Has anybody in your family had the Corona virus?

[Gandalf]

So the results of the poll then? What does the data say Miles? Did it achieve what it set out to?

I'm intrigued.

I think the conclusion of this investigation is that nobody here knows anybody in their family with the Corona virus. Fenster has a family where there are a lot of paranoid people with colds and Palmer has a pervy drunkard Uncle Albert who has the booze version, but nobody actually has the Corona virus. Personally I have not had a common cold for about 18 months due to a daily regimen of Ginseng that temporarily spiked my estrogen levels. There are side effects to everything, but my nasal passages remain uncongested.

It is a mysterious one for me. I suspect it is very nasty, but I also think it is somewhat uncommon partly due to the efforts of governments to encourage social distancing and arresting people surfing on the ocean completely alone whilst doing no distancing of their own during the arresting process.

My hope for the future is that you all stay safe and avoid using a hanky as it can collect residue for an extended duration. Use something disposable and wash your hands afterwards. Be positive and enjoy life because it is short and cancer or heart disease will typically be the ones that take you down early.

That explains a lot

[Beanz]

11, 329 Deaths in UK Hospitals alone.

214 in South Korea.

Gandalf doesn't have a clue.

Gandalf doesn't give a shit.

Who here does not know someone personally who has been affected?

When we don't even have enough tests for NHS Staff how would anyone know?

Yes, and 200,000 have died from other causes in that time too. I have continually said that we overlook those things and we do. Do I? Obviously not.

Of course I have a clue. Do you think I do not read the news or see people not social distancing there? Maybe they do not give a shit, but I always argue for self responsibility and wear a mask and never put others in harms way.

Has anyone in your family had it? Yes or No? Stop the estrogen thing and vote.

[Beanz]

Yes I have it so does my Mrs, our grandson had it, her brother and Mum have it, and my Dad had it.

Or do we/did we?

Fuck knows without a test.

And shove your poll up your arse.

It won't be the first or last time will it Gladys?

[Gandalf]

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.

[Memphis]

Miles can you define 'actually had coronavirus' please.

Does said person need to have died? Been tested and confirmed? Or do we allow people as we would the flu, to say yeah Ive got some or all of the symptoms so therefor, I have/have had it?

I'm not being mean spirited here. If you say you and everyone you've listed had it, maybe you did.....MAYBE.....I'm dubious of your claim just due to the health issues you've listed for various family members before.

Now either this virus is "just the flu" OR "it's deadly if you've got comorbidities" it can't be both can it? Unless of course there's variations of the virus where it's not as bad for some folks.

Did any of you end up in the hospital? If not, that is MOST impressive given the comorbidities you've expressed in the past. And what your dad has to be up there in age as well, you're 50 that means he has got to be at the absolute VERY least what 66 or so? Did he require hospital? He didn't get tested if he WAS put in hospital? Does that seem right? Especially if the NHS is the best of the best in terms of care provided, you'd just think they'd have the tests and give them to people showing symptoms.


As of today 'The Guardian' says there's 142 cases in Plymouth

Looks like your area is hardly the hotbed of activity all things considered.

You're dubious of this claim due to previously mentioned health conditions? Nah mate, not buying it unless one of you pops yer clogs.

It's from zero to death right? Some will be asymptomatic, some will get mild symptoms. Some will die, most will recover. Some with underlying conditions will be more at risk. No idea who you were quoting when you said it's either flu or deadly, that's just nuts. Probably taken out of context I reckon.

This is no worse than flu right? Would you be so keen to dismiss a claim of flu doing the rounds through a family? Google cases in my (someone elses ) area? Weird.

Only a little bit one time. Apparently some men have the estrogen levels of menstruating women which is in the hundreds. I love my conversations with experts as they tell me the most interesting things. I would never have known that there are men with boobs who are in the permanent state of a woman on her period. Well, I do interact with Beanz, but I never really think of him as betitted. Isn't that awesome? My numbers were only slightly elevated a few points over the male norm which was nothing and why the doctor told me about the period men saying not to worry. We realized my ginseng consumption was a bit high. I learned all this as I do regular blood work. No symptoms. All of us men produce estrogen and you do too. I am within a normal range again now and am not betitted. Very slender is I.

Sometimes things just spike randomly too. My liver did one time when checking something else. I spent a hundred quid on an ultrasound and then 50 quid on blood work, but normal again a week later. 'What was it?' you ask and nobody knows most of the time.

The body works in mysterious ways, but I am of the view that everything happens for a reason. You just have to Sherlock Holmes it.
