Thanks. Sadly we just heard she will not make it and is being moved to Hospice.

  Must be awful - to lose someone from covid over the last 12 months would be bad, but to be so close to the finish line....

    Yeah....I can only imagine what they are going through. That was why I posted that comment, I can't do anything for her, but I can hope that others will see that and take heed.

  So sorry to hear this. My mother also died of covid, and I also feel there's a warning in her story for everyone. She'd been sad for several months from my father dying, so during the summer she went to visit her sister abroad. Until then she'd been shielding at home. They both knew about the virus but thought it wouldn't happen to them, arranging group meals with old friends. Three of them went to ICU, and everyone tested positive. It's of course up to people themselves what risk they want to take, but with this disease in particular the numbers are deceiving. The general figures seem so low but are actually a heck of a lot higher than flu. They're also markedly higher if you're in a risk group. It's also terrible because as family you think the odds are okay, most people at every stage (cough, hospital, icu) survive, until the doctor calls you and says it's tonight.
