He's a fit guy in his late 30s and says it is brutal. Constant pain -sometimes agonising - in his chest and lungs and struggling to breathe. It doesn't sound particularly pleasant. Someone I know who is much same profile has just had it and said same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Friend of my wife's family that went in the same time as my MiL (who got discharged last week but is completely cunted by it still) has just been put on a ventilator in Hairmyres. Early 70s, not sure of underlying conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Definitely feel that more people I know seem to know people who have it this time round. Must be a coincidence but it's a strange one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The French Government have just declared a State of Emergency due to rapidly increasing rates of infection. France reopened schools fully with no distancing or mandatory mask wearing at the beginning of September. I am unsure if they opened nail bars, bowling alleys or spin classes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time there's been a couple of people (friends/relatives of people I know), either got it or in hospital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red23 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Anyone who has a job right now and is renting or living with parents and not using this as a golden opportunity to get a 10% deposit for a house together is a moron. I know a lot of people who instead have been using it to buy clothes, phones, mac books etc. Edited October 14, 2020 by red23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One month later 750 in hospital including 49 in ICU. Thank goodness this public health crisis is firmly behind us. Whilst still a massive increase, it’s 570, not 750 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the population is nearly 20 million, rather than the 8-ish I said. I wonder how many were in the care of a grandparent, as it is those who have lost a 'parent or caregiver'. Obviously no less traumatic to lose a grandparent who is a caregiver - I was just struck by the implied age range of those who had died.

Most companies just ignored him. Including most government agencies tbh. My sis in law works for HMRC and was told long before Johnson was trying to get folk back into work that she wouldn't see her office this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
