My partner’s dad had a positive test last week - BAME, 70s, underlying health conditions, won’t go to hospital because his best friend went in and didn’t come out. Lives alone in Camberwell, breathing heavily and not eating, so she takes some soup round. Knocks on the door, leaves it in his porch, stands back and waits to make sure he comes to get it... He comes to the door breathing heavily and has had an accident. What do you do in such a situation? There are no fucking rules for this game.
She fortunately has two visors with her from work so puts them both on, goes in, helps him to change, cleans up and makes sure he eats. No gloves, so washes hands, leaves and sanitises. Goes home, undresses in the hall, clothes into the washing machine, shower, sanitises visors... and breathe.
She only had a test five days ago (negative) because she’s a teacher and had a headache and cough. Chances of getting another one on Xmas eve?
Btw she’s a fucking trooper and awesome
