As we approach the second wave the main thing I learned from writing Lost to the Virus is that if your loved one is in their 50s+, still very sick after a week, high temp, not eating - go to hospital. Many died because they didn& #39;t want to make a fuss (and 111 said to stay home)

PS Please tell your parents, aunties, uncles this - by the times things get bad enough to need hospitalisation it& #39;s often too late. A few days can make all the difference. It& #39;s not embarrassing, they& #39;re not wasting NHS time. Force them to go. They could be hypoxic and not realise

And if they still won& #39;t go to hospital - please send them this and ask them to reconsider. Femi was healthy. He was told to stay home by 111. His family are devastated. They don& #39;t want this to happen to other families. Go to hospital! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/sep/23/blue-lips-and-black-skin-did-a-standard-111-question-help-cause-olufemi-akinnolas-death-from-covid-19">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2...
