I was very lucky to squeeze my 40th in before the lock, only just though. Might I suggest that you have two birthday's this year? Pick another date for when this is all over and celebrate it properly. I've actually told everyone that because Boris has cancelled all celebrations I'm staying 39 for another year 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound much calmer and stronger than I would be. Just got to get through it, shit times but after you've come through you'll be great. I think I'm calmer today because I have more natural energy. I am scared to rest on my laurels as it feels like this thing is lurking around my body just waiting to attack. I know how dramatic and crazy that seems but it's made me freezing then overheated, it's given me violent headaches around my eyes, my nose is raw, I have no smell, my skin felt like it was being burnt, all my joints have ached, everything tastes yacky and now it is trying to start in my lungs. It's like it goes all around you looking for a way to mess you up. I felt better because of not being so lethargic but when I looked in the mirror it was a stark reminder. Another thing, I have to remain calm. Anxiety will start my Asthma off and I can't afford that. Edited March 26, 2020 by Villarocker 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did attend a conf call this morning for work with one of our colleagues dialling in from China and she did confirm the restrictions are being lifted, shops are opening back up and things are returning to some semblance of normality. But who knows how well 'trained' she's been......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 2 minutes ago, Xann said: Exactly. Westminster starved the NHS in England, while Scotland’s NHS with its 58 ICU beds, was run lock stock and barrel by the SNP. The Conservatives will pay the reputational price for austerity after this, as they should. The original discussion was about Sturgeon trying to find a nationalist angle to the Coronavirus, so I’m not sure what point your trying to make? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 2 minutes ago, Awol said: ... so I’m not sure what point your trying to make? Westminster under Bliar and the Filth shed NHS beds. Scotland is better at looking after the NHS than Westminster, that's now pumping money into the extra private beds. Just the way the Filth like it. Scotland (like Eire) utilise Newcastle for some specialist and intensive facilities, that goes some way to explain the bed count for now. Though when Scotland gains independence, I would (or did, who knows since the current situation?) expect this to change quite drastically as they attempt to become self sufficient.

sne Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Can't shake the feeling that Anders Tegnell, they guy who is handling the CDC in Sweden is a lot like the android Ash from the first Alien movie. He appears fascinated by the virus and to see part of the Swedish population as expendable in this big experiment of his where Sweden act completely the opposite way of every other country in the world.

markavfc40 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I doubt the man below is the first this has happened to and won't be the last. The advice to me seems a little bit dangerous basically telling you to get on with it unless you get to the point where you are struggling to breath. I think it was @LakotaDakota who had paramedics come out and actually say that to him even though he was really struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like saying why aren’t we in a joint programme with Russia, or Algeria. Why would we be? The argument here is that because we are in the transition period, we are entitled to access the EU procurement programme. I believe many people are of the belief that being part of the procurement programme would lead to the faster delivery of more ventilators and other medical equipment than has been possible by asking British manufacturers to retool (I take no position on which side of this is right, because I don't have anywhere near enough information to judge, but it's not a ridiculous suggestion on the face of it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really say here why you're wrong, but my friends are at all levels in the NHS, including setting clinical standards. The Tory Filth's chums are constantly trying to waste money and break the service. One of Cameron's advisors tried to pull a number that beggars belief. Fundamentally bad, with dire social consequences for most, in the service of his private paymasters. He was foiled, but still kept his position. Scum. The current situation is too chaotic to make any reliable predictions, but before this current situation kicked off, many medical friends had an eye on relocating North of Gretna.
