COVID-19 News, Info, Discussion /// Tracking the Spread of the Virus and its Effects /// October Lockdown for UK (pg. 774)

Just been called to an Indian family who flew in from New Delhi 2 days ago.

All tested negative before leaving India.

The Son felt unwell yesterday with a sore throat and lack of taste/smell.

Today all four tested positive with lateral flow (x2) and are awaiting PCR results.

Interestingly the parents both had the virus last year and the father was in ICU. Both have since had two vax doses (COVAX).

Dosha.... this is one time being a worry wart is the most important job.

Folks are going to keep that letting loose feel good vibe flowing and aeroplanes are a flying.....

It’s fine. Until it’s not.

Dear God what the fuck is going on.

I hope they've been good with quarantining for two days!

Matt Hancock leaked yesterday that there was no guarantee the vaccines would protect against the Indian variant. In other words it doesn’t work!!!!

All looks nice in the U.K. until it’s not !

Im home this morning. So the experience of a hospital ICU during a pandemic was surreal. Our relative was slowly fading last night. No update yet this morning but it wont be long now. She had begun drawing up yesterday before we left to visit the funeral home to get that ball rolling. The point of this post is about the reasons we left yesterday.

At around one pm a nurse came into the room and informed me and my mother-in-law that all visitors from the hospice wing had to vacate as they were bringing two critical Covid patients in for palliative care.

My sister-in-law (bless her heart /s) was a little indignant when we told her because "we have been vaccinated. Why do we have to leave??". The wife then explained about exactly the limits of the shots are and how that is why she and i remained masked up with eye protection the whole trip. Why we stayed in a room away from everyone. Why we didn't hang out with them in the family rooms at the hospital and instead either went to the car or lingered outside until our next rotation to sit with our relative.

Her response was, "Well, K (me) is kind of liberal and believes everything." My wife just sighed and said, "...yeah.".

Well, we did our best in a grave situation. Now will be the funeral with these dummies within the week. In our relatives funeral plans (very thorough btw), she asked for me and her son to be the lead pallbearers so I absolutely have to attend.

Cover all Orifices!

STAY SAFE.

Fuck.

That could make a good t-shirt!

Fuck sake. I’m done for today

Thank you all. God, I hate to say this but it felt good to go on a road trip. We brought food and we only stopped for fuel (pay at pump). Wife had to use the loo twice as she cant free Willy into the bushes like me...and while Love's truckstops are sketchy for a variety of reasons, the ass-on-toilet scenario was the most unnerving. But, regardless, driving through Arkansas, Oklahoma and up into the foothills of the Ozarks into Missouri in Springtime was glorious after staying local for a year.
