Covid 19 Part XXII-30,360 in ROI(1,781 deaths) 8,035 in NI (568 deaths)(10/09)Read OP

The very low death rate as opposed to March-May is brilliant news.

There was nothing worse than when we averaged 40 deaths a day and hit 77 one day.

Thanks for all the links telling me it'll be grand. I listened to people in march when they said it'll be grand.
I'm not afraid. I just think people don't understand it fully. No-one does. Same thing happened during aids epidemic.
Everyone saying "it's grand, there'll be no long term consequences" quite simply don't know. You may think you know, good for you.

Some people when faced with an uncertain future just hope for the best. Others try to understand it and plan to mitigate.

It's easy to say it'll be grand. It hasn't been grand has it?

That's great. So it'll be grand. I wasn't aware thanks. Phew.
Great to know why though.

Couldn't all those athletes have had the heart issue before covid? They didn't take a before and after scan I presume? Very inconclusive and misleading article.

Gruffalux · 03-09-2020 09:56PM

Did anyone post this? I haven't been reading. This young chap with no co-morbidities had almost symptomless covid. Listen to his video. Fexake.

do you?

It seems I do. Never knew that. Device is connected to work account so assume it’s one of the scientific subscriptions we get access to. Try googling undetected myocarditis. The link I posted should be in the top few results

I believe you are the 3rd or 4th person to post it. I haven't listened to it. I read the bit where he said he thought he wouldn't get sick, ever. Yet he's a doctor.

Roid use can cause heart issues aswell. Not unknown for athletes to partake.

Prime Time discussing the question there whether someone elderly would prefer to just die now or live out their life under the current restrictions, a valid question.

I would be a bit younger than you I think, the thing that I take from the aids similarities is that it is supposed to have come from chimpanzee s.

A no brainer. Living in the current restrictions is perfectly workable for most older people. An active life is still very much possible. It's not ideal and there are drawbacks but compared to death???

Could you report back on this? Can't get RTE player to work properly! I can't even imagine what it's like to be elderly during this time. I'm so lucky to have two elderly grandparents and it would break my heart to think they would choose the former and would like to hear what's said if you don't mind sharing!

Anyone here who trains regularly and notices an increase in resting heart rate for a time following a cold or flu?

I've experienced this after illness but I always thought it was due to not exercising during that time. Happens sometimes after a holiday or Christmas too (low activity, not eating as healthily, drinking more than usual and probably less quality sleep as a result) so I never thought much about it to be honest.

For me if I was in a nursing home with a life expectancy of 4-5 years and was told there would be 3 more years of the current restrictions I would prefer to be dead.

Exactly, training hard with any virus can cause heart issues.

Peter Flynt · 03-09-2020 10:18PM

We're making a fool of ourselves with these idiotic regulations especially when I consider I will be minimally distanced from 1000 others working in a school next week (where apparently no COVID rules apply at all).

Banana Nanny Republic.

Yeah but not necessarily when he had the symptom which at the time was not listed as a symptom.
It is also a symptom of the common cold in fairness so he might not actually have had it.

One thing I'd ask is "post Covid syndrome" a clinical term and have there been many cases? Are there other examples where two months after diagnosis people have been admitted to ICU?

Is there another possible explanation for his illness? Maybe they have certainty that he had it, it's just not detailed in that article.

Sounds like he never had a positive test though, but of course doesn't mean he did not get infected.

I really think you guys are scraping the barrel here with this argument.

Obviously he had the virus , he is first in a clip about healthcare workers who had the virus on the news !

Do you not think it would be the first thing they would check before putting him front and centre of a whole segment , lol?

Really , you are all ridiculous with your Strawmen arguments .

I am wondering if you are all old enough to be allowed post on boards?

Are ye over 18 ?

At this stage having had two kids pass me what seemed like every virus going over the last 6 years, I regard my heart rate as an indicator of being about to get struck by the latest cold. Interestingly, I also experienced a 10bpm increase in March and took 3 months to return to normal, but had no cold flu or other symptoms. I wonder.

It's crazy that he's now coming across as one of the most sane people in all this, but he is.

I'm guessing from the two comments directed at me you are seeking a row, sorry not interested . Try someone else. Thanks.

That's so interesting, I've never looked into it much before and just thought it was lifestyle stuff. Definitely something to think about. Mine would usually fluctuate about 5 or 6 max so nothing major but now that I'm back exercising regularly and back working regularly in a school I'll be interested to see if I do get a cold or anything if there's a correlation. I would love to see my stats from my first year teaching when I was hit with everything going :pac:
