Keith Houchen Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yeah, Simon done no wrong here, he was asked about it. It’s not like he recently had surgery or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Has there been any talk about how so many people are still getting sick / dying in the UK? We've been in lockdown for like, what, 5 weeks or so now. If the virus has a potential incubation period of up to a fortnight, the people who are getting ill now must have picked it up during lockdown. It seems like if you're going to die from it, it'll happen within a week or two of going to hospital, which again points towards huge amounts of people still picking it up while everyone's supposedly been staying home. If that's the case, surely it would be absolutely mental to even think about relaxing any restrictions yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re then more likely to catch it than a regular person. The underlying health conditions not only means more chance of it killing you, but more chance of you catching it in the first place.

Thats not true, I have asthma and advise from asthma uk states im at no bigger risk of getting it than anyone else. I believe the same goes for diabetes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely forgot that asthma and diabetes are the only form of underlying health condition that people could possibly have. Really sorry about that.

I was just going off the list here for the higher risk people https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/people-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/whos-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus/ I dont know how having most of those conditions classed as at risk gives you a greater chance of getting it.

King Coconut Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Nah, everyone's chances of catching it are identical. Viruses don't send out health questionnaires before doing a spot of infecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
