I couldn’t believe what I was seeing - his nose pouring with blood and him looking so poorly.
"On the phone to his daughter while ‘checking my son over’ all for him to say, ‘Yes it’s just conjunctivitis’ which is correct but I said I think he has Strep A - he’s suffering with his throat and there’s a clear obvious red rash all over his face. He still refused to swab Chester.
