Response to first 2 UK cases of coronavirus not robust enough

[MissPoldark]

The hotel is still open and accepting visitors. Apparently they weren’t immediately informed that 2 of their guests had been diagnosed.
All public areas should have been deep cleaned but there is no suggestion this has been done.

No details are being released about where the tourists had visited (because of “patient confidentiality” - bureaucracy is dangerous) How on earth can anyone in York know whether they’ve been put at risk?
How can they trace possible contacts without making this information public?

I remember being one of the posters who didn’t take Covid seriously at this point, and made a couple of dismissive comments. Sadly for me, I got ill with Covid and have now been suffering with long Covid for 10 months.

I remember reading this last year while I was on holiday My husband thought I was nuts but I booked Tesco’s slots something I had never done before and ordered face masks and hand gel while sat on the beach😁 Crazy to think how those posters who were seen as a bit OTT were actually pretty much spot on .

This was me, and people thought I was nuts

This thread is a year old and so much has happened since then we're going to close this to new messages.
