Surely the hospitals must be starting to thin out. There are 25% less folk in them from the middle of last month. Then patients can get a bit more care as the ratios come down.
But there are still way too may older people going around with their noses poking out. Someone (friends/family) should point out to them that the masks are useless when doing this.

She has turned a corner, thank goodness, she is responding to treatment. She is a lot happier and so am I.

That's good news.
Yes, lots of folk, of all ages, with masks below noses, and on the tram in Manchester yesterday I shared a carriage with 3 separate young men with no masks on. I was glad to get off after 5 mins.

She’s home. Still very ill but coping, pneumonia is still there.She lives on her own and not much support especially with her still proving positive for COVID.An ambulance took her home late in the afternoon to a cold house and it was snowing.In normal times she would have been kept in hospital for longer.Still she’s home now and hopefully she will gradually improve. Long COVID is on the cards, doctors have told her this.

So relieved to hear that your friend has turned a corner. I understand that coming home alone to a cold empty house can't have been nice but anything's better than the alternative.
As an aside, and without any wish at all to hijack the original thread, the effects go beyond those who actually catch Covid. A work colleague of mine was due to have gall bladder surgery in early January, but this was delayed because her local hospital was just about overcome with Covid patients. She was finally admitted last week but developed a pulmonary embolism (basically a blood clot in her lungs) and I was told this morning that she passed away on Friday night. She was 51.
Who can say whether this would have happened anyway had her surgery not been delayed and she had not been forced to spend so much time resting whilst waiting for it, but it can't have helped.
Stay safe everyone. x

My friend is still very ill at home but improving slowly. She has oxygen and medication. She is being supported brilliantly by the NHS. She is being looked after by our hospital’s remote COVID team. They constantly check on her during the day, the doctor rings every day.She gives them readings of her oxygen levels regularly plus blood pressure and other readings.
She is fighting and hopefully she is over the worst.
