At least he's not in ICU. And we know the gentleman is a fighter. Keeping fingers crossed.
 
The last time we had a figure as low as this for BCP was Sunday 27th December.

I wonder how he caught it ? I imagine he would have been very well shielded.
 
The lockdown plus other measures has helped to keep the flu figures way down which is some good news for our hard pressed NHS according to this story.


The number of people suffering from the flu in England has plunged by more than 95% to levels not seen for 130 years.

Data experts at the Royal College of General Practices (RCGP) said that in the third week of January - usually a peak time for the flu - the number of flu-like illnesses reported to doctors was 0.9 per 100,000 people compared with a five-year average of 27.

It is believed that measures designed to tame the COVID-19pandemic - as well as increased publicity about the importance of having the flu vaccine this year - are quashing influenza and many other respiratory diseases.

Out of 3.9 million patients at 385 GP practices in England monitored by the RCGP, only 35 had the flu last week.

And The Sunday Times reports that in the second week of January, the flu positivity rate - a standard measurement of flu in the community - was 0%. Not one of the 1,894 samples tested positive.

I have to say, if I had a frail 100 year old grandad, I wouldn't be taking him on a long-haul holiday in the middle of a vicious global pandemic, no matter who was paying.

Hmmm...

Grandad won't go on forever. Something will eventually get him. Perhaps he's happy to live life to the full and what will be will be.
