Wishing you a speedy recovery heathcliff23

I also wish POTUS a speedy recovery, I am sure that the military hospital he is in will have been chosen for its security and excellence.

Money can buy you excellent care, but if your number is up there is nothing that can save you.

I heard a man on the radio last night who said that he’d had mild symptoms, and 2 hours later was unable to walk - it comes on that quickly. This man was immediately put on a ventilator and still has very short breath.

Sending very good wishes for a speedy recovery your way. I’m very pleased to hear you’re beginning to feel better.

I am currently in hospital with Covid. Mine deteriorated rapidly in 24 hrs to the extent of not being able to breath and having to call an ambulance so it can happen that quick

Keep your chin up Heathcliff23 - get well soon flowers

“ ...and am starting to feel better”

Really good to read, Heathcliff. Wishing you all the best and hoping you’re back home before too long.

Here’s hoping all medical staff are Trump supporters. Must be very difficult to administer the best of care to someone you despise knowing so many can’t afford any hospital care due to this particular patient.”

The medical staff will be better than that, if they’re anything like UK professionals. They just get on with the job in hand, whoever the patient. Special people, not sure I could do the same.

Anyone think he’ll be injecting himself with disinfectant? didn’t he think this seemed like a good idea at one of his COVID press conferences?

There was absolutely no suggestion that NHS staff were lying - until the accusations started. When you read the post through, it's very pathetic, just any excuse to put the boot in!

NHS staff have seriously breached patient confidentiality if they have said anything at all about Johnson's illness apart from the most anodyne of observations, such as 'he made us laugh' (I'm using this as a made up example). All those who have worked, or who have relatives currently working, in the NHS ought to know that.

Thank you for asking Mrs Rochester. I have had excellent care, steroids antibiotics and oxygen and am starting to feel better. I really cannot find the words to explain how ill I felt. I truly did not realise the rapid speed and effect this virus can have on your body. I feel very lucky and immensely grateful for such wonderful prompt care from our wonderful NHS

How are you doing, Heathcliff? Hope you’re on your way to recovery.

DT is a massive threat to the world. His administration has plunged the USA into chaos. Another 4 years will do untold damage to the US but also to the world. If I had been alive during WW2 I would have been wishing/wanting Hitlers death. I feel that Trump is as dangerous. He has dismissed and downplayed Covid which has caused many unnecessary deaths, he is now getting a dose of what he deserves. I for one do not wish him well.

The world would be a better place without him but he’s bound to recover and pass it off as nothing and if he doesn’t he’ll become a martyr which would be just as bad.
