So so many people think that it's only a disease which hurts old and unhealthy people, and that for everyone else it's nothing more than a mild inconvenience. Your story is important to bust these myths and to serve as a warning to all the people who think they don't need the vaccine because even if they get it they will be OK. Hopefully 2021 brings you a full recovery. Thanks for all the good wishes, VT. On Saturday I went to training with the intention of measuring my heart rate and lung capacity. One of the lads I play with is a doctor, so I knew it would be safe with him around. I did a lap of the pitch and took a reading of my blood-oxygen. The usual level is between 95 and 98, with below 90 considered quite dangerous. I was told to sit down after my lap, because my reading was 85. Dr Teammate reckons it might be lung tissue damage and I’ll be fine in a few months... but says I should go get checked for damage to my heart valves. That would require heart surgery. Not something you hope for at age 33, especially in the US medical system. All of which is to say that I think I’ll be all right but, fellas, avoid this thing if you can. Vaccines are on the way. Don’t get shot on the last day of the war. 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of stress and uncertainty placed on the education sector in the last few days was totally unnecessary. Everybody knew that the schools shouldn't have gone back after new year. Everyone. At least they have (finally) acknowledged this. Edited January 4, 2021 by Lichfield Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Davkaus Posted January 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2021 Remember when scientists wanted a proper circuit breaker, and he did one in name only? Remember when we knew of this new highly infectious variant and let people mix on Christmas? We're not even seeing the infections from that yet. He's a coward, and a liar, and thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of people will die, because he is too scared to make difficult decisions, and only makes them when the people make them for him. In a just world, he'd be on trial for manslaughter by criminal negligence. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So they have gone from threatening court action to stop schools from closing to a complete educational lockdown within a couple of weeks? Not bad. Well what do you expect when our nation's youth are governed by a former lying journalist and fireplace salesman of the year. I have serious doubts this season will be finished. Oh well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2021 My son completely f up his mocks. We were on and on about it but he just didn't put the work in, even with me paying a frickin fortune for a maths tutor. If they rely on mocks he is completely screwed. I am praying they go for some kind of regular assessments as they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Complete lockdown as in you can't see people in your support bubble? I only see my family once a fortnight - only face to face conversation I have. Not sure I can lose that at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be hit with "Now is not the time" if he did. Nothing sticks with this lot, the pm hid in a fridge to not answer questions on the day of election and won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I have a extremely low opinion of Johnson and he lowers it every time he opens his pie face. A national embarrassment on stubby legs. Edited January 4, 2021 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
