My friend who is a single mum and lives on her own has just come down with Coronvirus and her two children have tested positive. She doesn't have any relatives and her mum lives abroad.
It got me thinking (for which read worrying) what happens if a single mother with no family or other support and totally absent father gets Covid and gets so bad they have to be hospitalised?
If the children are also positive, no one is going to 'volunteer' to have them in their own family so what happens to the children?
Do they get put into hospital too? Even if social services gets involved, who actually looks after Covid positive children without risking getting it themselves?
