I feel like my current mindset towards Covid is.

It isn’t as bad being made out, it’s probably going to be seen as a bad flu in a couple of years time. I anticipate I may be wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No I think it’s bad.

Drowning in your own fluids is an awful way to go.

It is as bad as is made out
It’s probably worse but that’s all about the lack of healthcare in all countries and what they prioritise instead of people. Hence the lockdowns to slow the spread and with it the strain on the health system.
The mortality rate is higher etc
But I think you’re right in the sense that it may just become another strain in the years ahead that you get a jab for or call your boss and say ‘can’t come in today I got a touch of the covids’

I think it’s both.

It is bad right now because we can’t do anything about but hope your body can fight it but in future once we have a way to fight it then yes it’ll just be another flu we deal with

I think the way you describe death from any disease is just as gruesome.

Saw an interview with a A doctor from New York, he was basically saying people just can’t breath. The coughing and the fever are just the “minor” symptoms.

Think they will do it gradually. Everything won’t just go back to “normal” straight away.

Seeing the Italian ICUs was enough for me to know

Well I know a few people that have had the mild version, and they said it was bad.

He was 73 and a legend/role model.

Peak of health, but had issues with his lungs about 10 years ago and quit smoking because of it and until now he was still working and going across the country.

Very sad

Yeah the novelty is probably why it’s a struggle for our bodies. I assume that’s why East Asia seem better suited as maybe their immune system has memory from SARS related stuff?

Also apparently all deaths if the person has Covid are recorded, even if it is a brain aneurysm.

One friend got the pneumonia and collapsed lungs. He’s out of intensive care now though. 🙏🏾

Good to hear

No idea when we will come out of lockdown but it will probably be based on economical reasons
Then there’s the prospect of a second wave and another lockdown
We should have locked down earlier, and it should have been made clear that anyone flouting it is facked.
We should have closed the airports or at least attempted to screen people or make them all go in quarantines.
Loads of other things we could have done better and quicker really

Sorry to hear that fella
Did others around him have it? Or transmit it to him do you know?

Is that the mild symptoms though? I thought the mild symptoms are a minor flu and in some instances a loss of taste.

I can only now sort of relax by knowing I’ve shown no symptoms since lockdown

Yes I think it really reflects how poor the Tories has treated this country.

Cuts here to pay the national debt that never seems to go down.

Money wasted on Brexit

Hospitals shut and underfunded

Police underfunded

Benefit cuts etc

We have been prone for quite some time tbh

I think mild is when you don’t need intensive care!

Well that’s my interpretation.
