New Restrictions

[granny grump]

I have to go to hospital on 9 November. I have been told by the hospital NOT to use public transport and my husband doesn't drive and I have no family close by. A very close friend, who live 4 doors away, and I have been support in each other with shopping etc since March. She live alone but has close family as her 'support bubble'
If we take the required precautions mask and hand sterilising can she take me to hospital?

I have no other way to get there and back

You seem to be continually confused (either by accident or design).

Nobody that I know (including all the people who post on here) suggests that the virus is a hoax or a conspiracy. What many people are questioning (including some on here and elsewhere) is the strategy adopted to tackle the problem. It is leading to confusion and mistrust. The confusion is abundant and this question demonstrates just a small part of it:

"I have been told by the hospital NOT to use public transport"

Why should the hospital tell Granny Grump that? The only advice about public transport is to avoid it where possible. If the risk to her is so great they should lay on transport. They should not tell her not to use the bus but leave her to get on with it. One day the government will realise the blindingly obvious fact that, short of confining everybody to barracks 24/7/365 they will not prevent this virus spreading. They will then have to adopt a strategy that lives with it rather than trying to live against it. That will not happen any time soon because great swathes of the population believe that its spread can be prevented. But by the time that reality is finally accepted the collateral damage will be so great that there will be nothing much left to reopen.

Some years back I rang the hospital for help getting
me husband there, they arrive 2 weeks later by which
time he was dead.
On a previous occasion leaving the hospital THEY said
they would get him transport home that was at 4.30am
we didn't get a lift to 12.10am
There were NO emergencies then.

Like others have said I reckon it's permissible in your situation.
