Risk

Linda from Henderson

I was on my local walk today and outside the local shops opposite Waitakere Hospital, when a young woman in a thin hospital nightie came across the road and "welcomed" two reles/friends/cuzzies in a car. I wonder how all the mandatory hospital hygiene, no visitors under lockdown, masks … View moreI was on my local walk today and outside the local shops opposite Waitakere Hospital, when a young woman in a thin hospital nightie came across the road and "welcomed" two reles/friends/cuzzies in a car. I wonder how all the mandatory hospital hygiene, no visitors under lockdown, masks etc would be undermined by an act like this.
It just takes one stupid act, as we have seen this time around.

😷Now we wait ...😷

Fiona from Henderson

Well, so much news in such a short period and not all of it good.
Wednesday was madness x10 in Auckland; the testing stations were so overwhelmed by the flood of 'need to be tested NOW' people.

Well, so much news in such a short period and not all of it good.
Wednesday was madness x10 in Auckland; the testing stations were so overwhelmed by the flood of 'need to be tested NOW' people.
From what I heard on Old Fart's FM (Talkback ZB), so many were turned away if they didn't show any symptoms by the Police, the people at the testing stations etc ...
One poor woman who has autoimmune problems and has been unwell for a few days was also turned away, even though her doctor had told her to go and get tested. She had been in the queue for 3+ hours already😥
Well, now this family of four have spread their infected tentacles far and wide across so many companies, and it has transpired that the company my husband works for is now seriously included.
So, off we went and joined the long queue of cars so we could get tested today. We will have to wait for a couple of days for the results.
In the meantime, we may also find ourselves in 14 days self isolation (just waiting for confirmation from the health authorities), all because of this selfish woman who chose to go to work each and every day, knowing that she had sniffles, fever and a cough!!!😠
No one can tell that they didn't know that they were ill with either a cold, the flu, in fact anything. How dare they travel and put so many of our lives at risk!!!
My blood is boiling and I want her and her family arrested for what they have done to so many families and companies now!!!!😠😠😠
The numbers of positives has risen to 19 (at this moment) and the numbers are rising rapidly!!!
