Coronavirus vs Natural Deaths

[sasguru]

So Whorty when you get a fluctuating fever and a hacking cough that leaves your muscles aching and feel like your lungs are going to exit your body, I suggest you sit back and take it like a man.

Well you could actually just read her full interview from Womans Own...Rather than taking one sentence out of context.

It's what the left did - which is why it's now used by the weak of thinking to demonise the dead bint.

Which might be because back in the day, when I was younger, last century, if a kid got Mumps or the Measles or Chicken Pox all the mums used to take their kids to "Pox Parties" to make sure their kids caught the virus at an early stage.
So, are these people thinking the same? Who knows.

The only people who have pox parties and the like nowadays are the anti-vaxxers and the terminally stupid.

Chicken pox.

Getting that at 35 was a real breeze.

On the other hand my niece aged 3 had about 4 spots & that was it.

I was plastered from head to foot, the worst were the ones inside the eyelids.

Even in children it can have complications. Which is why vaccination is to be preferred.

That reminds me, I must watch The Singing Detective again at some point.

Yes but again this is "Hearsay". It's "my mate says" all over again.

That's what the problem is, the Government has it's own experts saying one thing, then someone comes up with a story that they heard from "someone" in a hospital, no names, no idea which hospital no evidence at all but the panic mongerers chose to believe the "My mate says" because it's more spectacular. A better sound bite.

You know if they shut all the internet down for a week this would probably just turn into a flu virus again.
FFS calm down people.

I was going to reply to Cosmic with similar to you, but couldn't be bothered in the end, but I'll add a bit now. I'm from that area of the country, and there is no "Wolverhampton hospital", so just reading that I took everything else as either made up, up 3rd or 4th hand gossip. No one in the area calls the hospitals "Wolverhampton hospital"; not enough real detail in his/her post to convey any reality.

I followed the 111 online instructions, which told me to call 111, based on my symptoms.

This advice has been communicated now for over a week (note date on website). BBC, Times and loads of other news outlets have reported the same from the NHS.

Just interested to know what you think 111 was going to advise you to do?

I spoke to my GP friend yesterday who after some probing questions, thinks its 95% certain that I'm the 80% of the pop who cath it who will have/had mild symptoms

Really? He sounds amazing. Maybe he should sell himself as a tester ... the NHS is short of tests at the moment and the results take 5 days to come back, but it sounds like your GP mate can save them loads of time and produce results in minutes.

But perhaps Covid will be a cull for the stupid, particularly those who are vulnerable but don't know what govt advice is should they get symptoms.

Unlike you, I understand what advice has been communicated. But, you know what, if I do catch the virus and die of it, feel free to gloat on here and get one up on me

I'm sure we can all appreciate the "what can I say this time to make the idiot go away" moments with SAS.
