Chairman Meow
Perth, WA
I'm sorry for your loss ed.
So sorry to hear about your sister in law. Something that's truly awful is made even worse by the virus. Hope you and your family get through to a point where you can mourn her properly.My sister in law died today after a long and formidable battle against cancer. Because of this cunting fucking virus I was only able to get to see her in Wales last week, but at least I made it in time for one last chat.
Cancer sucks. This virus sucks. 2020 sucks.
Anyway, I've been trying to get clarity on the attendance rules in Wales for funerals but as far as I can see it's now up to the individual funeral directors/church or whatever. is that right?
Horrible. And the media just towed the government line most of the time, or literally said stuff like 'they're doing the best they can in difficult circumstances'.
And always worth remembering with these figures that they don't mention people with long term health problems from the virus. The more it was allowed to run rampant, the more people with long term health problems. We don't have figures on it all yet but UK is going to look shit on that too.
Yes, there's a lot of people going to be left with a chronic medical condition and/or disability after surviving covid.
There have been reports of increased incidence of stroke in Covid-19 survivors, so it could be related.A mate of mine has been really knocked about with it (14 weeks off work). A colleague of his told me yesterday that he wasn't the same after that time. In himself but also things like his taste messed up (he's gone from a big coffee drinker to hating it). We're not sure if it is related yet or not, but he had a stroke 2 days ago ☹
You are hereby appointed to do the Official Urban75 Weekly Chart Rundown, I'm sure you know the sort of thing:Considering in Worthing we are down to an inflection rate of 2.7 out of 100,000, some of these numbers are scary.

There have been reports of increased incidence of stroke in Covid-19 survivors, so it could be related.
"But it's only a kind of 'flu"☹
It's fucking shit. He's a sound bloke.
Another of my sisters friends ended up touch and go in intensive care. He's been told to expect it to take at least 6 months to get back to normal, with a chance he never will.
His mate died. All of them in their early 50s
editor said:My sister in law died today after a long and formidable battle against cancer. Because of this cunting fucking virus I was only able to get to see her in Wales last week, but at least I made it in time for one last chat.
Cancer sucks. This virus sucks. 2020 sucks.
This is my worry. I'm dreading returning to college.I'm sorry to hear about your sister in law editor - I hope the funeral goes well. Best wishes to your family.
The more I hear about how even 'mild' cases of covid have knocked people for six, the more keen I am to avoid it tbh! I know in theory you can go and do things with other people now, even indoors, but I am really not keen. Even more so as I'm back working ft in school from September and we all know kids are little germ factories
I am trying not to think about it. I'm one of the lucky ones though, I'm not a teacher and I'm in a bubble with six others in an office. However my husband is starting a pgce in SeptemberThis is my worry. I'm dreading returning to college.
Not just survivors either. It can be part of the main part of the illness and is still not properly understood.There have been reports of increased incidence of stroke in Covid-19 survivors, so it could be related.
From reading this forum and more generally elsewhere on line and IRL, so many people have had friends and family members badly affected -- serious covid illness, or even death
Condolences to anyone who's lost anyone.
By contrast, we're lucky, most of our lot are fine.
One or two (only) that we know have been mildly affected and recovered OK, although an elderly acquaintance of festivaldeb (not a close friend) did die of it in May -- he was just over 80 though
It's a bit morbid to speculate whether our case is really exceptional, but when you hear sad stories sometimes, you can't help but wonder a bit
Same here William, my brother-in-law and my best mate had mild versions early doors but so far we've (friends/family) been very lucky.From reading this forum and more generally elsewhere on line and IRL, so many people have had friends and family members badly affected -- serious covid illness, or even death

I’m just trying to put these numbers into context with the debacle over the Atlantic, where I think the daily average cases per 100,000 for the whole of the US is around 19, and some places are up at around 50 per day per 100,000.

There are fears that the figures in some areas are actually much higher. That the governments track & trace is designed for affluent, English speaking areas and is failing in areas with high populations of non-English speaking communities.
