Two deaths in my family from it mate. One 83 (was fit as a fiddle) and the other 55 and zero existing health issues. This virus kills indiscriminately. 

Spoke with a dr not long ago (3-4 weeks) he was Portuguese and had been moved from his normal position to help on a Corona ward. I've never seen a dr cry before, this chap was visibly shaken from his 3 months on that ward talked about seeing death, suffering etc everyday. Tbh I felt he just wanted to unload a bit, so I let him and was sympathetic. Afterwards I just said, no matter how many times you see death mate, it never gets easier. He agreed and thanked me for listening. Gave me my script and off I went. The impact of this will be felt for generations across the generations!

The poor mate was in his late 50's early 60's, he liked his ale and had a gut like most do but he wasn't in a poor state or anything that we know of. 

At one point they thought he was going to beat it but then one of his lungs collapsed and he passed away a few days later. I've read once you've been put on a ventilator you've got a 50/50 chance of pulling through. 

Tbh I'm keeping my wits about me but the thing is not in my mind at all now after all this time, stressing for all this time would be just as bad for your health as anything IMO.

I should count myself luck, yesterday they layed around 60 off at our place. 

That's after countless emails stating we shouldn't be worried.

We have worked right threw and only ever wore masks and gloves if we had a student locked out there room , we where told NOT TO ENTER THE STUDENT ACCOMMODATION  . And didnt unless we had to for four months > But talking amongst ourselves if we get a new lot of students in September come Freshers week we all will be wearing masks 

When they cram them into the halls of residence they get everything from thrush , tonsillitis ,vd , nits etc so this virus will have a hay day

looks like the £100 fine has nothing to do with getting some money back then.have no problem with wearing one but how can the experts lie and then expect us to believe ?

Don't get me wrong I believe in the virus as a good mate and a work colleague of two of my uncles died as well as a few more in the village I grew up in. 

But the last straw that broke the camel's back for me is when we got sent back to work. 

Like most places they talk a good game, they have even appointed so called a Safety Distance Warden for each site, what a bag of bollocks. 

I have not seen one gang adhere to the rules given, impossible to do when there's graft to do. 

I have now gone back to only washing my hands after getting shit on my fingers when wiping my arse.

I'm the same... Covid officer is a right f***ing nazis on the site I'm on..
