Really confused with the mixed messages we get over the current situation with Covid.
We are told that virtually all older people in care homes have received their first vaccination.
We are told that the first vaccination is confidently considered to protect against serious complication of Covid.
We are increasingly having older people vaccinated so a lot of visitors to care homes will equally have had their vaccine.
We know that 30+% of care home staff are still not vaccinated.
So what is the risk of visits to residents. Or is it a risk to the staff who in honesty should have been forced to vaccinate....
I accept that any person in a home is vulnerable, but that has always been the case. Normal years it is Flu and Norovirus.
The lack of interaction with family is actually more destructive now than any risk of Covid!
Why won't the media ask these difficult questions?
