Where do they think these kids have been the past half a dozen weeks, in isolation? We have had half the kids under 6 on the street in our house most of the holidays, sharing paddling pools in the garden, eating from the same pizza slices and hugging as young kids do. Everyone has been fine. I know of lots of children who have had covid over the summer and have been in isolation. Most have been okay but a couple have been pretty ill. It's probably worth pointing out that a cough was not present in the dozen or so kids I know that had it. High temperature, headache and lethargic were the main ones.

quilp Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Letter in the Times yesterday, the author being something of an expert and holding a view on vaccinating kids. Seems logical enough... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it difficult to believe that someone could be in ICU one day and at home the next day. Surely they’d go from ICU to a ward first?

We need to carry on regardless and let nature run it’s course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the stats, the number in ICU will be reduced if anyone dies, goes home or goes to another ward, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But according to Danoo they would have been in ICU on Sunday and sitting at home on Monday 🤷🏻♂️I just thought it seemed unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Sorry for being unfeeling, but from ICU it's ward or morgue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant news if the ICU patient has gone home and I wish them all the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
