Greb147 6,809 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just now, mushroom said: 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.

Greb147 6,809 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
