I’ve been quiet because I’ve spent the past two days on a paediatric ward with possibly-appendicitic (?) #Foxcub. We’re home now, she seems to have had a weird infection which is slowly improving, but couple of things of to say…
(Everyone leaves a hospital either so relieved and happy they’re evangelical about the NHS, or in pain of some sort which can make them rage at it. I am in first camp. But will *try* to limit this to facts.)
1. In the space of 48 hours we saw 7 doctors. GP, paediatrician, surgeon, junior doc, registrar, another jr and surgeon registrar. A dozen nurses. Sonographers. And there is no way on EARTH an insurance policy, or my income, would otherwise have got us more than 2 or 3 of them.
I am more than happy for #foxcub to go back to her nursery when it opens next week, because the chances of a child dying of covid are 1 in 5million.
The chance of her being struck by lightning in the UK is 1 in 1.2m. So, y'know.

Teachers are fare more at risk; pupils' families with underlying health conditions; elderly relatives with childcare responsibilities. That's who it's worth worrying about. The children, if they can go, will benefit hugely and face very little risk at all.
