Interesting and yes, real concerns about lack of support and resources. Thanks for the ref, and have read. And how was it ever the case that often frail and elderly people, those at highest risk, were discharged from hospitals into care homes without testing? No words, just a sense of rage.
I’m so pleased your friend has been discharged and on the mend, must have been terrifying for all concerned.
And I know, there’s something about London marathon day which is truly special….one day

I have a couple of friends who are nurses and a friend who has been hospitalised (and is out again and well) and it’s absolutely horrific but a lot of that is down to the lack of support and resources, so no way are the media going to stir that up, I’d suggest. There is some detail in the Phil Whittaker column in the New Statesman – I’m not sure if that is put out on their website though as I have a subscription.

And good news on the gentle running. I was sad to miss being in the crowds supporting my friends. I will go down whenever they end up running it anyway.
