Coronavirus
Re: Coronavirus
Read the article. Cant see what is wrong with asking people to stay at home rather than wander around , often each day, to get bread, newspaper, bar of chocolate.
Surely it is irrefutable that if people stay home transmission is reduced. Surely it is better to not have a legal home lockdown and instead implore folk ( sheeple?) to stay home.
What would you do? Just have everyone carrying on as pre Covid?

I wonder if those politicians and their cronies believe their own lies.

Re: Coronavirus
But meanwhile flights are still pouring into the UK and it was .O.K to allow an unvaccinated 100 year old man and his family to fly to Barbados for a holiday during a global pandemic...seems like many are carrying on as normal one rule and all thatolive wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:10 pm Read the article.

'Use up the food in your freezers'. That's a bit like the equivalent of 'Let them eat cake' and look what happened to the person who said that.

I'm still trying to get through all the tins of Spam and dried Pasta that I bought in the 2008 banking crisis.

At only 38 years of age. She would have been better off taking her chances with Covid.

Re: Coronavirus
Apparently according to the "ultra reliable" DM Covid19 cases are plummeting in the U.S with a 44% decline in past three weeks and their "experts" say its Nothing to do with any Vaccine and infections declining globally by 30% also.
Re: Coronavirus
Face to face doctors appointments are back on from March 2nd according the Spanish press reports
Re: Coronavirus
I mentioned that on the vaccination thread this morning as I'd also seen that. We shall wait and see ..... I've had to wait a week for a phone appointment on the 2 March but my Dr could be on holiday this week (half term here?).
The phone appointments haven't been too bad and have saved getting up and ready plus the journey when I've only needed results or a change in medication. When I was really ill though it was a pain to wait a few days for the phone appointment then a few more days to actually be seen.
Would be nice if the hospital appointments now start to come through (after 6 weeks of waiting for a date, and friends have been waiting even longer).

Re: Coronavirus
we had a missed call this morning which looked like the hospital ringing with an appointment. They didn't ring back.

This article, which no one could object to I hope, is positive even though it makes no conclusions:

Re: Coronavirus
I check Clicsalud each morning using my digital signature as that will show all appointments. In the past we've been notified by post but we don't check the box more than once a week so rely on the Clicsalud site. I hope it is your appointment coming through.

Re: Coronavirus
I agree Katy. There will be many extra deaths due to late diagnosis or just lack of treatment of other diseases. The mammogram programme seems to be working as normal here as I've been called to a mobile unit. Whether any follow-up treatment would be quick if needed though, I don't know.
My trapped nerve is not life-threatening but I would have liked to have been seen before now as I have lost muscle strength in my bad leg and possibly need physio to be able to walk again. I had considered going private, but when we were paying privately before being on the system here, we didn't get particularly good service, so I have just been waiting for the NHS here to sort me out.

Re: Coronavirus
Families appointments at velez have been ongoing. Another due next month. Although we had two missed calls by a very long number which from research could have been them.
A friend was diagnosed with B.cancer around the begining of lockdown last year. Treatment started straight away at velez and has been ongoing until last month when she was given the all clear. Its was caught after a mamogram which took place during lockdown. Thankfully caught very early without a lump even been there. They are thanking their lucky stars they werent in the uk. And think things could have been different if they were.
Theres no excuse for delaying scans and treatments. You think if it was a consultants family member they would be putting up with it? Hardly. A friends daughter is a nurse at a big teaching hospital in the north of the uk. Shes been sent home early several times because she has nothing to do ontop of making tictok videos. Theres hardly anyone in the wards been treated. While those working in ICU maybe run off their feet theres a heck of alot of others who are doing hardly anything while patients are missing scans and treatments for conditions that are far more deadly than covid.

Re: Coronavirus
I recently had a blood test and the doctor wanted to refer me to the kidney specialist. I was expecting to wait 6 months but I got an appointment in the post this morning for 6 weeks time and it was a normal referral rather than an urgent case. And the appointment is with the head of the kidney department at the new university hospital in Granada so things seem to be improving.
