Off Topic Corona virus

Sorry to hear all your both going through infidel. I’ve thought for a long time that nursing home staff are indeed unsung heroes in the crisis. Over here some people were even questioning the high infection/death rate in nursing homes and almost partly blaming staffing levels. Think everyone realises now that the nursing homes, residents and staff were treated almost as an afterthought by most governments. Authorities only woke up when the figures were virtually off the scale. Great your wife’s on the mend mate. Pass on my admiration and appreciation for the work they do as my mum suffered dementia some years back and know what it’s like only too well

 

Keep going infidel. You're doing a great job. Keep your chin up and keep your wife safe. Plenty of rest and keep hydrated.

 

All the best mate, take care of yourself and family.

 

Really sorry to hear Infidel, it must be a nightmare trying to look after and comfort someone while trying to stay safe yourself. Glad to hear she's over the worst, I hope she gets stronger day by day. We'll all be thinking about you bud.

 

Sorry to hear that mate, stay strong and keep doing what you are doing.
There are several unsung heroes around the globe, the care home workers, the supermarket staff (especially the cashiers that are in direct contract with customers), bus drivers, ambulance crews, bin men, etc etc.
The care home workers also have to deal the emotional care of people that haven't seen any of their families for 6 weeks - must be heartbreaking!!!!

 

Can only echo the comments of others Infidel - glad she’s over the worst, stay strong fella

There are many heroes and heroins,,, and most of them in low paid jobs where they wouldn’t expect to have to front up to risks like this. One of my clients is a home care company... they have to send people in to help those with corona... and send carers in to those who don’t have it but are high risk groups. Fear of catching and fear of giving.

big up to all these people

 

Sorry to hear what you are both going through. My mother has dementia and is in a home and I have no end of admiration for the care workers who look after her and others like her even in normal times. Sadly, what they do has never been rewarded with the sort of pay and recognition that they deserve.

I hope that your wife continues to make a good recovery. Make sure that she doesn't try to do too much too soon. The recovery time with Corona can be quite long, and there can be false dawns along the way. Good luck to you both.

 

So sorry to hear this mate. Hope you manage to keep virus-free whilst you look after your wife. I'm so glad our youngest came home to isolate with us, as it was always my worry that my wife would be whipped into a home if I went down with it, as she couldn't look after herself properly, far less me.

About 7 years ago, we lost our fathers to dementia within 6 months of each other. Different homes, but the level of care was similarly breathtaking to observe. Not just nursing, but care. Real care, at a level I'd not witnessed before. Not to put down other nurses, but you really need something extra to deal with dementia sufferers. Stay safe (well, as safe as possible).

 

Would just like to say collectively to all the messages sent, many many thanks to each and all of you, proud to be connected to this bunch of people and that includes geezer

 

Sounds like you’ve had a rough time of it, glad the Mrs has been allowed home now mate

 

Jeez, you've really been put through the wringer. Glad your good lady is through the worst and hope she's fighting fit again soon.

 

Infidel, glad the worst is over must of been hard.
MOT.

 

All the best mate and full respect to your wife and all her fellow workers.

 

Keep going mate, don't forget to look after yourself too. All the best to your wife for a speedy recovery.

Who wants one

 

Nice, but fcuking useless for protection against this virus. I note there is no mention of FPP value, far less than it being graded a '3' (the only acceptable level for the NHS for this virus). You'd be as well using your scarf, which is equally useless.

 

We had our five point plan announced plan announced yesterday. Worth you while having a look as uk has been a week or two behind Ireland in most decisions. The dates are subject to infection levels and other things continuing to improve but at least gives a possible timescale of when we might have some normality

We have never been behind you

 

And I’m sure you’d rather have us in front of you where you can see us
