Re: The effects of Covid 19.
Swimfeeders – I can only echo everything Barry has written and hope you can cope with all you have to do with your son at home. By no means an easy task that is for sure.
Recently a family member had a fall and had to visit A&E, he was seen almost immediately, temperature taken to check for coronavirus, X-rayed, fitted with a 'boot' as he had badly sprained his ankle and discharged and all within the hour. Fantastic service, far quicker than the usual four or six hour wait experienced in the past, and all due to the fact people aren't wanted in the hospital for any longer than really necessary.
The NHS staff are doing all they can with the way things are I believe. Just six months' ago it was running at almost full stretch, as it has done now for many months, probably years and all due to the politics in this country. Then this pandemic struck. Various ways have been found to do whatever is possible to do what they can for patients but it is what it is, they can only do their best with what they have.
As a country we are not doing well, judging by the figures we are given compared to other countries. Personally, and from what is heard generally in the news, I don't believe we are being told the full truth, but that is another subject for perhaps another time.
My best wishes to you swimfeeders and to your son Guy, an awful situation to be in. He is probably in a better place at home with you to care for him, without risking catching coronavirus. I hope you can both come through this and out the other side with positive results.
