Well, this made lockdown interesting. Dave was digging in the garden and I was indoors, heard shouting and a neighbour had spotted him collapsed on the ground. Two ambulances in attendance, ( had trouble getting in to us) and he was charged of to the non covid A&E. Had to stay at home and wait as only patients allowed! Eventually have collected him again just now, doctors decided he had a seizure ( unknown cause) so can't drive until seen by neurologist. One unhappy person.......and of course as bank holiday weekend, can't start referral until Tuesday. The neighbour who helped him initially followed her instinct, and now has to go for covid test two hour drive away tomorrow as she is shielding her daughter and, although sure Dave is covid free, cannot risk it having had close contact with someone! Sleeping in tent in garden till she gets the all clear. The sad thing is, they didn't test Dave, as asymptomatic, but took him into the hospital. If he did happen to develop symptoms once home, others could be at risk but track and trace difficult.
We stayed alert, "safe" at home, and still ended up using the NHS!
