Off Topic Corona virus - non football

I'm still deeing my daily 7 mile hike apart from our local polis patrol who kna me from obvious reasons

They've hardly been sighted just typical I bumped into them yesterday on the first day of the lockdown

I ****ing **** myself thought all the times I've should have been done for been pissed in public I'll get arrested for

Breaking the lockdown laws

 

So, they have said ‘all UK homeless will be housed by the weekend’.

This blows my mind, why haven’t they done this as a matter of course if it’s possible. Literally playing god, surely?

Mind blown.

 

When this is eventually all owa a lot of **** is going to hit the fan

 

That's what I'm struggling with. I'm in the vulnerable group that needs shielding and the NHS have told me not to leave the house for 12 weeks.

When I surgery last year, that was bearable as I knew I'd recover and had a timescale of when I'd be up and about and be able to start doing things. This is doing my head in as I don't know when it will end and I don't know how long I am going to be stuck in the house. I've had a headache all day today and I'm sure it's due to lack of fresh air and exercise. I'm tempted to break my curfew and risk going for a walk tomorrow.

 

Maybe because there is about 5 million empty hotel bedrooms available?

 

They have stated ‘hostels and shelters’

 

Anybody reckon Boris's girlfriend has f**ked off because he is a cu*t and this "he is positive" for CV is just an excuse

 

Not my intention to scaremonger - but acquiring this disease the symptoms can be brutal for some! It's a sobering account of what can happen if you're unlucky to get the worse symptoms:

The peak of this crisis is to hit us around April 12th !




I've been debating about whether to 'go public' on having coronavirus - which I kind of did inadvertently this morning. So, now I may as well share my experience(s) with you in order to help those who are worried about it or who are thinking they might have it. Here goes... 1/

I was taking this thing pretty seriously from an early stage because of advice from my good friend
@amhitchens
, who rightly identified the coming crisis. So I put my house in lockdown, I closed
@ICSR_Centre
early, and I started taking precautions 2/

But you need to be constantly vigilant with coronavirus. All it takes is one careless moment, one unthinking touch of your face, accidentally touching a contaminated surface once and suddenly, boom, you've got it. 3/

I'm 38 and have no underlying health conditions. I figured if I got it, I'd shake it. Here's how things have played out. Firstly, it's not the flu. Whoever originally said that, did everyone a great disservice. This thing is not the flu. It's a nasty, horrible, illness. 4/

I started having symptoms about two weeks ago. The fever was mild and went very quickly. Is it Covid-19? Who knows, but I've shaken it quickly. Great. Then my lungs started packing up and my chest got very tight. This happened around 15-16 March. 5/

The cough was dry and unlike anything I've ever had before. It was much more extreme and pronounced than a dry cough you might have during a bout of the flu. It feels like there's something deeply lodged within your lungs, that they're (violently) trying to eject. 6/

Of course, there's nothing to actually eject. The resulting cough is dusty, dry and painful. Much more scary is that you're unsure of when you'll stop coughing. You have no control over it. There were times I was worried I'd start vomiting because the coughing was so severe 7/

When you finally stop, it's a relief - but now you're in a new phase altogether. You're fighting to draw air into your lungs but your chest is tight and, frankly, your lungs are in distress. They're not functioning the way they should. 8/

Your head is also pounding because of the violent coughing. I suffered terrible headaches after these coughing fits. The evening of Wednesday 18th was the worst day for me. I fought for breath for about 3-4 hours. It was horrific. 9/

I recorded my symptoms and sent it to doctors (my friends). "Classic Covid" came the reply. I kept monitoring it and, frankly, staying awake was a struggle. I went to bed. My breathing remained severely impaired for another 2 days, but I was managing it all from home. 10/

By Friday, I thought I'd got through the worst of it and things were looking good. Coronavirus is particularly cruel. Recovery is not linear. On Saturday night I started to feel distinctly unwell again. I decided to take my blood pressure because I have a home monitor... 11/

Ultimately they decided they couldn't respond to my call. I am not criticising the London ambulance service. They are doing superb work under incredible, unprecedented circumstances. I'm telling you this part of the story to underscore two things... 14/

The first is that you should only call them in an absolute emergency. It's not a diagnostic service. The more unnecessary calls, the longer the delay in them answering becomes. Secondly, be prepared to take decisive action for yourself because they might not be able to help 15/

So I called my doctor friends again and started to take actions to lower my blood pressure naturally, at home. I spent the next 48 hours in bed and, only after this time, did my blood pressure return to anything vaguely resembling 'normal' (it was still high, but acceptable). 16/

Now we're into the start of this week. Symptoms have slowly evolved into a less severe cough and my chest being less tight (although these get worse in the evenings). But I have lots of new symptoms: crazy abdominal pains and headaches. The lethargy has persisted throughout. 17/

Today we're approaching the end of 2+ weeks since I first developed symptoms and about 11-12 days since they became particularly acute. For the first time, I feel like I'm starting to beat it but I'm nowhere near feeling 100%. 18/

Coronavirus appears to have a completely different trajectory in different people. I can't spot a pattern. Although I'm only speaking publicly about it now, I've been whatsapping with lots of friends/colleagues who've also had it. 19/

Some are shaking it off relatively easily. Others are suffering very badly. The most difficult part of this is the extent to which it takes hold within your lungs. There's just no way to tell what will happen at the start. You need to watch this symptom if it develops. 20/

So that's my coronavirus story. It's a completely mad, crazy illness. It had made me feel more intensely ill than I've ever been in my life. On the Wednesday & Saturday of last week, I was genuinely fearful of what could happen if those symptoms continued to escalate. 21/

I didn't want to tweet about my experience until I was more comfortable in my own assessment that I'm through the worst of it. And I'm sharing this with you now so that you can really think about the way this thing is hitting people. 22/

Do you really need to go out right now? Is social distancing really that hard? Is it too much of an effort to wash your hands repeatedly, and to wash them properly, with soap? 23/

I've lost several days of my life to this illness. Many, many other people will lose their lives to it. This virus continues to spread everywhere and you - literally, you - can help stop it with the most basic of efforts. Wash your hands. Stay at home. Do it now. /ENDS

 

1019 deaths uk wide now

 

Still people abuse the situation like there’s nowt to worry about. ****ing idiots.

 

& people thought our penalties were tough

Prince Charles has just had his test results. He's still not Harry's dad.

 

The 4 or 5 houses in our streets that contain probably the most vulnerable, because they are a mixture of having conditions, old and just plain dirty, are in and out of each others houses and two of them might as well have turnstiles instead of a front door for all their visitors.. It beggars belief.

 

Perhaps the virus will weed all the wasters out, royalty, politicians, Bonko, Trump, Putin the nutter in N Korea... we can but hope?

 

You missed off lazy bastards who do f uck all when they go to work and benefit scrounges

 

Is this about Grigg?

 

I you can slot him in there as well

 

I though that this was well done

 

Not exactly corona virus but this video had me buckled. Just a bit of light relief.
