Has anybody in your family had the Corona virus?

[Memphis]

If anyone did have Chinese Coronavirus I'd be very interested as to their experience with it and what treatments they received for it.

TIC got it. Told it to fuck off and that he wouldn’t be dictated to. It was all over very quickly.

[El Kabong]

Lyle I’ve no interest in censoring or editing your posts don’t be daft. We’re all grown ups for the most part. Some things we agree on some not, it’s cool.

I’m not here to answer or question whether beanz and his family had Coronavirus or anything else for that matter. They would appear to be fine, that’s all that matters.

Generally speaking. I think the flu is worse argument is running out of track. If it hasn’t already.

Well you seemingly were perturbed that I focused in on Plymouth like people don't know that's where Beanz is. He's got the Devon flag up, he's constantly on about Plymouth, so I guess I'm a little confused as to why it's so bad that I took the time to do a Google search which took me to a site that showed all different areas of where the Chinese coronavirus is spreading and the impact it's having. I'm just sharing facts I can find and my interpretation of these things.

I'm pleased they're fine as well.


I can't ask a question? Is it indecent to? I mean if they actually had it then that is important information right? It's very pertinent to this topic is it not?

[Gandalf]

Does the absence of Coronavirus in your social circle mean or prove anything other than no one in your social circle has it or has had it? Is that minuscule slice of the World supposed to be representative of the remainder?

The goal posts on this have shifted and continue to shift as the true picture is painted. Echoed right here with the question does anyone know anyone that’s had it. To continue to support that narrative We now need to be related.

Let’s hope the answer to the question continues to be no.

I like to put it into perspective. This will pass soon and few will have family who even had it. Everyone will have family who will die from cancer or heart disease. 10 years from now this will be a flash in the pan while cancer and heart disease continue to kill in much higher numbers as they are even now.

It is nasty for some of course and I do not mock anyone's death or suffering. I just don't know anyone with it. My wife must have hundreds of friends and even someone in Daegu. I have less friends, but know a good 20 or so that all have family both here and back home and nothing.

Of course I hope it remains that way. I am a bit worried about Brock actually. Unless he is here, he has gone missing. Dia have you heard from the Brockster?

I get that, nothing wrong with perspective but this is almost like your there shouldn't be special Olympics claim on the basis that they aren't really the best so why bother? Do we relegate Alzheimer on the basis that it isn't as bad as a stroke? Stroke on the basis that it isn't heart disease?

You're having to shift the goal posts again and bring cancer or heart disease into the mix because despite being a decent sound bite to start with, the it's no worse than flu claim (I used it too) is becoming less and less sustainable and something far worse is now required to tow the line.

I am not noving the goalposts. You just did not see the goal posts to begin with. I have always asserted that in the US, for instance, 2.5 million die a year normally. Much of that death is from the common killers. By comparison these numbers are relatively low. In Europe asides from Germany it is a mess, but in some countries the numbers are actually very low and the rate of death not very high. It is not comparable to the great plague or the Spanish flu in terms of numbers.

The Paralympics has nothing to do with this and is a pure decade old strawman point. But if you want to discuss that we can and I would just tell you that people are more interested in men's singles tennis than either the women's or the disabled. It is just how people are. They want to see the best. The crowds empty for less than that. It is how things are. I do not determine how empty Wimbledon is. That is the general public. Argue that with them. It is a different topic though.

[Gandalf]

Cancer, heart conditions, Alzheimer's, etc.......... all diseases that come from genetically pre-disposed conditions, lifestyle, hereditary considerations, and other factors out of our control.

A virus is something you catch from someone else, through some type of social contact.

Can we stop comparing COVID statistics with those of cancer and heart attacks, FFS?

Thanks.

It's about numbers. Cancer is not syphilis but we still care about the numbers and its impact. I do not know anyone with syphilis either, though I have wondered about some.

[Beanz]

Fuck. Here we go. In sweeps Gladys with a poll up her arse and an allergy to any reality that doesn't involve a helmet of mirrors and an adoring camp personal assistant in a gimp suit greasing up her next arse candle.

[Gandalf]

Thousands have had it here and I do not know of anybof them. That is just a fact. Do I deny it is out there and that it affects some people badly? Not at all. I just want to know who here has any family or extended family with it. The answer is still no.

You can argue about low death rates, but I have never asked if you know someone who has died from it, just a more mild do you know anyone who has had it? Again you twist and turn like a demented snake Beanz when your answer is likely a no. You just won't commit to it.

Your claim that everyone in your family has it is either a lie or proof that you didn't take distancing and self responsibility seriously. Make up your mind, stop waffling, and stay on topic.

Is that a no?

[Gandalf]

And no............. thankfully I have no one in my family with the Corona virus, as of yet.

Beautiful response. That was all I was hoping for and if someone said yes, they would have my understanding too. I have no idea what the hysteria is all about, but it is in every thread nowadays.

[Beanz]

So you are saying that it is something that affects most very mildly then? No hospitals, no symptoms? Impressive. You are giving Fensters family a run for their money.

In other words you are too stubborn to admit that your answer is no. There is no shame in that, nobody wants it. It is just something we should ask. We know people AFFECTED by it as everyone is, but who actually has it? Is that such a terrible question?

Why so hysterical? And yes, more people should get tubes up their arses. It would save so many. Of course I want to see people live and prosper and not find they have stage 4 cancer.

That is the tricky part. Many have been tested, so we would assume those people had or even have it, but if it is mild and not as serious as made out then many might had had it and not known. Has anyone got really sick, so sick they could not breathe and needed a hospital? Walrus sounds the closest here, but anyone who got really sick and needed to be hospitalized would be quite a definite case. I don't know of anyone like that. My wife works for a large firm and nobody again, but there was a heart disease fatality today of a friend's husband which is fucking awful, but Corona? No. In a perverse way you just want to know who the people are. I know lots of foreigners with family stateside and in the UK. Nobody. There is sickness, but not Corona.

