Jennifer Duddy is telling it as it is for no one should wish to get COVID-19, but there are people out there who do not appear concerned if they do, or feel they have no chance of catching it.
These people are totally irresponsible for they could well be the cause of the various COVID-19 outbreaks occurring throughout the UK.
They may not be concerned for themselves, but they should be for others.
Yes, it is the choice of these irresponsible people to ignore all the information on what and not what to do, but their irresponsible nature is causing others to catch COVID-19 and this is not their choice.
There are many not Social Distancing, not wearing face-masks or wearing them incorrectly, refusing to self-isolate, etc. making it extremely unsafe for others.
Currently there is no vaccine, but if there was, there are quite a few people who would refuse to be vaccinated, again, these people are solely thinking of thesmselves and not others.
A vaccine is the only chance for COVID-19 to be eradicated, so currently, everyone should be abiding by the information and restrictions and those who still refuse to comply should be fined and eventually leading to arrest and be convicted.
The Government needs to strengthen the current legislation to make this possible.
Yes, it is restricting freedom and choice, but it is essential to safeguard others and it is what any of our Laws do, for to not do will cause anarchy.
Those in authority who themselves did show irresponsibility should have been prosecuted, but it may be that the Law was insufficient for this to occur and if so, that should be immediately rectified.
When Jennifer Duddy was admitted to hospital with coronavirus, she said goodbye to her young family wondering if she would ever see them again.
The 32-year-old accountant, who has asthma, first experienced symptoms of the virus in March, but says she was refused tests on several occasions.
Initially, most people with symptoms were told to stay at home and self-isolate.
Her husband, Jamie, also had symptoms, but while his symptoms slowly started to lessen, Jennifer’s got worse and eventually she was admitted to Belfast’s Mater Hospital with breathing difficulties.
She spent seven days there being treated for coronavirus.
When she was discharged, she knew it would take time to recover fully, but was optimistic and excited to again cuddle her eight-year-old daughter, Chloe, and one-year-old son Ryan.
“A lot of tears were shed in those first two months,” Jennifer told BBC News NI.
“I was on so much medication when…

Myself and my wife have been shielding and now the Government have decided it is not necessary, so what is different now than when shielding started.
As COVID-19 gone away, No
As lockdown finished, well in some instances yes, but in others no
Do we still need to Social Distance, well, Yes
Do we need to wear face-masks, well originally no, but now, Yes in many instances
So, the Government has decided shielding for the majority is no longer required, except for the areas in local lockdown and on the watch list.
But there is not much different with regards to COVID-19, for it is still with us, and waiting for a relaxation of restrictions.
Is not the stopping of shielding not a relaxation of restrictions, so will those who have been shielding, now be in greater risk of catching COVID-19.
Will even more areas need to have shielding returned, will people who have been shielding now catch COVID-19.
Well, who knows, but does this Government care, well it appears no.
How do you feel about shielding being paused? Did you go out this weekend? What was the first thing you did?
More than two million people shielding against coronavirus in most of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland can now leave their home and return to work.
Vulnerable people were advised in March to stay at home, or shield, to avoid contracting Covid-19. In Wales the advice stays in place until 16 August.
But Macmillan Cancer Support said people in the shielded group do not feel safe enough to leave their homes.
It comes after the PM applied the brakes to easing restrictions further.
Meanwhile, Graham Medley, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which advises the government, has said England could have to consider closing pubs in order to reopen schools in September.
And businesses that have furloughed staff during the coronavirus pandemic must now start contributing
