Politics Coronavirus

[Bob007]

Am not allowed to talk about covid and such as a rule, my position prevents it.

But I now have something I can talk about it.

Monday I took ill and took a test and have found out I have Covid 19. Am fine. sick with what seems like a massive head cold with no runny nose. Sometimes am hot, sometimes am freezing and for some reason when I focus on the TV i open my mouth to breath (subconscious because of the headcold feeling) so it dries my mouth, complete pain when I wake up at 2am, 3am, 4am and so on. But that's not whats the most annoying.

It's my sense of taste and smell. I haven't lost it but everything tastes or smells like crap. Tea tastes like crap and I love tea. WTF! My wife was making soup today. Chicken. In fact she was reheating soup I made at the weekend, so I know it's nice.

First off it smelled like boiled cloths (anyone old and northern enough may remembers that) and it tasted like the worse thing ever, dishwater maybe??.

They may first appear like a rant but it is actually advice. Buy the following things.

Brown Sauce Daddies or HP. Doesn't matter. Even if you don't normally like it. Red Sauce is to weak so is not up to the job and will make it taste worse.
Tabasco Sauce, Good quality one. Strong the better..
Chilly Sauce, Don't be a baby. Not Sweat(yes that's right!) Chilly Sauce. Good strong one. If you can take it now, get a stronger one.
Sweets. High Sugar stuff. Doesn't matter what flavor as long as there is sugar in there, you'll taste that
Finally Squirty Cream, here we aren't going for quality but high sugar content.
Bananas. Healthy. Noooo. Peel a Banana, get the squirty cream, watch the telly while combining them.

Thanks for reading and stay safe.

Refusing care, fine. Bye then, let Darwin sort it out.

Refusing care, fine. Bye then, let Darwin sort it out.

I think people who are in a state where they're probably going to die if they're taken off oxygen don't have the capacity to make that decision by themselves, especially when you have a family telling you it's nothing to worry about.

But yeah, if you're down for that type of libertarianism then sure.

 

[Raven]

But you can't force care onto people, I'm pretty sure there are several rules against it. You can advise them as much as you like. If people chose not to take it then let them get on with it.

Move onto a patient that wants help, there are plenty of them.

If he dies due to advice from his spastic family then have them for manslaughter. There is a point that society just has to jettison stupid people.

And yeah, I get it, confused old man, desperate situation but doctors are literally working all hours to keep people alive, they can't be dealing with that shit.

I was going to make some jokes about the taste of spunk or minge but have decided against it.

The funny rating wasn't for the post, just for the fact you still follow Femi. Strange how he wasn't running defense for his beloved EU wasn't it?

It wasn't a Femi post. It was the woman objecting to the "There's no textbook for pandemics" comment when she literally has shelves of them.

That Tory couldn't give a fuck, because stupid people will still vote for him.

That all sounds incredibly familiar, except my body figured out it could be both freezing and boiling at exactly the same time. Same massive head cold, I lived on Fruit Pastille lollies and curry for 5 days as that's all I could taste, weirdest illness I've had tbh. Not the worst, but definitely the weirdest.

Good to hear you're ok tho, rest water and drugs did the job for me. Didn't bother with cold remedies as they made me feel worse, a couple of aspirin and the odd spliff did the trick.

There are wards of people dying. This isn't a case of someone refusing treatment where people have the time to convince them to not die. In the very next bed there might be someone suffering because the doctor is having to spend time to essentially force someone else to be treated. I'm sorry but move on, save, through treatment, as many people as possible. Doctors/nurses time is a finite source, more so at the moment. They can't save everyone.

Yes, it is extremely harsh thing but ffs, we don't have the time or the resources to piss about with people that don't want treatment. Why even go to hospital in the first place if you don't want treatment? He is literally putting other lives at risk.

My comments werent directed at you

I'm fully aware of the situation at hospitals. I just lack the ability to quote properly while shaking with anger.

The facepalm is for the fact that Femi triggers Leave voters so effortlessly that you didn't even notice his tweet wasn't the point of @Wij's post.

I had a Balti in the cupboard on day one. I did it and it just tasted of salt. So packet stuff it being avoided.

Yeah wtf is with that hot and cold thing. I don't understand and also didn't know it was a thing. Your shivering but taking your socks off because your feet are boiling.

I have kilo's on jelly beans for when am out on the bike so they are next to me. Am thinking fruit pastille right now would be amazing but I also know I'll get just sugar and not the fruit pastille my minds wants.

Hot Chocolate and Squirty Cream now I'll have put on 4 stone with Covid.

Sorry @Wij she won't let me near her so can't help there.

I had exact same symptoms when I got it. Hope you get better soon.
It's weird having a headcold but no runny nose. And the hot cold thing.

I got it end of October and my sense of smell still isn't working properly. Everything tastes ok though just not as vibrant as it used to be.

I just drank loads water and paracetamol

Interesting goings on in Sweden a group of people in a carehome have contracted CV19 after having 2 shots of the Pizer variant of the vaccine... right now they are not sure of the timeline (best case is they got infected before the vaccine was fully working)- it will be an interesting one to follow:

Tio covidsmittade på vårdboende trots två vaccindoser

Tio personer har bekräftats sjuka i covid-19 på omsorgsboendet Gerdas gård i Göteborg, trots att de fått två doser vaccin mot sjukdomen.

My smell is still a bit weird after having the Rona nearly a year ago! Onions smell absolutely awful to me now, and other things that smell bad (like when I go for a shite) now just smell like onions. So weird. Your other symptoms sound a lot like mine as well. Started off with a headache for a few days (tension type headache, was ok of I sat still, agony if I moved my head), then feverish for a couple of days, but it was never that bad, then smell and taste gone for a week. Get well soon!

Could just be bad luck on the 90% immunity thang.

I'm interested to see if any actually die though.

My dad (80) caught covid shortly after (5 days I think) receiving the vaccine.
He was ok. He was just very tired most of the time. I am thinking even though it was close to having the vaccine it did help.

Think he got it from the dementia support people that he visited.

Christ that's bad luck! Avoiding it for a year at his age then catching it when he did! Glad he is ok.

How Europe fell behind on vaccines

The EU secured some of the lowest prices in the world. At what cost?

Blimey I didn't know so many of you had caught it. I literally only know two people (in the same household) who've had it over here.

I don't know many myself, however at my age (33) it could be that friends have had it and been symptomless. I only really know of Myself, my sister in law, my mother & father in law (who I caught it from), and a few people from another family. When I was ill my wife wasn't, which was odd. I suppose we have avoided touching each other since being married lol.

I don't know anyone who has caught it.
