absolutely fuming......

ive just found out my dad knew  he had coronavirus at 930pm on thursday night(phone call from the hospital) and didnt tell my brother until 4PM ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...my brother had picked him up from hospital on thursday and then went to work all day yesterday.....my mum also has coronavirus.......

my brother went mad at them last night on the phone(he s now self isolating for 14 days with his family)and i picked up some food for myself and my mum and dad this morning with my missus...i asked should i get dad a paper and my mum said  "its ok he s been to the shop and bought one(paid in cash too!)" .......

so i went round and dropped the food off at the door and totally flipped....shouting and screaming at the pair of them on the driveway....my dad was shivering on the bed,he cant even speak.......

unbelievable..........words fail me utterly now.......

what the hells wrong with them?......if i find out he s gone to the shop again tomorrow for a paper im phoning the police......

[CleanClear]

Told ya, i had a fella with it give me cash. No way is it safe for anyone to go near anyone at all now until this blows over.

Heck Daz....😳

my dads got lung cancer(stage 4) so he s doomed anyway the selfish pr*ck.......i really havent got time for him anymore.......its my poor mum i feel sorry for having to try and keep him in.....he just wont stay at home.....

[Dave Willis]

Give him some rubber gloves?

[dazmond]

Give him some rubber gloves?

if i had a gun id shoot him in the head mate....

[Dave Willis]

I guess if he knows he won’t be around much longer then he doesn’t give a poop about anybody. You could point out what he is doing is a criminal offence. If news got out I would imagine the neighbourhood would burn his house down.

Seconded Take care. My sister lost two friends to it this week , its no longer a stat, its on your doorstep. Take care everyone.

Say he was your customer, you pick up the virus on your gloves, you get it on the steering wheel, you put it on the gearstick, your pole has it. You stop for lunch, whip off the gloves, do a bit of CIU texting, grab a sarnie, drink from your flask and so on.

Don't make any rash decisions, Daz. He's your Dad.
A lot of folk can't be trusted with the staying home thing.

[Status Check]

Daz, some old folk can't be told. I did some shopping for my 83 year Mum who has COPD. Took it around her house this morning around 10am. Knocked on the door, left the shopping on the doorstep and stepped back 2 metres. Mum answers and thanks me for the shopping. I tell her to put the shopping away, throw out the bags  then wash her hands. She then shouts my sister to come and pick up the shopping who has visited her this morning to check to see if she's ok! Unbelievable.

It's not as though he's been to Tesco though, is it?
That's where you get it. Most.

[deeege]

Jeez Daz that’s terrible mate. If it was only him he was endangering then that’s one thing but to be going to the shops and not following government guidelines is just downright selfish.

I hope your reaction convinced him to do the right thing from now on.

I'm not sure Boris has it.
I think it's a political stunt. It looks good that him and his team have it, but plough on, leading the country. He looked ok to me on that video link, as well.
I know he tested positive for the virus but I reckon his bird fixed that so she could have a week off from him.

My Dad had terminal cancer in 2015 (RIP) He was at home for most of his illness apart from the cancer treatment and the last 48 hrs he was alive. He had NHS healthcare workers coming to his house three times a day and on call if he needed them.

Is this the same for your dad Daz and have they been informed about his current position/state?

Best wishes by the way

They won't be able to see him because of the virus, Simon.
Isolation.
Family members can't spend the last few hours with their loved ones if they are in hospital, either.
The spread of the virus is more important than individuals, at the moment.
It's that serious.

Of course they will if a combination of cancer & CV means he needs critical emergency treatment he'd be going to A&E by ambulance or they'd be assessing him at home and making a decision on some kind of end of life treatment

[G Griffin]

Simon, you said healthcare workers coming to the house, though. That won't happen.
He might get an ambulance and then he'll end up in hospital in isolation.
Sorry to be doing this, Daz, but it needs saying.

Griff when you have terminal cancer you have a professional team looking after you from start to finish if your on your last legs they will be visiting you several times a day or admitting you to hospital. Sorry that's what I was referring to when I said healthcare workers.

Simon, my missus is a palliative care nurse and they can't visit anyone with the virus.
They have had to cancel visits to anyone with co-vid. And if he does end up in hospital, Daz's dad will be more than likely be in isolation.
It's terrible, mate.

My sister was telling me earlier how a friend of hers has had their chemo stopped because of corona. Corona comes first, cancer is second these days.

[G Griffin]

My sister was telling me earlier how a friend of hers has had their chemo stopped because of corona. Corona comes first, cancer is second these days.

They also stop chemo because it harms the immune system and leaves you more vulnerable to coronavirus.
Shit, isn't it?

Sorry to hear about your family situation Daz.

[NBwcs]

My daughters on the NHS frontline and unfortunately its true, all visitors have been stopped (except for birthing partners), and people are literally dieing  in hospital alone with no family present whether its corona virus or not. Its incredibly sad.

I don't think Boris getting it is a political stunt. It doesn't make sense. Think it through.

[Slacky]

Exactly, if he were trying to pull a stunt and then really did get it there'd be hell to pay.

