As she is 91 shortly I hope it goes well for her and her family. Unfortunately should she die anytime soon which must be a distinct possibility at that age the anti vaxers on faceache will have a field day.

It's the Daily mail comments pages that are the real worry. Man, there's some idiots on there. Do they really believe the Bill Gates stuff.

It's worrying whatever way you look at it. 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?

Really sorry to hear that Hairy. Unfortunately an all too common occurrence these days. I know personally of three people that caught it in hospital, all thankfully survived. I would get a covid test and go and visit mum regardless, some things are more pressing.

At Wendy's workplace they have been told the figures have not peaked yet they might hit 2000 before the end of the month. She is currently ringing the over 80's to book Covid Jab at local Velodrome. All nursing home residents & staff done now. Local surgeries (not mine yet) are now on the over 70's lists.

Sorry to hear about your father in law - how dreadful - I went to a funeral last year when my best friends wife died at home of Covid - there were 6 of us there. His daughter in law who died the week before (of MSA) had only 3 - her parents didn't bother attending.
