Very worrying and frightening @Muddy Cyclist
Could your wife write to her mother. Would that be allowed?
I wrote to my mother, ( I knew her as my aunt and wasn't aware she was my mother until she had died ) (I lived a very long distance away) even though she had dementia (she always had one brief moment of delighted recognition of me when I visited), and apparently welcomed my letters. The staff read them to her. I had bought her a beautiful fountain pen and some cards and stamps. After the staff read my letter, it was only very short, my mother began a reply, Just Dear...then my name, then it degenerated into a scrawl of no sense, but I treasured them.
Is there something like this you could do?
It is so sad. I feel for you and your wife. Hugs.
I can feel your frustration and it is entirely understandable. However I strongly believe you are safer from this being in your own place without sharing facilities, doors, etc with other people. Like JJ said the chance to move will still come and the most important thing is you stay safe and well. Hugs to you and the KC.
You would be able to send photos etc via WhatsApp @Muddy CyclistThanks for the suggestions and kind words.
We have had another message asking if we would like to contacted on whatsapp each day, not sure how and what and how this will work but at least they are trying to make it less painful for everyone.

Clown on BBC news just said "to self isolate stay 2 metres away from others in the house. That might mean sleeping in a separate bed." Might? Who has a bed wider than 2 metres?
Considering how so many families are crammed into small houses this is just stupid.Clown on BBC news just said "to self isolate stay 2 metres away from others in the house. That might mean sleeping in a separate bed." Might? Who has a bed wider than 2 metres?

Had a call to day from MILs nursing home, no more visits allowed until End of April when it will be reviewed. We understand but like Mrs MC says she may never see her mom again, lots of families in the same situation, hard times.
One of our band members has decided to lock himself away as his wife is high risk and very frightened, I can't blame them under their circumstance, although I am not sure how they will manage.
Sympathies to you all @Muddy Cyclist. This is my concern too. So far mum's nursing home have introduced extra precautions such as requiring all visitors to wash hands in a designated area before entering the main part of the building and isolating and monitoring individual residents in their rooms if they have any unusual symptoms of any kind but I don't think it will be long before they will stop visits as there are so many vulnerable residents. Hard times indeed.
I've also read several articles on health care sites that say stop buying masks, they won't protect you and the health care workers -- who know how to use them -- need them. If you have the virus, wear one to protect others (but you shouldn't be out with others if you're sick anyway) but they won't keep germs OUT ...
