Would a fitter patient get a ventilator over me? Dr Hilary answers your coronavirus questions
AS the NHS struggles to cope under the huge pressure of caring for the seriously ill, it is vitally important to follow government advice and only contact them in an emergency.
Q. I’M 53, have diabetes, heart failure and have had a stroke. If I got coronavirus, would a healthier, younger patient get a ventilator over me?Hopefully it will never come to that. If the NHS becomes overwhelmed, very difficult decisions will have to be made. This is why society needs to work together and follow the recommended guidance.
Q. MY fiancée and I live apart. I stay on my own in my house with no other family, while she lives with her son. Is it safe to still see each other?If you are busy working and out and about, there’s a risk you could take the virus to your fiancée and her son. If you can bear to stay apart you minimise the risk. If you move in together and live as a household, the risk, of course, would be the same but you won’t be travelling back and forth.
