Moderators Zico Posted October 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2020 Think a lad i know and his Mrs had it, they get tested regular as she does something for the NHS My nan in law, 91, is in hospital right now with it, went in with something else, got confirmed Thursday Honestly thought she'd be a goner by now, they told the Mrs' aunt to go in Friday as this might be it, so they let her see her as she's now in her own room But since then she seems to be improving, by no means out the woods, but by her own admission feels much better The aunt now has to isolate for 14 days along with her husband, so if she does get worse she's on her own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 My tally has certianly picked up of late. Currently My mate petes got it who Im at most games with, along with his son and mrs. Thats as well as a kids dad from my lads footy. Sweep. Knew 4-5 of the bull lot. Certainly seems a lot closer to home this time round. None have needed hospital treatment.

Lt. Aldo Raine Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Five people. One got it badly and had to take five weeks off work with it, although he just managed to avoid being admitted to hospital. He still says that he's not right (almost no energy, problems with his legs, etc.) and is terrified of catching it again to the point where he spends all day at work wearing a face shield and gloves. The other four either had mild symptoms or no symptoms at all as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 4 MiL - died FiL - caught at same time. Felt he’d been run over by a bus and took months “to get his breath back” Lass at work and her hubby. Both said it was like worst flu ever had. Took about 4 weeks off work. No long term symptoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I know Sweep and he had it! My colleagues daughter tested positive at manc uni. Came home to isolate. He said she had a mild cold. Another colleague had it but continued to wfh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Mate had it first time round. Just turned 30, no health issues other than being quite a bit overweight. Week on a ventilator and in a very bad way at one point. Since recovered with no long term effects. Lad who I went to school with lost his dad. Late 50s and no other conditions. In balance, I must say my dad (77 but active) passed away from a cardiac arrest in July that absolutely wasn’t helped by going from walking 2-3 miles a day to virtually nil exercise because he followed the lockdown to the letter.
