Dimron Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 One of our managers plays non league football, he played an away cup match with 600 in the crowd (how can they do that?). Car shared with his manger and others as they are not allowed a team bus and all 4 came down with Covid... stupid or what? No pay for him obviously. Lost 2-4 by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you then have a positive test then it is 10 days from that test. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine by me. I’m lucky. I’ve just finished week 32 working from home so no difference other than I’ll have to get other folk to deliver my booze!!

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted October 24, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2020 Missus started feeling shit on Thursday evening, high temp but no other symptoms. Got a test friday morning and just come back positive. She now has a slight cough but strangely just noticed no sense of smell but no temp either, that has gone. Was always going to happen with her working in A&E plus the hospital has seen a huge spike in Covid cases. Me and the youngest started with a cough this morning but no other symptoms.

Burndens Bogs Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Re visiting this thread 5-6 weeks after it started, I was just wondering if there’s an increase in folks you know that have copped for Covid and if any have been unfortunate enough to die from it? When I started the thread I personally knew 6 that had tested positive for the virus and one who had sadly died, 5-6 weeks later I know of around 15 who’ve tested positive, yet still the single death. Just wondered how things are “progressing” for anyone else on here? Edited November 19, 2020 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Got my Grandad-in-law's funeral tomorrow he had covid when he died. I'm reluctant to say he died of Covid as he had vascular dementia and was already in poor health and mentally hadn't been himself for a long time. I'd imagine all covid did was accelerate his passing. One of my long time friends lost her dad in may/june from Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed the same path as my Dad, his eldest brother. Battled his way past 90, suffered from vascular dementia, got an infection, turned to pneumonia, died. My dad was nearly 11 years ago. My uncle was the other week. Blame it on Covid? Who knows. More likely he just conked out after a long life. He had pneumonia. As my mum says, it’s the time of year when “the pensioners friend” visits and takes them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted November 20, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2020 My other halfs nan ended up dying from it 3 weeks after testing positive She made it home at least, with her daughter and granddaughter with her She'd have gone a few more years I reckon, just took away every bit of strength she had left Case wise, next door neighbour currently got it and isolating, same with a mate and his wife, and there was a case at daughter's nursery, meant that class shut down for two weeks, local pub did the same after member of staff got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 Lad's just arrived back from school. Teacher positive, so he's isolating. School counted back and his period is for a week, so could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 Me and the missus had it a few weeks ago. The kids must have had it too but showed no symptoms. I know personally about 5 different families that have had it. None really badly affected as all under 45 years old so as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter fatolive Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 Cousin had it, 43 and hospital required due to trouble breathing and really weak but thankfully full recovery although still lethargic and a little run down. loads at work tested positive and know one ganger in the midlands in an induced coma daughter tested positive in a trial she’s doing for uni for a different type of test ( spit in a tube and get notified) , re tested the swab way and positive , she’s no symptoms, feels fine and is actually happy the spit test seemingly picked up the virus and gave the correct result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 A lady I have known for years and years(aged 70 odd) died of it this weekend after being diagnosed positive a couple of weeks ago. A person I used to care for in the day centre lost his dad and his granddad in March but other than that the people I know who have tested positive have so far come through it just complaining of flu like symptoms and a general feeling of being knackered all the time. It's still a bastard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted November 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2020 5 at work currently off after testing positive out of a workforce of 39, a further 20 isolating as a result. Fucking nightmare, no serious illness though, and I don't personally know anyone who has died from/with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Still don't know anybody personally, but heard from a friend of a friend that 5 blokes at his fishing club in Walkden have got it within the last month and 3 of them have died.
