Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Billy Dean]

Disconcerting hearing all the neurological issues this is causing and extreme fatigue, kidney problems etc. Was bad enough when it was a bad pneumonia FFS.

I've had pretty strong fatigue on and off since about Easter. I thought it was caused by a combination of boredom and grief from work. Now I'm paranoid I've got covid.

Another health minister in Brazil resigns, as it is genuinely impossible to do your job as a health minister with a right wing maniac in charge. Very very sad situation building in a fantastic country

Try not to stress too much, it's honestly very easy to think that because you feel like a) B) or c) you may have it.

It could honestly be the two things you've said (boredom, stress with work, anxiety and so on)

p.s just to add if you are worried though mate, get yourself down to the docs and checked out as it'd always a weight lifted if you have peace of mind

Thanks mate yeah I doubt it's Covid I'd probably have other symptoms if it was. Like I said probably mixture of work and lack of other activity, too much sitting around etc. Just get paranoid with all the stories coming out in the media now lol

I'm the same mate honestly, my missus sees Covid patients every day she's in work so initially I was pretty paranoid we'd get it. I've felt drained, stressed, lack of sleep, over eating, dry cough, fatigue.... All in the last couple of months...all these things play on your mind and its normal under the circumstance mate because the circumstance we are all living ain't normal at all!

If you do worry though mate, deffo go to a doctors just to make sure all is good.

I didn't realise that was still going tbh mate and I think @Billy Dean lives in Germany (though I may be wrong) so it might be a different number

I do indeed. They have something similar but it's a bit less efficient than 111. They always just tell you to go to the doctor. Yeah I've had pretty much all those symptoms you mentioned. Oh well. Won't be forever. Work is easing off now a bit and there's more socialising going on over here which should help.

The only reason I haven't been the doctors myself mate is because he's utterly turd and I can't be arsed telling the practice that he's absolutely crap and I want someone else.

Socialising will deffo help imo, just having a chat with a mate a few yards away feels miles better than texting them. I genuinely enjoy the Thursday clap for all the front line staff over here, just to wave at the neighbours and say hello. Stupid thing like that I've always took for granted.

Yes definitely. I'll be doing that more now. I've met up with a mate 3 times since lockdown and that's literally the only face to face contact I've had with humans in 2 months. Apart from cashiers. Mad really. Should be getting better soon though.

Re your doctor, I wanted to see a different doctor at a practice over here and when they asked I told them I had a personal recommendation for another one and I prefer to go on recommendations. I was surprised they even asked me why TBH.

Around since about 2014, should really be the first contact point for health queries. It's most definitely still around.

Are they the same poor children that suffered 10 years of vicious austerity. Launched against the poor, disabled, vulnerable, weak and frail that is estimated to have caused 130 000 preventable deaths. Saw millions and millions plunged into poverty, that the UN envoy highlighted. Is it those poor people, I wonder? Using the poor to have a go at teachers sums up their new 'consensus togetherness'. They don't give a toss about the poor as their actions have shown.

Is bang right mate.

Don't think I've ever used it mate tbh or certainly can't remember using it. Good to know though just in case.

Is it me, or has the butcher's address last Sunday been utterly taken apart now, and less than a week later it's in tatters?

Back to work met with hostility (rounded off today by the teachers refusing to comply)
Workplace distancing procedures rubbished by unions
R-number heading upward
Ridiculous conflicting info on distancing (house buyers can visit your home, but not family)

This looks a defeated government on Covid19 to me. It cant go on like this without a series of sackings and forced resignations.

Especially since the outbreak occured in a gay nightclub and there are LGBTQ stigma issues in S Korea.

They probably play a lot of northern seoul.
