He’s been in a care home for a few months, and is not in a good way anyway. Feel bad saying this but I’ve been wishing he passes away in his sleep for the last few weeks. Obviously he will probably die of this and die alone and maybe in discomfort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 The girlfriend's auntie has it. Works in a hospital as a nurse. Very exposed. Sounds like the management caused it from what she's said. The manager's husband came back from Germany and didn't self isolate, and neither did she. And it spread. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antibiotics only work with bacterial infections I think the point is that this is a glimpse into a world where we have an illness we can't treat, which if antibiotic resistance continues, will become a more common thing. Not that COVID-19 is directly an example of antibacterial resistance. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 35 minutes ago, chips'ngravy said: Fake news, apparently. Peddled by Republican Representative Mark Green, broadcast on Fox. French Embassy in Tennessee have denied it. Sounds like another case of the US trying to sully China's reputation further. How weird. Thanks. It’s been reported by mainstream (not Fox) media outlets in the US, too. Given all the stuff China has undoubtedly done over the generic killer virus that happened to start in Wuhan, it seems pretty self defeating and unnecessary to start making things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people aren't pissed off with China anyway. If they had closed that medieval market down 20 years ago like they were supposed to, we may be in a different situation. I'd sure feel guilty if we had started a killer virus in England and it spread across the world killing thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you should feel bad about that. I was talking with my mum last night about how relieved we are my grandad passed last year. With COPD and many decades of bronchitis, he'd never have made it through this, and thinking about him dying at home on his own makes me too emotional for words. It's not wrong for you to wish for a better way to go for your family members. Many thoughts for you and yours. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
