madwullie Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Tbh i would have been pretty surprised that a bowel condition would be exacerbated by covid, or make catching covid more dangerous. I'm not sure many conclusionsn(about shielding or anything else really) can be drawn from the fact that people with this condition ultimately haven't been affected more than by cv than the general pop. We were never obliged to follow the shielding guidelines anyway Edited August 19, 2020 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the condition itself, it's the immunosuppressants used to help control it that are what causes me to be classed as vulnerable.

Cosmic Joe Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Any chance you could take a day off Todd? Asking politely Edited August 19, 2020 by Angusfifer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Todd's went from a guy occasionally posting about Hamilton to spending his life on a general nonsense discussion of Corona on a football forum. It's as sad as it is creepy tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Came down with high temp earlier and sense of taste disappeared at dinner. Just had to go to Inverness test centre. The touch your brain with it up your nose wasn't pleasant. Hopefully it's just my shitty immune system reacting bad to a cold and not corona! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 What the f**k was Todd’s “high profile” justification comment as well? Fucking minter behaviour from the forum’s extrapolist extraordinaire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about knowing better than anyone. I can only speak for me, but when a new virus arrives along with a suggested mortality rate of 3% (or whatever it was in March), and you get told that not only are millions in the UK going go get it, but your personal risk is greater than that, the natural reaction is to find out as much information as possible. When it gets about 6 weeks down the line and your personal risk moves from "high risk" to "moderate risk," you read studies that show that the outcomes of your specific circumstance were better than expected / no worse than the general population, and couple this with overall risk for your age group, underlying condition or not, being relatively low, then I personally felt much better about the chances of serious illness / death if I was unlucky enough to catch it. When you've spent the last 10+ years taking drugs that raise your risk of certain cancers etc, weighing up whether to continue to do the things you enjoy doing, fully in the knowledge that doing so comes with a slightly higher risk than the general public, or not doing them to reduce risk, but missing out along the way, then socialising etc during Coronavirus is just another one of those choices to me. The risk isn't zero, but it's very low, and the risk of most things isn't zero either. If that makes me "A w**k of a boy" (not your words I know) then so be it.

Gaz Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Our wee one has started running a fever tonight. Could just be teething but can't take the chance, have to get her tested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
