Rare Eddie99 Posted February 2, 2021 #14904 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It’s very mild, almost dry but fairly unpleasant here this morning. A strong wind whipping up hair and blowing the fine moisture in the air into your face. Add that it is sopping wet underfoot and that makes it not great. However, there are lots of snowdrops and crocus and I saw the first wild-growing narcissus this morning. All the best for tomorrow Graham 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowzz Posted February 2, 2021 #14909 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) The news reports are saying that Captain Tom's family are with him in hospital. Why is his family allowed to visit him when other patients are not allowed familial visits? When the elderly are in hospital, it seems only right that they should be allowed some personal visits, assuming PPE is used, but round here at least, there is a blanket ban on all hospital visits. I think Captain Tom should have his family round him, but so should everyone else in a similar position.

I do not know the inns & outs of this story Wowzz but the rules need to be more clear cut regardless of who you are . It makes me sad to think of how many have died in the ICU's alone with no family. I read reports of nurses trying to be with them in their final moments , so sad. Same as you Wowzz ,if true then something's amiss here . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as you Wowzz ,if true then something's amiss here . I am afraid it is true about the nurses, my eldest grand daughter (20) is a trainee nurse, and has done that job. She does three 13 hour shifts a week, and unsurprisingly has had covid. She has now had the Pfizer vaccine which she had a flu like reaction like many others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also once off the ship I could write a book on various food /café outlets and supermarkets antics I have seen . One was sweeping a floor and took food to a table once ready . Even in our country a few years ago our daughter she took a part time job in a well known fried chicken outlet . She was doing a stocktake of chicken and found a sealed bag that was out of date. She let the regular staff know and all they did was use it there and then . As for back on a ship, I reported a waiter for walking out of a loo without washing his hands and went back to serving food ! To be fair they stopped him and sent him to wash his hands .

Our local hospital is the Royal Free and their motto is "no-one dies alone" but that means their passing is with a staff member not family. Very very sad.

Hospitals have their own rules on visiting. Avril Edited February 2, 2021 by Adawn47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril Our local Hospital restrictions are Due to coronavirus, they currently have visiting restrictions in place. No visitors are permitted apart from: one birth partner one visitor for patients with dementia or learning disabilities one visitor for child patients one visitor for patients at the end of life The one visitor must be the same person on each visit. I would have thought most hospitals are about the same .I have not read the story could it be he is in a private hospital ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know precisely what our local hospital's restrictions are, but sounds very similar to what a friend who works out our local hospital has told us. Her son's partner had a baby last week, and our friend wasn't allowed in to visit even though she work's on one of the (other) wards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a guess as I avoid hospitals at all costs. Could be because of his age and what he's done for the NHS they are being more lenient? Not forgetting he is now a Sir. On a more serious note though, I find it particularly worrying that all his family are around him and the media have been asked to give the family ''space and privacy'' Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
