When you have someone who is deaf and has dementia it's really quite difficult however I do agree it can be useful - we do get sent videos which is nice.

There are some times when you see a flash of recognition or memory that unveils the person. We have lost some relatives to dementia, its a terrible disease.

Glad to hear its helping.

I hope your family is bearing up. I've heard from colleagues working in older persons services that it is very distressing for people with dementia when they have the level of capacity to understand that loved ones are no longer visiting them but lack the capacity to understand why.

Thanks - we're all doing OK and the FiL has not much conception of the passing of time. It's harder on my wife to be fair. It's a small sacrifice compare to what others are having to make.

I think there is a real opportunity to use video conferencing to achieve this. Those visiting benefit from seeing their loved ones and vice versa.

My father-in-law is in a very well run dementia care home. My wife, who runs the family volunteers for the home, hasn't seen her father in over five weeks. The people who run the home are incredibly dedicated and vigilant. However, I view the likelihood of Corona happening in that environment to be very high. It's lessened because they no longer allow visitors but I think it's a question of if, not when. To be brutally honest, if the end's quick, it wouldn't be the worst thing that can happen but I'd like my wife to be able to see him before he does pop his clogs.

Roughly 10% of the total deaths were non-hospital.

Of deaths involving COVID-19 registered up to week ending 3 April 2020, 90.2% (3,716 deaths) occurred in hospital, with the remainder occurring in hospices, care homes and private homes

They needed to find a picture where she wasn't looking at him or both looking at the camera. That helps reinforce the prejudice against her.

There is no prejudice against her she is a horrible person.

I know because I read it in the Mail and online.

After all a grown man who has been a soldier isn't strong enough to say what he wants...

Good aeticle on Mexit! Bit disappointed I would have to turn to page 33 - why is it not on page 1?

There are adverts in the UK by the water industry to not put such stuff down the loo otherwise you strongly risk blocking it.

Lucky I put it in the bin then.....

That will be tomorrow. The Gammons who buy this rag will be frothing and will lap up the contradictory story that comes tomorrow. The mail only has 2 purposes: -
1. Antidote after reading Guardian Opinion page
2. Toilet paper

The Mail should at least show the courage of its convictions and support fully Tory magical thinking policy making.
