This was posted on the Vasculitis Thread. I thought it would help if the link was published on HU thread.

It has a risk based questionnaire.

Thanks! I think this is good. We have travelled to Sweden and soon to go home again. In Sweden NO ONE: NOT ONE PERSON has on a mask anywhere! . BUT I wore one every time I went on any bus or train, when in any grocery or pharmacy, only ate outside, wore a mask in museums etc, and kept my distance from any group. Why spoil a vacation just because you look different. (frankly I look better in my mask! haha) These are also my rules at home. ! Masking is easy, ventilation not so much.

Quite! My younger daughter had it in June - got it again, this time from work, patient on Sunday night probably. All they were wearing at work were surgical masks - next to useless. She has just heard that proper masking is being reintroduced as of Monday - must have been a lot of phone calls from staff with Covid ...

So sorry for your daughter who must be a SAINT to work in healthcare. Bravo to her. Glad they are reintroducing proper masks!!

Both my girls are in the NHS - the other is a nurse and worked on Covid ICU first time round. She had Covid in June too - also not caught at work! Now she is in endoscopy Mon-Fri in an NHS hospital - and helping run catch-up clinics at the weekends. This is her 4th weekend in a row - averaging 60 hours a week! Her ex-husband is a paramedic, her son is aiming to be a pharmacist. The ED daughter's husband used to be in the ambo service, their son is training to be a nurse. I used to work in the NHS and my husband was a clinical scientist. Are there any other areas to work in?

Very helpful, thanks! Our proposed holiday has been postponed as my husband has a much earlier date for a hospital procedure than expected…not sure if we will go at all now! But we both miss travelling so much. S x
