People should read less and base their opinions on reality. I see it as a lottery virus, some don't know they've had it, some just like a cold, flu, others it kills. I had a cough last week I was in Thailand in February, carried on for 2-3 weeks, cleared up. Felt exhausted through March and April. Never had a test in UK when I got back because they weren't really looking/testing for it unless you had a fever then. Will never know if I've had it or not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there are still those who refuse to take the Covid seriously. I read more and more that even those who survive the disease suffer horrible lingering aftereffects. Yes they are calling it 'Long Covid' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a few months since those who had it and recovered which is 98% ! When I look at Boris Johnson he still doesn't look to be back the way he was. As for trump I'm not sure he ever had it.It may have been a mild case.There's a full hospital in the white house apparently,why go elsewhere? For the photo ops?

Popular Post Timwin Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hong Kong flu pandemic of 1968-1969 was very similar. 1-4 million died globally WITH MUCH LESS PEOPLE AROUND. Did they lockdown, shutdown, restrict everything? No, even Woodstock happened! People washed their hands more often, maybe busses were not as crowded as normally but that was it! No masks, no panic, no mask-karens shouting, no power hungry fascist morons trying to boss around people. We have become a bunch of scared little b*tches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The coming months are going to be very interesting as some sensible governance will be required with very little in the way of cells on offer ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yeah, the reaction has been pretty weird, I guess eventually someone will sit back and realise the cure is worse than the disease. No doubt we will lose a few pensioners, and health services will be overwhelmed. Life ain't perfect, never was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Town Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The restaurant at the south end of Jomtien Beach Road (big blue crab statue outside) was in full swing new year's eve. I guess some hiso's think they're above any danger of catching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is posts like this that are making things worse than what they really are. It might have been more accurate to say small numbers have suffered lingering health issues after recovering from Covid. Obviously not including those who had mild symptoms or were asymptomatic. Seemed to take Boris a while to get back to his usual silly self.

fulhamster Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 All back to normal after 24 hours ?? Yesterday early evening, Pattaya Facebook pages were alight with restaurant owners imploring people to eat at their restaurants which had been suddenly allowed to re-open amazingly quickly into an indefinite shutdown. So today all can re-open as usual.?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Hospitalized Again. And Again. Significant numbers of coronavirus patients experience long-term symptoms that send them back to the hospital, taxing an already overburdened health system. How many of these numbers are old people, people with existing health problems, and people with questionable lifestyles causing obesity etc. Yes I accept that younger people with no existing health problems or questionable lifestyles will experience long term symptoms, but I would think they are in a very small minority, and I honestly do feel for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, a lot of the people with problems are older and with health problems. But many are not. Young, healthy, and sick. And many who are older and with health problems have been infected due to the selfish actions of the young and healthy. No easy answers here other than we are all in this together. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
