Uncle-in-law in ICU now with Covid-19.
Trying not to think about how angry I am with people who did not take this disease seriously.
He's been shielding since March as high-risk, been really careful, but got talked into going out for a meal 2 weeks ago
Just want to smash things
Went into the boiler room and had a big shout
They are trying to get his oxygen levels up but he's not a good candidate for ventilation.
Hanging in though, he's a fighter

Nothing to do but wait & hope he can recover his breath

Don't want him to be just another statistic in the catalogue of failure by Johnson's Government
Uncle-IL update:

Not a good night in critical care.
Hard to sleep in an oxygen mask + some other complications.
Hoping he'll do better when conscious today.

Please take care out there.
We can stop this if we look after each other.

Not going well. UIL is exhausted 😣

Trying to keep positive & support family but just so angry that so many are still having to go through this because of the selfish stupidity of others

We don't have to just learn to live with Covid-19.
Can stop the spread & save lives #MaskUp
YOU STUPID FUCKING SCAMDEMIC COVID DENYING ANTIMASKER ARSEHOLES.
CURSE YOU ALL FOREVER, I HOPE YOU NEVER SLEEP AGAIN

Now there's nothing to be done apparently and my aunt-in-law can't even visit her husband to say goodbye because she's ill with Covid-19 at home herself
And now he's gone & there is a hole in the world.

He didn't have to die, if we had a competent Government & other people had been less selfish we could've kept Covid levels down as other countries have done and he'd probably still be alive.

Don't know what to do with my anger
I would like to thank the consultant who went and got Uncle Tony a diet coke from the shop after they took him off the oxygen when there was nothing more to be done & whoever it was on the ward who cued up some Eric Clapton on their phone for him to leave the world listening to.
