Relaxing lockdown
Yet again the care sector has been left behind with the relaxation of Covid Rules.
In my MIL’s home the situation is in my mind horrendous.
Only limited visits by appointment in residents rooms with full PPE (Mask Gloves and Tunic)
Now starting another inevitable lockdown as a result of cases so back to impossible video calls.
The home is fully double vaccinated but with a large number of Residents, Staff and Visitors the incidence of cases is almost inevitable.
The cases since vaccination have all been asymptomatic with no ill effect. All the scientific evidence shows that, even vulnerable, oldies are less likely to suffer serious ill effect but we are treating it as if it was a deadly pathogen to anyone who may come into contact with it.
People in their twilight years deserve better. Quality of life is often more important than its length
I might be very unlucky but I hazard a guess it’s not an uncommon situation
