aaa Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 9 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: Maybe. Maybe they had underlying health conditions. Or not. Given how many cases Italy have had then I'm surprised it's not more than 46 doctors who have died. The statistics show that 1-2% of apparently healthy people die from this. You have to remember though that these doctors won't be healthy; they'll be overworked and exhausted, and exhaustion opens up your immune system for a whole host of trouble and makes it much harder to fight illness. Good points, but it is a worrying high number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just heard my great niece has recovered, just a bit of a cough now. Weird, some folk shrug it off, some folk die. She was never tested though, just typical symptoms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted the vast majority of the small percent who die from it will be in a risk category, such as age or underlying illness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliethedug Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Why is it if one of your family shows symptoms you have to be isolated for 14 days but NHS workers who have been caring for patients without PPE, then said patients test positive for Coronavirus the NHS workers don’t have to isolate unless the themselves show symptoms? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone downplays the seriousness of this. Slap them fucking silly until both arms are tired, then slap them a bit more and make them read this. What a read. Incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You conflated caring about the NHS with participating in the applause. If you're stepping back from that then that's cool. 1 hour ago, oaksoft said: That IS good news and I am sure will be welcomed by all the families of those who have died. You have posted some brainless bollox in your time but that was pretty low. Do you ever take a break from playing the c**t to everyone? Must get tiring, could be lowering your immunity, friendly advice. Edited March 27, 2020 by welshbairn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that is the guidance anymore mate. Pretty sure anyone who has a symptomatic family member has to isolate for 14 days. Could be wrong tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been out the house since last weekend and shouldn't have to go out until next weekend. My young lad is a Paramedic so we are a bit worried about him, we also had to ask him to stay away as my wife is high risk. I couldn't agree more, everyone needs to do their bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong thoYes, if your family member has symptoms, you self isolate for 14 days. If you’re an NHS worker caring for a patient who is then tested and confirmed positive for Coronavirus you don’t have to isolate. You just go to your work the next day to infect more people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliethedug Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The NHS worker isn't living 24/7 with the patient without any protection.That’s true.
