I just got back from driving one of my grandsons home from hospital. His mouth and throat were swollen and he had difficulty breathing. My daughter, who is a health worker, thought it was probably a reaction to a virus he has had for a couple of days (COVID test was negative) and called an ambulance. The ambulance arrived within 10 minutes, he was in the emergency department 10 minutes later and was seen by a doctor immediately.
The doctor confirmed my daughter's "diagnosis" and gave the young fellow antihistamines and steroids. They kept him under observation for a couple of hours and I drove him back home at about 0030, tired and a little wobbly but much better.
Mrs DJC was in ICU recently after a bad reaction to post-operative drugs. Most of the ICU beds were empty and there were 5 or 6 ICU nurses providing Mrs DJC with excellent care. They often had time for a chat and most were concerned about the potential for their ICU to be overwhelmed if vaccination rates weren't high enough.
Of course, both of the above were in Geelong, aka Sleepy Hollow.
