Hope it doesnt get any worse
and @PSB1
My dad had severe COPD in 2007. Stress mixed with smoking and drinking and a viral infection he caught in Spain.
It was bad. I was only 12 at the time but I remember the morning he went into hospital (after we'd arrived back from Spain) he was crawling on the hall rug when the ambulance came. Looking back I probably didn't realise how close I was to losing him but thankfully he made it through.
Not trying to take away from either of your situations like and while I can't understand how it feels I do have that experience second hand. It's awful.
Glad to hear you're on the mend slightly at least Toast.
I'd be fuming if I was child 2 but if I was dad I'd honestly be divorcing mum as soon as it was all over.

Looks a bit too easy that.....
Think it's a very simplified version but one which is as generic as possible to cover as many bases.
There's no set rule for this I think. Because there's so many factors in each case which could be different.
New figures suggest that the true toll of deaths across England and Wales from Covid-19 is higher than reports from hospitals.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for England and Wales shows there were 24% more deaths relating to Covid-19 up to and including 20 March, compared to hospital-only data for the same period.
The ONS looked at all deaths where Covid-19 was mentioned as a factor, including hospital deaths and those in the community and care homes.

Oh I was dead mate.
Youngest ever to have what I got apparantly. No symptoms.
Bowels burst and peritonitus.
Horrific for my family.
3 months in Spainsh hospital, pregnant wife.
The pneumonia is what nearly did me in the ICU of Southampton once I got flown home.
I'm really not keen on doing it again.
Cross fingers...

Six Bay Area counties were first in the country to adopt aggressive tactics with an enforceable March 16 order requiring residents to stay at home. Gov. Gavin Newsom quickly followed with a statewide order three days later restricting the state's 40 million residents from all but essential activities.
After 14 days — the outermost period at which symptoms are believed to emerge post-infection — doctors at area hospitals are now reporting fewer cases than they expected to see at this point, and officials credit the lockdown with stemming the tide of patients they feared would flood into emergency rooms.
Bend it like the Bay Area: Doctors see flatter curve after 2 weeks of social isolation

Is it just me, or have the government looked a bit all over the gaff putting out information...
Could it even be something which is dependent on the specific person?
i.e. how quickly said person shakes it off (or not) but also something like location?
For example if you're cooped up with people are you more likely to stay contagious for longer than if you're somewhere rural with a bit more space to be in isolation?
I know fresh air isn't a cure or we'd be laughing, but experts have said it doesn't spread as effectively in open air (as long as people keep their distances).
Could it be something along those lines too?
Bloody hell mate, sounds horrific. Glad you got through it and I'm even more glad you're seeing whatever you have now (more than likely you know what) off by the sounds of it.
A lot of people I've seen say they've had similar symptoms to yours have said exactly what you've been saying over the last few days. And day by day they've noted it getting better - sometimes almost miraculously. Sure you'll be on the mend in no time!

Yeah, if there was a choice I’d probably choose not to as well.......

My daughter (apprentice hairdresser) was furloughed on the 21st March. Got paid today but received her full apprentice wage up to the 21st March but none of the 80% furlough money for the period 21st to 31st. She was told that this would follow in due course when received from the government. I’m really not hopeful she will see this money anytime soon. Fortunately she lives at home with us and apart from her mobile phone contract has no ongoing financial commitments( well apart from the money she owes me for her car insurance
) Others will not be so lucky so will need these payments to start coming through pretty quickly.

Back of my mind is convinced there is more to the hospital cases than we actually know.
I've said it earlier but how many cases who have the respiratory issues are smokers for example? That would indeed play a part.
I'm not saying all hospital cases are connected , anything can happen to anyone and sometimes there isn't a reason to explain it. That's why I'd imagine for quite a few people it would be terrifying to go through it for seemingly no reason.
The data won't be available for a long time yet , if at all. There has to be some sort of connection with respiratory cases that turns the virus from a mild cold to a full blown serious health issue. For older generations / health issues it's down to a weak immune system. But how does a virus that thrives in a weak immune system also affect a small minority of health young people when the majority don't get those symptoms ? Has to be a factor there somewhere, otherwise the virus would act the same way to everyone as noone has any immune system to deal with the virus.
