Can people stop peddling ‘only old people, already ill people and fat people get ill from it’.
I’ve know 6 people to get it. One was my mother in law who is mid 60s. She was bed ridden for a month and can’t walk up a flight of stairs any more her breathing is that bad.
I know a triathlete and a yoga instructor who both got it in March, mid 30s and are STILL having bouts of fatigue and having to stay off work.
The other 3 (just had the flu and were really ill for a couple of weeks.
Only one was over 50. None were obese. None had underlying health conditions.
It may be more likely to affect the elderly and already sick. They might be more likely to die. But that’s not the full story. This has serious implications on a lot of people, no matter who they are.

Yep anyone can get ill from it obviously, my previous post stated the majority are older which is technically true. I don't think the government saying go out and get fit is going to massively improve the situation that was the general point.

Lost my job. Cant travel to find a new one anytime soon. Universal credit barely covers my rent. Dont agree with lockdowns, masks and restrictions. Dont get overweight. Had as bad a year as most. Never died or got sick bar a shoulder twinge doing the big heave ho horizontal on the bench. I joined GOT a bit over a year and a half ago cos I was lonely and since had many smiles. The summer covid stuff was my downfall. Im a rs. Ban imcoming.

Come on you blues.

This isn’t hysteria. It’s not just excess deaths that we need to worry about. There is also an argument to say that the economy will be affected to a greater extent long term if we don’t control the virus. I’d imagine mental health would be greatly affected too in that environment.

It’s not quite as simple as ‘we can open the economy up and sure some old people will die but everyone else will be fine and rich’.

We could all end up much much worse if things are left alone.
