So, do you or anyone you know, really see people over there getting sick or dropping left and right from this "pandemic"? Or just hear it's happening? Yes, it affects the elderly, (esp. when they intentionally put the sick people back into nursing homes w/ non-affected elderly, w/ preexisting issues) -- but even in highly populated London, what do you see (not hear, but personal knowledge)? I read a couple of months ago this "wave" prob started in Northern UK & blamed on too many young people out partying, having fun in bars, and it spread, I guess? So they stopped all that having fun "nonsense". And coincidentally, it happened just in time to destroy Christmas for the everyone (everyone who still celebrates Christmas, that is)! My relatives live outside London. She said she's heard of, not known, two people, early on, who "might" have had it. A neighbor's daughter and grandchild. Both recovered fine. But one was a child, so IDK. Kids here are not getting it, and def not dying from it.

Where I work the virus was circulating the last week of January - I didn't connect the dots until April mind you when we found out one guy had died from it. He was late 50's, Pakistani with numerous serious health conditions including out of control diabetes, high blood pressure, I think he may have had a mild heart condition he had tests for in the past. Later we found out he had been quite ill but recovered and was resting and home and then had a heart attack. He was classed as a COVID death. We have multiple people where I work who are 50's and 60's and not in great health and most of them made fairly short work of it. We have had people in other years die suddenly of heart attacks in his age bracket. Shocking but not uncommon.

A guy my dad knew that he had worked with on and off for 30 years died of it. He was mid 70's and in the end stages of terminal cancer. He was listed as a COVID death after a positive test. Because of the restrictions he didn't even get a proper funeral. Had it been a normal year he was one of those people who likely would have had a 1000+ people at his funeral.

I'm fairly sure I had it. Loss of taste, never really gave it a thought. I was just glad I didn't get a cold and had to spend a month blowing my nose every 10 minutes this was the 1st or 2nd week of February. My parents both had it. I have never seen my dad so ill he came home from work early but he was bedridden for a few days. Fatigue, fever, aches and pains all over, dry cough. He was not a happy bunny. My mum even stranger was bedridden for a day and she had a dry cough for weeks after. My dad said it was neck and neck with Aussie flu but nowhere near as bad as measles or the 1968 Hong Kong flu. My mum said chickenpox was far worse for her.

Two of my best bros were also laid up with "flu" in February which both said was strange because they hadn't had a proper flu for years. They had more severe symptoms than me but one is Indian and one is black so both likely vitamin D deprived. One realised later - said he was bedridden with fatigues, fever, aches and pains and it felt like someone was standing on his chest. He works opposite the main COVID test station in his area. Sick people come into his building and cough on him and smear germs everywhere and ask him where the COVID tests are (despite being told to stay in their cars and call) and he hasn't been sick after 8 months of that. So I'd say that confirms there is an immunity and he did have it. My other mate works with hundreds of people down in London. He to had a rough time with it. He hadn't had flu for years and only realised later because he was putting Tabasco sauce on his food 3 months later because he couldn't taste much.

So yeah. It's really not that dangerous.

Wow, you know more people than I ever heard of who were touched by it in some way. Most did survive though, and the ones who didn't, did seem to have those preexisting problems & that really is what ultimately caused them to not pull thru. I feel bad that they ultimately lost the battle tho. Sad. You guys hang in there. I do not think from all I have read that your govt is being particularly honest about what's going on. This new strain, & that wasn't enough, now it's STRAINS EVERYWHERE! And a food shortage on the horizon!!! If there actually is a new one or 20, I don't think they are eve saying they are any worse, in mutations are generally much weaker and these are said to be too. If these things even exist!!! . . . and aren't actually just to frighten the population into re-joining the EU. That's more of what it all seems to be about. "We must re-join EU, or we're going to starve, because all countries are (allegedly) terrified to come to our ports, import anything to UK!" I DOUBT that. Here, we had people going back and forth to China during this travel ban even. Even delivering mail. So if it was true and not a fear tactic, the govt would not be terrorizing the people purposely like that. It is a real shame what is being done to this world. I am hoping and praying, because evil cannot prevail. JMHO of course. 🎄🎁🎅🌟 Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever your preference is, and try to make the best of it.
