I’m 6’4” and quite a big build so I came in overweight at 16 stone. The nurse just laughed and told me not to worry about it at my health check .
Glad to hear your mate is mate is doing ok in hospital Rev.

Yeah (a stone less though) put it down to being quite active and lifting weights and having a big build.

@rev good to hear your mate is doing better.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Coronavirus
I weighed myself on Monday morning and I've lost 9lbs since isolating 2 weeks ago.
Good News Rev - lets hope this is the start of his recovery...

Re: Coronavirus
It's lung function which is the big issue, I imagine - not sure whether being overweight affects pneumonia much.
How close to you lot is Coronavirus reaching? My brother-in-law's 6yr old son has it (at least, suspected) and one of his best mates has it (definitely). I've not seen either of them in the last couple of weeks but some family members are bound to have done so. Gloucestershire hasn't had too many cases so far, so we're behind the curve when it comes to the spread of infection, yet people are already complaining about being bored of the lockdown and going out to play football in the park together, etc.

Re: Coronavirus
Nobody I know has it, that I’ve heard of. There have been a couple of people at work isolate after having a persistent cough, but that’s about it.

Several of the people in my wife's extended team have got it.

Re: Coronavirus
Is it bad that I'm finding the constant opening of emails with "hope you and your family are all well" and closing of them with "stay safe" a bit cringe?
Re: Coronavirus
Apparently Scotland in general hasn’t been as badly affected as down south but I’ve not heard of anyone who’s definitely got it.Jobbo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 11:17 am It's lung function which is the big issue, I imagine - not sure whether being overweight affects pneumonia much.

Re: Coronavirus
One of Edinburgh's few CV deaths was a friends next door neighbour. He was an old boy, but his son (late 40s/early 50s) is apparently in intensive care. Neither known to me personally, but it makes it *feel* relatively close.

Re: Coronavirus
One of the guys within our group of companies has sadly passed away aged 48.
Re: Coronavirus
Very sorry to hear about your mate but glad that he's making progress to recovery.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 10:38 am
It’s definitely worrying. He’s not the pinnacle of health but probably “normal” for his age group. If I got it as badly as him, I think with my underlying conditions I’d be a goner.
Edit: update from his wife: the docs are “happy with his progress”
His age concerns me a little though. You say no underlying health conditions but I suspect many are often overlooked due to not wishing to offend in this era of PC madness. So can you please confirm which one is applicable here. Is he;
a) A shirtlifter (the non-macho sort)
b) Vegan
c) 'Non-binary'
d) A bit like beany
I'm sure we can resolve this troubling anomaly.

Stay at home they said, it’ll flatten the curve they said.

Re: Coronavirus
I think I've had it already but thought it was a cold, stayed in for a week and didnt cry much. I reckon the worst place you can go is hospital.
Re: Coronavirus
I can’t find much of a source but is the U.K. now counting deaths outside of hospital too?

Re: Coronavirus
Any idea where she’s picked it up? Glad he’s picking up, hopefully not too long of a recoveryNotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 10:09 amHe was self-isolating because his wife had mild symptoms the week before and recovered.
My uncle has tested positive- was sharing an office with someone else who was tested after showing symptoms (oil refinery, they arranged the test- courier came, gave kit, waited and took completed swabs away)
He’s had fever, constant cough for a couple of hours and felt a bit achey. Aunty had similar but described breathing with the cough like trying to breath through a straw. Not pleasant stuff
