Happy Easter Everyone!! I have woken up to 800 signatures, so a great start to the day! I also woke up with the thought, "imagine the outcry if the government policy had said that they were going to put Covid-19 positive patients into children's homes, especially as children are supposedly more immune!" They would NEVER have got away with it. Why then is it okay for our elderly folk to be put at such risk. Onwards and upwards! Many in body, one in mind.

So, as day 2 of this petition draws to a close we have together made a great achievement: more than 700 signatures. That's over 100 more signatures than day one and will hopefully bode well for the support the petition receives tomorrow. I want to re-iterate that we have absolutely no issues with patients getting care in the homes in which our loved ones live - we just want to be certain that they are no longer carrying the Covid-19 virus and posing any risk to our frail, elderly and vulnerable loved ones, who deserve better. Sleep tight all. Onwards and upwards. Many in body, one in mind.

Can you believe what we have achieved in less than 48 hours? 600 signatures and rising! This is so important that we have to keep going until we achieve our goal. Keep signing, keep sharing and then keep sharing again. Onwards and upwards. Many in body, one in mind.

Well done all of you!! 400 signatures!! Keep signing and sharing. Contact your MPs. Contact your local newspapers. Contact your local radio stations. Contact celebrities. Get the word out there NOW. We have no time to waste. Onwards and upwards. Many in body, one in mind.

This morning on 11th April 2020, I woke up to a message from a friend with a link to a piece written by Alex Crawford for Sky News. It's an important read which explains eeloquently why care homes (aka home for many of our loved ones) are already so vulnerable. Please read and please keep spreading the word. This MUST be stopped IMMEDIATELY.

We did it!!! 300 signatures in 24 hours!! The message is loud and clear - we are extremely concerned about patients who are positive with Covid-19 being moved into care homes, otherwise just known as the homes of our loved ones. Meanwhile, the country is in an enforced lockdown for our safety. We are not allowed within 2 meters/ 6 ft of other people (even though sneezes and coughs can travel much further) and police officers are stopping people who are even in their own gardens or cars, away from anyone else. Also, many carers are amongst the hardest workers for the smallest financial reward; they are not trained medics - when even trained medics (doctors and nurses) are dying from the virus - and yet are being expected to care for people ill with the virus. It is clearly unacceptable to put residents and staff of care homes in such danger. Onwards and upwards to 400 signatures. Many in body, one in mind.

Well, it couldn't be clearer! In just 16 hours from setting up this petition - my first ever, learning as I go - we have exceeded 200 signatures. Thank you for looking out for the most vulnerable amongst us who cannot look out for themselves. Onwards and upwards to 300 signatures. Many in body, one in mind.

Thank you so much to the first hundred people who have put their support behind this petition. It is essential that we get enough signatures and fast to put a stop to this current situation and safeguard the vulnerable in care homes asap. Onwards and upwards to the next milestone of 200 signatures. Together we can do this. Many in body, one in mind.

Thank you all so much for your support with this. We understand that patients also need care but not at the expense of the lives of our loved ones, who have no choice in the matter and who are unable to to keep themselves safe. We MUST do it for them. All we are asking is for two negative Covid-19 tests 14 days apart - surely the most sensible approach. Otherwise, our elderly and vulnerable, not to mention the incredible carers taking such good care of them, might all fall like dominoes through absolutely through no fault OR choice of their own. Please sign, share and share again. Lives depend on it.
