No sympathy from me I'm afraid. I was a first class loafer before austerity hit actually. Damn you austerity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20172 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 A mate of mine works for a comapny supplying equipment to ICU's, He posted this on FB today. Quote Time to bring things into focus. Spent the morning on COVID-19 webinars. There seems to be 2 phenotypes of people presenting. Type A, slow presentation with opportunity for medics to try multiple therapies. Type B, sudden and rapid onset of shortness of breath and ICU within hours. Italy started with most Type A with more B appearing 2-3 weeks in, London seems to be more type B’s already. So.......for those of you still not applying social distancing or even better isolating there’s every possibility that exposure to multiple sources of the virus from multiple hosts may well dictate your experience and survival. STAY AT HOME. Somone asked his about the % of these, he the replied with this; Quote Theres nearly daily epidemiological papers being published in the journals but the prevalence of type B in London was from a London based consultant on the call, he said those were what he was seeing but the Italians noted regional differences in their country as well. It was a VERY clinical discussion but the Italians wish they’d gone on lockdown sooner and couldn’t believe the rest of a Europe was taking so long. It’s a dynamic situation. Quote The disconcerting part was they all said to begin with it was the elderly and already unwell presenting but as time has moved on they are seeing more people in their 30s and 40s with no past medical history 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the doctor who discovered it died. But why the fuck should anyone take this seriously when even the NHS isn't. Policies that are explicitly against social distancing and a lack of protective clothing. A lot of doctors haven't woken up in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13876 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The diabetic bloke at graft was complaining of a shortness of breath today but didn’t tell the gaffer until almost the end of the day. He’s finally been sent home but fuck me, I’ll be lucky to get through this in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20172 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It's utter madness. I am working from home (gaffer was sound btw) and I've seen groups of kids going past the house every now and then. WTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17281 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I went for my usual walk earlier today that I've been doing, about 2/3 miles & takes in a bit of the clifftop above the beach. Last week mostly drizzle; almost no cunt around. Today, sun out & I've probably been infected, either by the dosser cunt sprawled out dribbling on the pavement or the fuckin worried looking mouth breather who insisted on fuckin talking to me despite me having headphones in... "THIS VOIRUS IS TERRIBEW INNUM??" Homestly. Just fuck off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
