My ex-mother-in-law, in her nineties, had a fall & went to hospital to be checked & was sent home.

Shortly after, she had another fall & broke her hip.

She's now in hospital again & the test they did the first time has come through - positive for covid-19 !

Her two sons have had the virus, & one has died.

She never used to leave the house & all the family who visit her have been tested negative.

Could it have been the carers who visit who passed it on ?

Or did she get it from her first brief hospital visit ?

Last summer there was a lot of talk about carers spreading it. I'm not sure how things stand at the moment. As for hospitals, my sister-in-law went into hospital late last year for about 12 days. She went in for a non covid related problem, but was in a ward with three covid patients. She was tested negative on release, but within a few days not only then showed positive, but infected three other people. My friend's mum went into hospital at the age of 90 with dementia. She got covid. She's still in hospital after nearly a year. The family have been called several times and told to prepare for the worst, but each time she has rallied round.

Ivermectin:

In recent years, ivermectin has shown anti-viral activity against a broad range of viruses in vitro. It has been hypothesised that ivermectin may exert its anti-viral activity against SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting IMPα/β1-mediated nuclear import of viral proteins.5 IMPα is part of the Imp (importin) superfamily of proteins, which play a role in the movement of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell, essential in key cellular processes (such as differentiation and development), as well as being critical to disease states such as viral disease and oncogenesis.

My first vaccination of the Pfizer vaccine was on 8th January.

Had my second one today [11th Feb 21].

No queues, straight in & out again.

That was quick. Mine is likely to be 12 weeks apart.

For a Multiple Sclerosis patient like myself is Corona a little bit difficult too.
Nobody knows the "real vaccination" for my MS disease...and I'm 59 years old, but so what

Peace & Love Matt

Sorry to hear about your ex mother in law Colin. A lot of the spread in Australia was through hotel quarantine staff also working in aged care centres.

Colin B wrote:I already posted that the 'induced coma' wasn't quite that.
It's just that he's so heavily sedated that he's asleep most of the time.
He seems to be responding to his treatment, but has a way to go yet.
Thanks for asking.

As his kidneys had stopped working, they switched his ventilator off.

He's died.

What a joy...my first CORONA injection is tomorrow (the only reason is/was because i'm a risk patient, i have MS and some other "little" Diseases too). Man, it takes so long; I'm 59 years old! What happens with younger ones...?! Injection in about 3-4 years?! This is all so crazy...

BS, everyone who wants a shot will have it in this year.
12 months in the past it wasn't even sure that there will be a vaccine against corona.
