Marshmallo Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) We'll no doubt have some clowns trying to say that she just enjoys the free WiFi at the hotel too much to go to the hospital more often.

superbigal Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) The UK appears still not to have made any mention of this treatment now approaching approval in the EU. Looks like the 1st major treatment since Remdesiver for the hospitals. https://www.brusselstimes.com/news/belgium-all-news/179511/belgium-takes-part-in-european-purchase-of-anti-coronavirus-drug-glaxo-smith-kline-sotrovimab/ Edit https://www.sps.nhs.uk/medicines/sotrovimab/ Edited July 30, 2021 by superbigal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in summary, she is highly distressed in the room with little clarity, the staff dont actually know all the ins and outs, theres no clear policy about getting her out if her fathers death is imminent and its unclear what will happen given her own dramatically declining mental health. Has had to go through lawyers and pleading directly to the health minister because her actual first request was denied? She isnt allowed her fully vaccinated american partner to support her through this awful time, but clearly this is all because the Scottish government just cares. But yeh that wee lassie in Majorca just wanted a holiday. Shame on any fucker who still holds that view. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Her argument appears to be Boris is just letting it rip so f**k it why have any restrictions at all? After getting the arranged visiting as per the restrictions in the place where her dad is. Of course its sad, of course it would be better if covid didn't exist but it does and that hospital has the well being of other patients to consider. It's a horrible situation but her entire argument and this hysterical frothing "story" is bollocks. Leapt upon and slobbered all over by the "I don't like Nicola or believe in the 'rona" gang with depressing if entirely predictable cynicism. 13 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: Remember when the simps were saying people would definitely be able to see dying family members no problem because these visits were valid reasons for leaving hotel quarantine?

They have to be bluffing - there's no other logical reason to introduce them other than encouraging uptake in vaccinations. We're already seeing some places down south refusing entry to unvaccinated people so this needs to get quashed as soon as possible to minimise the chances of similar happening here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what fucking world is allowing visits on day two and eight acceptable. To be accurate, she visited on day zero as well, so 3 visits in 10 days. At a very minimum she should be allowed to leave managed isolation for good after a negative test result on day 5, the balance of harm versus risk is being ignored.

She could visit on day two, and then wouldn’t be allowed to visit for a further five days. What an absolutely horrible post. She could be tested every day and be allowed far more frequent visits than having to sit in a hotel room for five days waiting on her Dad dying. That isn’t putting anyone at risk. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which places have been denying entry, out of interest? Fully believe that it's been happening, just I haven't yet encountered any examples of it. Agree fully that this is a scenario we all want to avoid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
