Visiting people in hospital

It was good enough for people visiting people on end of life care in care homes and also all their staff had to do one daily.

I’m only quoting what is common knowledge Flowerpower. It sometimes makes you wonder if they were just going through the motions because they had to, because they all knew about it.

I know you are OGF but it makes no sense. At the height of the pandemic I was not allowed (like thousands of others) to visit my very elderly Mum in her care home. Rules are rules and I had to accept them. Yet I used to bump into staff when I was out shopping and when cafes were allowed to reopen I actually sat on the next table to some of them! It was the same in hospitals - staff carrying on their lives as normal outside, mixing with people and potentially catching or passing on covid.

When Mum went on to end of life care I was allowed in, in full PPE, LF tested daily etc but those months without seeing her were dreadful for both of us and on reflection, unnecessary just as my brother in law who was not allowed to see his wife in hospital for two weeks but he was allowed in at the end of the “rules” and she passed away!
