Anyone here having direct experience with the NHS because of coronavirus yet?
A friends wife has been ill for the past 7 days now, high temperature, persistent cough, some shortness of breath. They’ve been in contact with 111 multiple times over the course of the past week and been let down with call backs, told testing was not going to happen because she hadn’t been to any of the named countries on the list (they had just travelled back from Mexico via Heathrow). On Thursday they were told to go to an out of hours doctor - pretty mind boggling decision what with the contagious potential and contradictory advice online - but they followed the advice. Dr there said it could be corona but couldn’t send for test based on her travel history.
Now tonight they’re waiting for an ambulance as the shortness of breath has worsened.
