Radical measures proposed

[Catlover]

A good friend of mine in UK lost her sister, sister's partner and son to COVID.
The son caught it, brought it home (unknowingly) and spread it to his mum and her partner.
All died within a couple of weeks of catching it.
Now have another friend whose sister is currently in hospital with it.
This is not a joke, and I wish people would stop treating it as if it was a big hoax!!!

You do not need to have an underlying illness to catch it, the same as anyone can catch the flu.
However, as many people here suffer from diabetes, heart conditions and other illnesses that can be unduly affected by this virus, whatever can be done to reduce the spread of it should be implemented.
I hope for your sake you don't get it "Enjoying the Sun" as you clearly have a disregard for any safety measures.

Correct, and the long term effects are unknown, although there are indications that there are some, unlike flu.

While you two argue about NZ and Sweden those of us who live in TRNC are more concerned with what is happening here. Please either give it a rest or find a quiet corner where you can enjoy your point scoring.

Well said.

Can the 2 (moderated) who take over every thread with elongated boring nonsense just private message each other and leave the rest of us alone.

- At least Erol has agreed to stop posting on this thread but I understand his frustration.

With regards to the side-effects from COVID, I believe that some of us have actually had the virus and not realised but are now having the side effects. The heat here at the moment doesn't help either so if you are feeling low, rest, ensure you have enough no alcoholic fluids and take good care of yourself. Stay safe .
