I thought no visitors or relatives were allowed ?
So he should not have been there in the first place!
So stupid.

I was under that impression too but it seems two people were allowed on the ward at any one time. (Dying)
I was also surprised that those visiting didn’t need to isolate considering it’s a hub of infection and the reason for visiting was that the person caught it from hospital.

Also if Israel are to be the front runner to look at - serious cases of Covid have dropped significantly

Also does anyone else think this is beyond stupid

not being able to buy children’s books because a Tescos has taped the area off ?!

The issue with the books is about fairness to independent booksellers who have been forced to close during lockdown. Is it fair that Tesco can keep selling because they also sell food? It seems daft but not if it's your business that is shut and suffering right now.

I think that requires the patient to be beyond further medical assistance in the opinion of the doctors in charge and requires the hospital staff to invite you in.

I don’t think it covers people dying because their idiot friends think removing them from medical care including oxygen and replacing that care with vitamins is a better treatment.

Yet you can order books online ?‍♂️ - have they stopped Amazon from selling everything an independent shop can sell ?

These are kids books with many used for home schooling and education purposes

Where do you stop ? Is there a list of what people are allowed to buy now - is that the level we are going to .
 
Just seen on BBC news about 20/25 cops in riot gear breaking up a rave.
Yet only £15000 of fines.
If the reason more people were not fined at the weddings going on in the school was police numbers
Why is it so low in this instance with so many officers there.
Must have cost more than that to set this up.

Independent booksellers can sell online as well and tough though it is against the likes of Amazon they have at least got a chance. They have no chance against a shop that is actually open though. If you think it is stupid then feel free to have that conversation with a small shop owner who has been forced to close whilst supermarkets can stay open and sell exactly the same products that forced the shop to close.

Simply my arse. Whether they are ignorant , stupid or whatever- the question is- are they dangerous? If they are , deal with them to eliminate that danger.
On your thinking, anything goes because it is merely a different opinion.
Now, if you believe that truly , you are no help at all, ( being euphemistic ), but I do wonder if you were not being facetious?

Mate, the picture is a non-story, if you look at the blue sign in the picture it’s in Welsh, this is from the Lockdown in November when the Welsh Government banned all supermarkets from selling non-essential items.

They revisited the policy ahead of the latest lockdown and books are not on the list, however, things like toys, clothes etc are.
 
Positive cases continue to drop down , the number of deaths has also dropped - the positive cases will continue to drop but will still have a high death number at the moment.

It’s very hard to be positive about lockdown easing when Media etc and people make the choices comment on little snippets about everything extending.

Right now there are people “rebelling” against the lockdown ( mainly people before the age of 55) - if the lockdown gets extended then I can see that only getting worse. Even more so if the weather starts to improve and more businesses fall away

Sorry to labour this video and repeat comment but having watched it all through, I just wanted to comment that I genuinely cried at around 15 minutes out of pure sadness and frustration for the doctor. He’s only one person on the front line who has to face this idiotic questioning and people belittling the effort they’re going to in order to help people and save lives. To have someone stand there and basically tell you that what you’re doing isn’t real must feel like such a huge slap in the face and be utterly demoralising. I’m genuinely so sad and angered by these sorts of attitudes.

I havent watched this video, it's been removed apparently, but having gathered from the posts roughly what was going on, maybe it's a good job I didn't because I am fed up with being so angry as I get with these idiots.
I understand your reason for posting this - for you as a NHS worker to see that, knowing more than most here what those Drs and nurses are going through, must be awful.
But, don't reproach yourself for your anger. If it's justified it's virtuous.
