Covid deniers are scumbags

[BlueFlyAway]

I was reading a thread here on mumsnet that made me cry so much and it hammered home just how serious the virus is. Young people seriously sick in hospital and dying. It's bad at any age and I lost a second cousin before her time due to covid but its particularly bad when it's hitting younger people.

The virus never came directly to my door but I know it's real. I am hating the restrictions and the lockdown so much but I'm following the public health rules all the same but I am finding it hard but I don't intentions of breaking the rules.

People who play this virus down as if it's nothing - covid deniers - they are scumbags. I know the virus can be mild for some people but it's not for everyone.

Another example; a patient presented with 'temperature and cough' - diagnosis was 'probable Covid'. Again in the middle of a pandemic it is most likely patient did have Covid, but diagnosis was not concrete.

Altlife if this concerns you, it might be worth asking one of the qualified staff to run you through it just to set your mind at rest.

Whatever a patient's presenting condition, their diagnosis is almost always query x/y/z until it has been confirmed by tests and other investigations. Treatment is usually started whilst waiting for confirmation.
