Suso Santana Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm starting to get tired of hearing this generic excuse pumped out by the media when someone dies of the corona virus. Either be more specific or GTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¼½¾ Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'd imagine it would be either respiratory or cardiac conditions, does it really matter what one it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnrazor Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 People who are on immune supressing drugs, cancer and transplant patients and the like are especially vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also people with severe rheumatoid arthritis, their medication suppresses the immune system. I only know this as my dad is on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm being honest, if the virus gets within a mile of him he's donald ducked. He also has COPD due to his years of smoking. My sister, mother and I just hope the virus misses him, he's still only 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irufushi Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This virus will kill people on immune suppressing drugs of any age if they catch it. I lost my fiancé in July last year and she ended up catching pneumonia during our holiday abroad. She was on them for a possible future lung transplant. it’s those people I really feel for during all this, the fear must be astronomical. Them and the whole of the nhs.

RS86 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The statistics released show higher mortality rates in people with repsiratory conditions, diabetes and cardiac issues. Not sure how much more specific that needs to be really 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Well I'm fecked. I have previously had a (quite a nasty) pneumonia and other respiratory issues. Maybe I should self isolate and stock up on bog roll, Red Stripe and Leb, skins and tobacco; thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same, had a huge heart attack which left me with a lot of damage to one of my chambers, am also diabetic, but at least my lungs are ok, except the part of my heart that's damaged is the part that supplies my lungs with blood, meaning I get breathless quite easily, so I'll possibly be well goosed if I get it.

superjack Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 There is 1 poster in particular on here I think about when reading about the underlying health conditions and older ages making covid 19 more dangerous.

I'm doomed as well. 🙄 Aged 69. Type one Diabetic on Inhalers for Athsma and blood pressure tablets. On holiday at the moment in Fuerteventura and not got a clue how the new regulations in Spain and Canary Isles is going to affect our flight home on Saturday. Guess we will find out soon I hope.

While you'd assume most people who are young and whos conditions are stable should be OK there's no guarantees so it must be causing a lot of people stress. Especially with conditions like asthma, bronchitis, bronchiecstasis etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
