fraybentos1 146 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I think in a month or 6 weeks ish we will be in much better shape re hospital figures/ deaths. This is England only but clearly a huge amount still coming from the 75+ category who will all have one dose soon enough. Time will tell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

st dan 456 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Not to be insensitive at all, but outside of care home residents and breakouts in those settings, how come so many 85+ are still being admitted to hospital? On the basis that these won’t be going out to work etc, and we are all still in a lockdown so there is nowhere for them really to be visiting. I would like to think people aren’t visiting their elderly relatives in person at this stage of the pandemic with the new strain still so rife. Are some picking up the virus whilst getting out getting the vaccinations do we think? Or are they coming in with non-Covid issues and then picking it up whilst in hospital? I can’t think of any other explanations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t think of any other explanations. How many 85+ people do you think can cope in daily life without at least some sort of support from family or care providers? Be it care, cleaning, washing, food shopping etc. It's the main reason why the whole 'lock down the vulnerable/elderly only' argument doesn't work. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Naivety on my part as my family members who were lucky enough to make they age were more or less self sufficient right until they passed, but obviously appreciate this isn’t the norm or the case for the majority. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
