There was no hospitalisation available, and it wouldnt have helped as it wasnt severe enough, at the acute stage, to need ventilating. Unless people were turning blue we werent even allowed to report it, there was no testing available and NHS 111 wasnt interested. Hospitalization would not have been appropriate, as this falls into the middle ground for many. We were safer at home. We have no way of knowing what the future holds.All this talk of the asymptomatic being OK - they are carrying this illness, and spreading it to many others, who may have a medium to severe illness from it - with no way of knowing who will get ill and when. How can this be seen as Ok is beyond me.</blockquote>
