My aunt had the antibody test earlier this year and was positive. She works with my wife in an enclosed space but was the only one out of a large group that tested positive.

Well done and thank you that man.

If only everyone, positive test or just notified of contact through test and trace, was as responsible as you pub landlords wouldn't be crying into their beer, people wouldn't be stockpiling bog rolls and no one would be wailing whinging and bleating about Christmas like it's the be all and end all

Thanks again, lets hope more follow your lead



Thank you for your kind words Ipswin. I am getting another test on Monday, if I am clear I can get the last night in the pub before lockdown!

I should have added I only spoke to the doctors over the phone and they both gave me my diagnosis without seeing me.

And you’ve earned that trip to the pub.

What’s clear from this little sample of the population is that this thing is serious and anyone who plays it down does not understand the facts.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

During the flu pandemic 2009 - 2010 I was seconded to Liverpool to work on making flu vaccine. We were given lectures on viruses from experts in the field which has given an insight into them. They are evil little illegitimates, that can outwit the very best man can do. We can only control them but we will never eradicate them completely.

PLEASE DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEM OR TAKE THEM LIGHTLY.

They kill and as in my case, it's the luck of the draw.

Quoted from mimma
My son was sent home from work with symptoms. As a precaution all four of us were tested. I was the only one who was positive, so I am now isolating in the back bedroom. It's been 10 days now and so far I haven't had so much as a cough.  If it wasn't for my son getting a cold, I wouldn't have been tested and would have been walking around infecting everyone.

I am (so far!) one of the lucky ones that don't have any symptoms but I am well aware that I could have spread it to more vulnerable people I know who could die from it.


Good work Sir 👏👏👏

One of my colleagues contracted it and then got double pneumonia, he beat the COVID but the toll it took on his body was too much and he died of a heat attack a couple of days before he was due to leave hospital, he was just coming up to being 40.

People need to follow the rules that’s.

Non football this BTW.

My mum is 89 and has already died from it although she is still alive.
Her doctor told me the care home has cases, they cannot enter and have to fill in a death certificate over the phone.
He then realised what he said, blustered, tried to back track but all recorded.
Take that how you want, I know my views on this bullshit.

So 20 people have ticked they know people that have died from it?

Sorry i dont believe that figure. a few yes but not such a high percentage f the vote.

I know of 17 people mainly at work but also a few neighbors that tested positive. none seriously ill at all as yet.
A fair few of them with no symptoms at all and only got tested as partners ect had positive tests.

One was tested as he had to to play footy for a team, he came back positive. his wife and kids all had test and all came back negative which is odd.
