COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I heard that earlier and am not ashamed to say I wept.
Not that any death is more of a loss but I remember when I was carrying a child and was so looking forward to welcoming and holding my baby.
I really can't bear to think of the child's loss of a mother, the wider family's loss and, of course, her loss.
It's just awful.

I really don't know what to say lovely

It's just an awful, awful story isn't it :-(
And all the people dying without the touch of a loved one in their final moments :-(
Although I have watched the news today and I understand that is now being addressed.

Sister and her Hubby in Heywood have got. She is on the mend thankfully but he has not got out of bed in over a week. It's floored him.

My parents closest friends have both had it. And similarly, the husband was in a bad way and spent 10 days in hospital before recovering and being discharged at the weekend. His wife had relatively mild symptoms. So strange how it can affect people who share so much personal space so differently.

I'm ok Karen, thanks for asking.
Back at work (was sent home for 2 weeks as I once had to undergo a pneumothorax so they were being cautious).
Hope you are feeling better too xx

A colleagues father is 92. Has cancer and caught the virus. Everyone thought he wouldn't survive, but he did and was discharged from hospital a few days ago.
I'm really interested in how the DNA studies will pan out for this (there was a quick 5 minutes on the BBC about it the other night). How someone like my colleagues dad can survive yet a seemingly fit 20/30 something doesn't.

Seems to affect men worse, and they still don't believe in man flu...

DNA, blood groups, all these potential factors we don't know about yet, but the sooner we can uncover it the more targeted our measures can be.
