Good grief! She’s 104 years old! You have to know that at some point somethings gonna get you, and at 104, she’s beaten the odds for at least 30 years. How much harm could possibly be done by letting her see her family?

Got into a debate with a covid coward, and I brought up the 94% comorbidity statistic. He responded with some study that claimed people who died of covid would have lived an additional 14 years on average. I don't care how long somebody practiced medicine - they can't honestly tell me that they're positive that an 80 year old with covid, pneumonia, and possibly other illnesses, could have potentially lived a few more months, let alone years.

Yup! Anyone who has a doctor predict they have “X” number of years to live needs to see if they can get it in writing! At 104 years old, sending a family member with bubonic plague in to see her really wouldn’t shorten her life. Of course I’m not saying that should happen, but with life expectancy at around 75 years give or take...she’s got her money’s worth so to speak.

This is my home town and it's making alot of folk angry.

There's hardly any virus in the area.

Cant they set up perspex screened visiting rooms (like in prisons)?

Latest news from the government here is we've to have a 'digital Christmas'. (online meetings only)

No one I know will obey this law.
