Bad news.
Julie's sister was due to have a caesarian, pre-operative tests revealed that she had covid and she is now isolated in hospital.
Because of this, their parents have been in home isolation for the past couple of days, Julie has been leaving food outside their house.
Her Father is a front-liner and had refused the vaccine due to all the false rumours about it being unsafe. He has just come down with a bad fever-like flu, so bad that her mother phoned Julie in the early hours of the morning, and Julie messaged me.
Sometimes I think that I am only getting half the story, there is a lot that could go wrong with this.
