COVID-19

They seem to have a 1 size fits all box , i have to drink lactosse free milk - avoid Potatoes - etc , despite me filling in the online form i still get food that's not healthy for me , i've pointed out a couple of times on the website but they still send it . My biggest problem though is missed hospital visits ( vital ) and my perscriptions , prior to lockdown i asked for an extra months supply , my doctor wouldn't do it because he said my treatment needed constant " monitoring " , no contact since 18th of march . Blood test's heart and lung function test's are presently done over the phone , with a " how do you feel " routine .

 

The withdrawal of healthcare for the everyday people who need health care services that have been withdrawn due to Covid 19 is a disgrace, I would not be surprised if more people died of non treatment than of the virus

 

My sister in law is undergoing cancer treatment , and is in isolation . Her last 2 visits have been to the Yorkshire clinic at Bingley , she normally goes to the BRI , i do think though that the MSM have filled people with fear about attending Hospitals though , but when you see the large drop in A&E appointments i wonder how many of these are really necessary .

 

@Dennis , I agree but i wonder how many arn't turning up through genuine worries ? I dont live in a Large city so the hospital care is a bit limited , my nearest Large hospital is Carlisle but its a 70 mile round trip , so most of my appointments are at the local " cottage " hospital which although handy is limited in the services in can provide .

 

This seems to sum up our situation to a tee. Well worth fifteen minutes of everyone's time.

The majority of NHS trusts took the advice from around late March to cancel all non urgent outpatient appointments and routine surgeries to free up the staff and beds to deal with Covid 19.
We currently have no healthcare really despite the government saying go if you need to. Yes people go if you’ve lost an arm in an accident but the general healthcare has literally disappeared. It was probably the right call but a sad state of affairs it was the only way we could cope.

 

It wasn't the right call at all and Hancock urgently needs sacking. Other things can cause death and treatment for those things wee ignored. It was only until recently when they felt the NHS was coping it was like remember we are here for all. The message was wrong! Everyone who needed to go to hospital should have been told from the start that they should.

@Offside hope you're ok mate and I wish you well.

 

I agree is not the right call in that sense. But due to such poor planning and preparation we literally had no choice but to move doctors and nurses over to protect the hospitals from being overrun. it’s catch 22 but it’s a mess our government created and it was our only option I believe

 

Re: A&E visits, my cousin is a senior paramedic, and part of her job is to make decisions on where to send ambulances etc..They’re not getting the usual idiots ringing up or visiting because they’ve got an headache, definitely...But, as you can imagine, road accidents have been almost nonexistent, as have workplace accidents and sport related injuries. But, the biggest drop is alcohol related, no ones going out and getting pissed up on a Weekend anymore.

 

Just seen Thorpe Primary has had to close due to a positive test for one of the staff

Just 11 schools are ‘opening’ in Bradford today

 

Far too early. If I had kids that age I wouldn’t be sending them

 

We do, and we aren’t.

 

Good on you. Know a few doing the same. September really id say

 

Nothing to do with them contracting a virus, more to do with a negative experience.

 

A decision made easier by an excellent online learning platform the school have set up.

 

my lad has been at nursery the whole time so we can work

 

My wife and I are classed as key workers in a family business. My wife decided to temporarily stop working so she could keep the kids at home and school them.
It’s was a hard decision and not really my choice but I left it up to her to decide.
