy Number 1 at the moment?
Swimmy - you should focus on keeping yourself and Guy safe and stop having a go at us pet owners! I am glad the shops are still open - and grateful to the staff that run them!

Has she need of a carer for medical reasons for instance or she’s simply elderly ? Do you actually visit her home to check ?

Neither of you need feel guilty - you are lovely, caring people - the sort the world needs more of just now! As long as you are taking proper precautions for yourselves and those for whom you are caring - carry on!
