Just to reflect that since around 17th September stats released by WHO and
on eg. Wikipedia have been manifestly less informative - accepting all the
limitations they had even before then.
A question - in light of recent "advice".
IF a patient turned up in your surgery, leant on to the reception counter
with sweaty hands and arms, and then discussed how ill they felt, how they'd
been feverish for a few days, and how they'd come from W Africa 2 weeks ago,
AFTER DOING THE NEEDFUL...
what would you do about your reception counter?
how would your staff respond?
would you be able to continue seeing patients as normal?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Julian
