[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2338441, member: 429870"] Zand, I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad. I really don't think anyone in this country is thinking we (older diabetics) are useless and not worth hospital treatment. I think in this country we are imbued with the idea that on the NHS EVERYONE matters and deserves exactly the same, sometimes heroic, efforts to help and if possible save them, no matter the cost. I see the problem as being rather that a large proportion of the population don't think at all! They don't reflect that the consequences of their stupid selfish actions will be deaths of frontline workers and vulnerable people. They are just focussed on their "freedoms" and their beer. Asked to donate towards treatments for Covid patients they would likely put their hands in their pockets willingly enough. I do think the end is in sight now. Just keep your head down for a bit longer, and meanwhile try to find some safe treats to raise your morale! [/QUOTE]
