Is the Coronavirus threat being overegged?

[Carana]

Has anyone here knowingly contracted Covid?  Or personally knows of anyone directly or indirectly?

Our Rob, apparently. Hope he recovers.

NB: Not sure what you mean by "knowingly".

Thanks to those who've shared their experiences. So it is most definitely amongst us

Yes get well soon Rob.  I think he said he's NZ based.

By 'knowingly' I was referring to the fact that, as I understand it anyway, some people can contract Covid and have such mild symptons they're not even aware they have it.

I think people may have had it without being diagnosed.

[Carana]

Asymptomatic carriers appear to be a problem, as they (perhaps you or me) aren't aware of it, but could contaminate others.

I spoke to Rob in NZ a few days ago.  Almost certainly he had Coronavirus because he had contact with a Chinese man just back from Wuhan after a Christmas break out there.

Rob was a vet, so his medical training will likely be as deep as a doctors training.   He believes that he and also his cat almost certainly had it.

He is recovering and getting on with life as well as he can, but has little energy.  I think ' fatiqued ' is the word to describe how he is feeling at the moment.


He cannot come on here because his computer is broken.  Hopefully it is being mended at the moment



If I get to speak to him again, I will pass on your kind wishes Carana.

ETA:

O.M.G.!

After weeks of being totally unable to post, or pm, or log out, I am suddendly allowed in.   Yahroo !

And I don't think that I did anything against the rules.   All I could do was give ' likes ' for weeks

[Carana]

Thanks Sadie.

I have had the same problem this last couple of days, Sadie.  Actually identical.  Cleared up now.  perhaps it took more than one Poster to see what the problem was.

Glad that you are now back.

My permissions vanished again after my post above, but I am hoping that I have found a back way in that allows me to post.   Let's see, shall we ?

ETA:   Seems my back way in is working.   Too early to be sure tho'

Lockdown rules to be relaxed from tomorrow?  Yeah right!
Maybe you'll be able to queue up at a garden centre or get 1 extra hour outside. Whoopdie f..king doo.

The government has backed itself into a corner & along with the MSM, have scared the British public into submission IMO. 

I've been reading posts on Facebook & I'm amazed by how many people have swallowed the 'Protect the NHS' BS & are supportive of the lockdown measures.

I wonder if these same virtue signalling happy clappers will still be supporting the government rules when they have no jobs to return too & are queuing up at food banks.

I am actually quite worried about people's mental health.

I've been reading lots of  comments too, and it seems  that some people really believe that they will die if another person comes too close to them. Many say they will be too afraid to leave their homes, even when the lockdown is lifted. A number of parents are saying that , no way will they send their children back to school.  Some are prepared to self isolate until a vaccine is available, and I'm not just talking about people who have underlying health conditions, or those who are elderly.

Supporting the lockdown measures is sensible, but it disturbs me that many people are going to be terrified of leading normal lives again, even after it has been deemed safe to do so.

Yes, I have read people saying the same. It's pathetic. The MSM & government are to blame for this with their permanent fear mongering. As I understand it, 99% of the UK population haven't died of CV, yet the media is putting the focus firmly on the tiny minority that have.

I also have concerns about my own mental health, having been locked at home for the past two months with no certain release date, It got me thinking,  If I were in prison I could probably still have access to a gym. Go figure!

I read also that the lockdown measures could increase the chances of people being radicalized.
Which got me thinking, maybe 9/11 wasn't all that bad, & just yesterday I was watching the VE day celebrations & I couldn't help thinking, I kind of wish the Nazis had won.

We will have to see what happens as the lock down is eased.... Not just in the UK but around the world... At the moment the death rate in New York is up 380% on the normal yearly average
