The Covid Thread

People spouting conspiracy theories that it's 5G phone masts causing it, or it's governments trying to force totalitarian control over the people etc. My father in law went into hospital 22nd Dec with heart issues, came out on 27th Dec. 6th Jan same issues arise again, back into hospital, 4 days later mother in law gets a call from the hospital telling her he has caught covid from a member of staff at the hospital, last week he got worse so was put on a ventilator, and died Tuesday morning. My concern is how did this happen in a specialist hospital like Addenbrookes? Mrs Hairy wants to go be with her mum, but can't, and although she can go to the funeral when they get a date, she can't go in her mum's house, let alone stay there, meaning she has to drive from Devon to Cambridge, attend a funeral, then drive back in one day!
So stay safe out there people. One thing though, whoever thought you would be more likely to be killed as a result of standing to close to someone as opposed to riding a motorcycle?
Awfully sorry to hear about your loss Hairy - we have lost a distant relative in his 60's to covid - without getting political, people need to start complying with the rules. The trouble is, a person breaking the rules doesn't see the end product of their actions, which always ends up in the hospital several contacts down the line. The little inconveniences we are complaing about, doesn't compare to death! We should just get on with it so we can get back to normal

I'm wondering about the 30 minutes or so I've ridden during lockdown on those days when the weather isn't too bad. I'm certainly isolated on a bike and at 63 years old maybe it really does qualify as exercise, if mechanically assisted. ;D Your thoughts?

If it wasn't a reliable Honda you may have been pushing.... ::)

I was 65 a couple of weeks ago, and moved up two priority groups overnight! Yesterday morning I got my vaccination letter from the NHS - I got my jab this morning, the Astra Zenica one, in an indoor tennis court at the Ethiad Stadium in Manchester. I'd booked online, and at the same time I booked my second dose, on Star Wars day, May the 4th (be with you) :)
It all went smoothly, lots of volunteers to park us up and herd us in the right direction, I was in and out in 20 minutes.
Soon I will be able to go out and lick handrails again.... :D :D
