We're keeping our collective heads down here...
Both my wife and daughter have asthma... my wife also has COPD and my daughter has several other conditions that put her at risk... they are both on a required 12 week "lock-down"... this was done here so most of the hospitals could cope with "regular" issues before the folks with the highest likelihood of serious complications are kept "out-of-the-loop" end up there...
We know several people that have had this and unfortunately not all with good conclusions... closest family issue (discovered it was on-going yetserday) has been since my cuz and her other half returned from Spain in December... he was hospitalised in January, on a ventilator and in a coma for nearly 2 weeks... came out in April... still not out of the woods... also has multiple complications... he was not expected to leave hospital... the NHS are denying this was C19, as it was "too early"...
Quirky medical reactions...
My mum had TB she contracted in 1949 in her early 20's working in London... she was hospitalised until 1951... finally got the "all-clear" in the late 50's when she married my dad, who had known her since before she got sick...
My wife's younger sister contracted a form of TB (NHS description) in Moscow in the 80's... it was not diagnosed for 20 years... she has been in and out of hospital too many times...
We contracted an "unknown virus" in the good-ol'-USofA when we visited in 2003... knocked us out for 6 weeks and I lost about 30lbs during that time... not describing why...
Not going down the political or business route with this but the only losers here are the in-excess of 400,000 folks considered cannon-fodder in this viral-confrontation... This figure will get larger before this is over... I expect it to reach 7 figures...
I, for one, am glad I do not live in a city...
