Is this true? If your child gets it they get taken off without you?

[ImfinallyaMummy]

It's doing the rounds on Facebook and wondered if it was just to scaremonger?

It is and was confirmed here on MN earlier by a couple of HCP’s.

No it’s absolutely not true.

No. There was a thread about this earlier.

The typos in the Facebook post are a bit of a giveaway if you ask me.

I'm not sure I'd trust a sign with such a poor grasp of grammar tbh

No it’s not true. Dr Ranj was on This Morning and clarified what would happen if a child got it. It’s scaremongering

No it’s not true at all.

Thanks everyone. This is scary enough without people making stuff up!

I got to the incorrect use of "their" and have written it off as bollocks.

Fake news

@Cornettoninja - no it’s not true.

.

There's a mum locally whose toddler has it and she is at the hospital with him. He is very poorly though

No!!!

I think a lot of is need to stop believing everything we read on social media because it is so much in our faces right now. 90% of the stuff currently out there is fake.

This is a very interesting read about how these posts and messages are created, using the current Coronavirus pandemic as an example:

When I first read it I knew it was fake news...
Things to look out for - poor spelling and grammar, sensationalist content, no link to an official body like a .gov page or a police force website, and in my case it's the people that are always reposting this stuff - you will know who in your friends list falls into that category...

It makes me annoyed as well because they are causing work for official bodies to refute this crap rather than get on with their already busy job communicating about the real news we need to know...

Exactly this has just been discussed on Sky News

If a child contracts CV, the assumption is that the parents will have been in such close contact previously that it is assumed they’d been sufficiently exposed to it anyway so insisting on them being split up would be pointless so it doesn’t happen

Omg, I just realised how my post reads - I meant it is scaremongering not that it’s true.

Sorry

I'd seen it a couple of times including once by a social worker friend so I assumed it as true.
@Olawisk what's the source of your info? I'd like to use that to counteract it next time I see it.

Our local hospital says that one adult support per patient in paediatrics and maternity only. (I assume the kids go to paediatrics but happy to be corrected)

this bit may not be true today for children, but I'm not so sure.

My good friend's DF died a few days ago, not virus related, and he died alone. The family were not allowed to be with him in the ICU. That is absolutely true.

Tragic, thinking of a loved one dying alone.

A friend of my daughter has a parent whose a paramedic and she said it's not true but only 1 parent will be able to visit the child in hospital with no swapping over. And if the parent shows symptoms they will then be told to go home and isolate with no visits for anyone in the household to the child in hospital.

Not true here. I know a family whose 15 year old daughter has it and they spent tome with her in hospital

Stop getting your information from Facebook memes ffs
