In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
Lovely walk across the fields with the dog , not a soul in sight.
Youngest granddaughter who is a nurse in a Covid 19 ward in Cardiff has gone to bed isolating herself as she has a sore throat and symptoms.I pray she will be o.k. She has still not been tested or issued with proper protective clothing.Grrrrrr.
Best wishes to her Banksy.

My partner was sent home last Tuesday with the symptoms & told to self isolate.
She is not on the front line & works in Oncology.
One of her managers to her amazement asked for a test,which was then granted(a convoluted process by all accounts)
I suspect that was because they are so short staffed due to the 14 day self isolation of a lot in her dept.
A ambulance turned up outside her house complete with a chap in that hazardous gear & tested her(swabs) on the doorstep.The curtains were twitching 😁
She was phoned the next day to say it was a negative test.
The 7 day isolation protocol still stood though.

It should not be difficult to test front line staff.
It may still happen for her hopefully so her mind can be put at rest(& the families)
