COVID patients ‘begging for a vaccination' moments before they are put on life support, senior nurses reveal.

Too little too late. And minimal empathy left.

Thought of you today Andyy, listening to the 2 nurses talk about treating COVID patients

I'm not treating them yet but I'm considering volunteering.

I said elsewhere, but last Friday I spent 6hr calling my 35 staff to let them know they might be sent to covid units starting tomorrow. As you can imagine, a few toughies, but largely varied levels of distress. Tears etc. Mostly women with kids at home, vulnerable parents, a couple have husband's who are very sick. If I didn't have to manage the department itself I'd probably go just so they know they aren't alone.

Wife caring for someone in ICU who 'recovered' from COVID-19. That is to say she doesn't have covid anymore. But her lungs are so stuffed she will never get off the ventilator. Just giving her a few days for her kids to understand, sink it in and say goodbye. She's 51 with a history of asthma - that's all.

There's more to living than only surviving!

I'm 66yo asthmatic and diabetic. (and fully vaccinated)


I'm not scared of death but I am scared of dying.


Living like a hermit ATM.


Andy, thank you for your service and pass on my thanks to your crew as well.

Thanks '65 that's very kind of you and I feel a bit sheepish.

I should note, said lady above was obviously not vaccinated.

Anyone who thinks this illness is for the older/frail is a bit naive.

Vaccination is the best way to improve your own outcome.

New mutations of COVID-19, such as the Delta strain, are "getting better" at transmitting through the air, a study has found.

People infected with a later variant of COVID-19 put 43 to 100 times more virus into the air when breathing than those who were infected with the original strains of the virus, according to the University of Maryland's School of Public Health.

The researchers also found that loose-fitting cloth and surgical masks reduced the amount of virus that gets into the air around infected people by about half.
