In Italy 41 doctors have died due to the repeated exposure to the virus - I can't possibly know how many of them had underlying conditions. As I already mentioned in another thread, a chap that I knew, 38 years old, perfectly healthy no smoker, not overweight etc. died the other day. Other two guys I know in their 30s (again perfectly healthy), survived only thanks to intensive care (pneumonia leading to sepsis).
Again, I do not know the kind of exposure they had to the virus. All I know is that we are talking about quite young and healthy chaps. I am not an MD, so I can't possibly say anything more than this.
Thanks, so sorry this has struck so close. There will no doubt be edge cases, and hopefully this will prove to be such a case, so we wait with baited breath for the scientists to make their investigations. In the meantime social distancing is the one very effective means we have of minimising the risk to ourselves and others. I haven't yet taken to "sterilising" all goods and objects at the household boundary but I know of others who already are.
Some very dark decisions approaching for the health providers...
The hysteria level about to go through the roof as it really starts to hit home on the "children" on the Global stage, the Yanks are about to wake up. Let's see if the home of capitalism will suddenly discover it's socialist ethical centre.
Hayfever kicking in rather heavily today so even less inclination to go out for the groceries, apart from the excessively cautious Waitrose queuing and admissions regime. Sainsbury's was twice as fast and social distancing still observed, young staff seemed a little too close to each other but I wasn't breathing anywhere near the scuzzy tykes.
New girls still posting adverts, I'm happily working through all the new category of amateur Jap porn I've found, need to pace myself to avoid spraining something and then needing a "physio"
