Re: Flu/Covid

My belief that more died of Covid WITH underlying causes, than without, was brought into question, even though it is true.

Even I can search for information, so therefore, can anyone else. Even though I have to put up with the usual suspects, name calling!

Re: Flu/Covid

Yes Dominic I know, but not everyone my age can do these things. Indeed one friend of mine, a teaching assistant, doesn't even own a computer, and hasn't a clue how to use one. My first working knowledge of a computer, many years ago, was a main frame computer, so you will appreciate that my working...

Right, now we have got, who should do what, put to bed, what about those numbers, which I was asked to prove, and with some help, have now been.

Is the subject now forgotten in all the 'politically correct' discourse?

You can think what you like. And if I knew how to provide a link I would

Other than that, is it really too hard to look for yourself?

I never knew that to belong to this forum, it was a requirement to comply with another posters request. Interesting, or it could be.

Try 'Google' the same as I did.

I suppose the NHS website might be lying!

Both the friends of mine that died of Covid, they both had underlying health conditions.

You say that the effects of having Covid, were minimal to you. Just so we know, have you ever had Covid vaccine?

Re: Flu/Covid

Maybe, but the majority of those who succumbed to Covid, HAD underlying medical conditions.

As for side effects, it has to be decided if it is better to cope with the side effects of the vaccine, or the effect of catching Covid.

Re: Flu/Covid

It has been the same in the UK, with people not taking up the offer of jabs, both flu and covid.

Without vaccine in years gone by, many of us wouldn't be here today.

MOH wanted to be cremated, he asked that his ashes be placed into my coffin when I die, as I have arranged a woodland burial for myself. That has been agreed with the o...

Re: Update on crematorium?

If the crematorium should be built, would ashes be allowed to be repatriated to the UK I wonder.

It's so costly to repatriate a deceased loved one, to the UK for cremation.

I'm pretty sure it's not Fibromyalgia.

I have a close friend who suffers from that condition, bless her, it's awful.