[CleanClear]

I don't think Boris getting it is a political stunt. It doesn't make sense. Think it through.

Yep he's been non stop for about a month, from the crack of dawn facing one of the most awful times for any Prime minster. And it has shown on his face latley .Last thing he's gonna say is i'm knackered and need a break as all the NHS staff on 25K or whatever a year are about to work round the clock with no break taking a gamble with their own lives. And i never heard him cough, not once.

[G Griffin]

I don't have much time for what you say Daz, but i've seen it. And what shines through is that while everyone is worried over what way to go you smile on simplistically saying crack on and i've got 15k savings. I sort of feel sorry for you as you live on your own and i've no idea of the mental health effect on you. You go further and brag about speeding in your car as the roads are quiet, so good on ya you can do what you like. You changed your story from "I hope my Dad doesn't get it" to "i hope he dies, i hate him". I can tell you aint doing to well. Nothing you are saying is rational. The title of this post is "my parents just don't get it", for accuracy change it to "my parents got it" and acknowledge you your self are carrying on as normal potentially  spreading it, apple doesn't usually fall far from the tree.

There's tragic irony throughout this thread. It's very sad.
Mainly because of this modded virus and what it is doing to us physically and mentally. I don't think anyone, on here, means to be wrong.

It's not just your parents Daz a lot of people aren't getting it.
Couple next door with two pre school kids, last night the Grandparents rocked up in the car with another 3 of their kids carrying plates of food for a get together.
Couple opposite the Grandmother came yesterday and picked her two girls to take them for the day.
My missus has just come back from the shop having had a load of abuse for asking two blokes to stand back and stop breathing down her neck.
Numpties are everywhere.

No unnecessary journeys or social contact. They don't live together and he's still going home.
Now Daz might say that it's necessary because his spuds were full but the government might not.
He also went shopping with his girlfriend on Saturday and then went to his parents' house. His parents' have the virus.

cheers guys.....i think the heartbreaking thing about this is if my dad dies over the next week or so my younger brother wont be allowed to attend the funeral as he s self isolating for 14 days with his family......he s much closer to dad than ive ever been.......my other brother lives in surrey...im also not sure about the social distancing aspect of this either....as in giving my mum a hug...(shes recovered from the virus by the way).......

Daz, you shouldn't really be seeing your mum.
There's other things that you should you know, or need to know, so have a read up, mate. Seriously.
The forum might not be the best place to discuss them.

err....ive not seen my mum for over 3 weeks now apart from through the window griff(i dropped some groceries off for her on sat)......

dont forget its me thats  tried to keep my parents inside for the last 3 weeks but they just ignored it and went out shopping every day...

I am assuming his Mum is now self isolating - so what is wrong with him dropping groceries off for her? How else is she supposed to eat?

[dazmond]

ive been at my girlfriends house since last monday and im staying here for the forseeable future.....only nipping home to purify water and pick up some clothes.....its not against the rules as far as i can see(no one else at my flat).....anyway its not law just guidelines......

 when i went round to my mothers house on sat(to drop off some groceries) my girlfriend stayed in the car and neither of us had any contact with my mum,just dropped off bags at the door......

your taking my post out of context griff......i mean hugging my mum at my dads funeral(if he doesnt pull through)...as my mums recovered from the virus i think ill be ok to do it...in fact i dont think anyone could stop me

[zesty]

I think in that instance Daz, hugging your mum is inevitable, I cannot imagine not consoling my mum in that situation.

Hope your dad pulls through mate, although, in many ways, sometimes it’s just for the greater good that they pass away and are out of pain.

However you feel about him, if it is possible, try to make peace with him. (I realise that almost impossible whilst he’s in isolation, but you could maybe get a note to him)

You don’t want any regrets mate. Even if you don’t like him!

All the best mate.

No ,because I don't know what will happen with Daz's family. And neither do you.
His mum might not be able to attend because she has the virus. If his mum gets ill, she will be in isolation in hospital.
But of course, you know better.
If I tell Daz to do owt it's for his and his family's own good.

[Don Kee]

To be honest, I sometimes think Daz is a plank but in this instance I can’t see what he’s done wrong here...


He’s been living with his mrs since Monday so only interacting with people in that household and dropping his mum groceries outside her front door...the same thing a lot of volunteers are doing.

The blokes mums been ill and his dad looks worse (sorry Daz), give the bloke a break here.

(Obviously speeding ‘just because you can’ is proper bone, and I’m not getting involved in the ‘should he be working’ argument.)

A lot of this is down to miscommunication maybe?

I understand but Daz is getting stick for what he might do in the future.

Up to this point, he says he hasn’t had any contact with his mum in 3 weeks...
I can’t see anywhere where Daz says he’s actually gone up and given his mum a great big cuddle, only that he’d be gutted if he couldn’t should events go south...

That’s thought police isn’t it?
(Granted I may have missed something, I can’t be bothered going back too far into posts, not been on the forum all day)

I wasn't telling what to do. I was concerned because both your mum and dad had tested positive.
There are a lot of awful restrictions on people with symptoms, let alone the virus, and I didn't want you taking any unnecessary chances.