Does the absence of Coronavirus in your social circle mean or prove anything other than no one in your social circle has it or has had it? Is that minuscule slice of the World supposed to be representative of the remainder?

Of course I hope it remains that way. I am a bit worried about Brock actually. Unless he is here, he has gone missing. Dia have you heard from the Brockster?

I apologise to anyone but you reading this for having to multi-quote, which makes it seem like I am a bit simple or mentally challenged, but as usual you post 50 times in a row and it is the only way to address your bullshit and facetiousness.

I never said anything about it being mild, or having no symptoms or nobody requiring a visit to the hospital.

Yet in your first sentence alone you as usual just made up the idea that i had in order to continue on in your self obsessed fantasy world. And then you follow that by calling ME a liar

And again nobody said asking who actually has, or has had it, is a terrible question, but you again had to pretend that was suggested, in order to avoid the simple fact that any question you have ever asked here has always been rhetorical. You are now in the habit of making up polls to disguise the fact, but it is still blindingly obvious to everyone that you don't really care what anyone actually says. You are only ever interested in having your own bias confirmed.

Plenty of posters here have already told you of knowing people, friends, colleagues etc who have had, or do have it, and some of those are in hospital, and in ICU, but here you are propagating the idea that they are liars. Why? because you never listen or read other posters contributions. You are more interested in quoting and talking to yourself.

So why accuse me of being hysterical for doing nothing more than calmly answering your question? Could it be that you don't want your cosy fantasy world shattered by the intrusion of reality and common sense?

It is amazing that you still think you and your wife not knowing anyone who has or has had it in a country where only 222 people have died, somehow puts you in a better position to judge perspective than those of us in the UK where 12, 107 have died or the States where 24, 537 have died. If anything that is just confirmation of just how deluded and detached from the reality for the majority of posters you really are.

Nobody is saying your country South Korea has not done an exemplary job in handling the pandemic, quite the opposite. So why pooh pooh and seek to mock people in your former country, or the states, where the leaders have dropped the ball and continue to fail their own citizens and health care workers, day in day out. Anyone would think your far right wing extremist ideaology is more important, than what would for most people be a very natural tendency toward empathy, and fellow feeling, in the face of such a unprecedented crisis.

Then you next sentence is again, just you making stuff up. Many have not been tested. You saying they have doesn't make it true. There are many, many people dying in nursing homes or at home who not only never got a test they do not make the figures after dying. Add to that the countless thousands suffering with it at home, who so desperate not to further burden an NHS, where people like my Mrs might not even be offered an ICU bed, (because she scores too highly on the dependency scale) and you can see how truly offensive your idea that people are just moaning too much is.

There are NHS workers being asked not to speak to the media with the fear of losing their jobs if they reveal how little PPE they have, and Journalists being warned not to ask Government minsters tricky questions, and yet you are that anal that you would rather question the figures than face the real conspiracies that are costing people their lives every day.

There is a post from a real old school Saddo veteran poster from here on social media that a few regulars have seen. In it he is lying in bed in a hospital warning others not to be flippant and dismissive. In that he says "All you conspiracy theorist I PROMISE this COvid 19 is not media hype or politicians looking for ways to scare the public".


He has no reason to lie about it and neither do i or the friends i know who have had it. Neither does my best mate from school who is a paramedic, and your suggestion that it is,even for those not needing hospitalization, "a mild thing" , is just so stupid i do not know where to begin in addressing it.

Has anyone in your family had it? Answer the question.

I answered the question on page 3. Which again proves how little you really care about what anyone but you or those who sustain your fantasy, actually say.

That you don't even care about the answers to the questions you pose in a situation like this one, is a pretty damning indictment of how little you care about anyone here really.

Do we need to bring you a body or something?

Do you actually think anyone even cares what you believe? It makes absolutely no difference. Like the other conspiracy theory sheeple you follow, lack of evidence for any of your ludicrous theories, just becomes proof in your eyes of an even bigger cover up.

Nice way of avoiding all your points being addressed though. Just play pretend, and for you it goes away.

Mental.

What a surprise.

Like i said, just like El Kabong, you have already made your mind up, so it makes absolutely no difference that i have already answered your question.

It's about numbers. Cancer is not syphilis but we still care about the numbers and its impact. I do not know anyone with syphilis either, though I have wondered about some.

No... it's about apples and oranges.

To me, it's pointless to mention cancer and heart attacks when talking about COVID-19.

An apples to apples comparison would be the flu, and we've already seen how the numbers go. THAT's where I would agree it's about the numbers.... when comparing apples and apples.

Syphilis is a sexually-transmitted disease and belongs even less in the conversation.



Frankly... I don't know where all of this is supposed to lead. If it's to minimize COVID-19 as a pandemic and a major threat to people's health and lives....... no..... I'm not on board.

So, several people in your family had it despite no testing and all now okay and with all those existing conditions? No hospital, no testing, yet you still all got it?

I am saying I know cancer and heart disease, but nobody with Corona. It has nothing to do with ego.

[Gandalf]

So, if you are telling the truth Beanz and that several people in a town where 142 cases are confirmed are your own family then you have my sympathy and I am sorry that you appear to be so incredibly unlucky. The odds of calamity always seem to be on your side.

Still, by the sounds of it they have all been okay and no emergency care needed. If it really was Covid, you should CT scan the lungs and check for permanent damage. It can come back fairly easily.

Please stay safe and avoid people.
