My severely disabled sister who has immuno suppressant infusions monthly has to go for a scan a few days ago. Now she has come down with a virus and she’s really ill. We suspect she caught it at the hospital. There is no protection for our vulnerable any more. Hospitals are unsafe.

@CarolynStirling Agree completely. My parents got Covid for the first time over Christmas/NY because Mum was in the hospital, and dad was visiting.

@CarolynStirling my sister caught covid in hospital last year. First time she's had it. She's okay, but she should not have caught it in a hospital.

@CarolynStirling very sorry to hear about your sister. A friend caught Covid (for the first time) at a cancer treatment centre :(.

@CarolynStirling I'm sorry to hear it. I can't understand how t became so normal not to care. I know at our local hospital if it's Covid that makes a patient seriously ill they are nursed in a negative pressure room. But patients who are there for other reasons, or staff who feel well.enougb to work can go around being an infection risk. It makes no sense to me when we could do quite a lot to reduce transmission but don't want to think about it
