Just reading an article on the Sky News app entitled ‘COVID -19 : UK currently has highest Coronavirus death rate in the world, researchers say’
How have we ended up like this?
Is it because we have maintained connections with the rest if the world throughout this pandemic?

From what I can see, the UK is near the top but doesn't have the highest death rate in the world, or even Europe. Some of the ones above it have had harder lockdowns and more restricted travel, so it can't be purely down to that.
 
Mate mentioned the oximeter. Might be worth investing in. I don’t have the classic breathlessness but I’m convinced I’m not full taking in my share of oxygen. A simple walk up & down the flat is a struggle....crazy as planned to run a half marathon this week.
See what the GP says tomorrow but I’m hoping a burst of antibiotics will shift something along.

that tiredness is surreal...it feels like your eyes are burning & when you drop you need an industrial crane to lift you back up.
Thanks



Keep your eye on the breathing. If it gets worse call 111. Have you got an oximeter? Checks your blood oxygen levels and can help show signs of deterioration. If not order one on next day delivery. Better safe than sorry in these situations.
 
Shit mate, sorry to hear you're not on the recovery. Hopefully it'll soon change. Only thing I'll say, and apologies if I'm speaking out of turn, but perhaps the vit D is helping although it might not feel like it right now. Keep at it blue, deep breaths when you can and try to relax, try and think of the simpler things.
was just going to reply to him with the same,,he's topped up with vit D,i dont think you can overdose on it as the body gets rid of the excess required,he will never know if thats helped him or not because he dosent know how he would have been without it,,its terrible reading the posts of those infected.my fingers are crossed for him and like i said its another day tomorrow and another day to recovery
 
Don’t worry GMP are allocating us all our own personal bobby.

My brother in law had COVID and was struggling to breath so he rang 111 and the paramedics assessed his condition and referred him to a clinic who diagnosed pneumonia on top of COVID and prescribed steroids for the COVID and antibiotics for the pneumonia.
Don’t mess about if you’re struggling to breath - ring 111.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can overdose from vit d because it's fat soluble and your body doesn't excrete it out. Too much can cause hyperglycemia.
 
Give your head a wobble. Things are bad enough without conspiracy theories to deal with too.
i certainly wouldnt rule anything out the way things are in this world, so to give your head a wobble is a little patronising unless ofcourse you are more advanced on the zoonotic possiblities than the rest of us,in which case i'd then ask why your here posting on bluemoon, myself i'm open to read and listen to what i would consider to be acurate articles from at least half reliable sources and to date would swing with a natural virus but never rule out the other untill at least one theory has at least been 100% proved and its a science, until then its not conspiracy because there is no proof of the other

this is worth a read but its long

Brings it home when names that you have seen posting on Bluemoon for years are struggling with this.
It feels a lot closer to home this wave. First wave I hardly knew anyone who had it, never mind died from it. This time I know lot of people who have it and sadly a few who’ve died from it. Really brings it home like you say.
