Covid-19 discussion thread

Well, no of course not, I agree on that.

You certainly didn't deserve to be called a "bully" but I think that the truth is hard to take sometimes by those in denial. No excuse though.

UPDATE: Just spoke to my daughter and she looks, sounds and feels a little better than she did yesterday. Taking the meds and resting as much as possible. They're both still really hurting but the meds are doing their job.

Thanks again for the positive thoughts.

Good to hear FMP sending her even more healing wishes

Sorry FMP, I lost your post amongst everything else, looked back -

Very good news indeed. May they both continue to take steady steps to recovery now. Out of interest - what medications has she been given ? (because obviously antibiotics aren't useful)

[Carys]

I'm kinda there with that but it's still not nice either.

I'm ok with that too Terry to be honest. It doesn't affect me, but it would have done many years ago.

Yes I missed the update too so apologies..

Good to hear that the news is better. Maybe she's had some of the stuff Trump had? Certainly worked wonders for him!

Such bad luck to contract the virus when she did.

I too am happy to hear your daughter is somewhat better FMP. Needless to say, she and you remain in my thoughts.

Its good to see that we're now having a debate about debating. Could this perhaps extend to a debate about debating about debating?

Even though (dare I say it) I find some of Phil's views and opinions myself questionable at times, in fairness, it's probably not wise to be discussing him on here behind his back right now.

And before anyone pipes up, yes I know I'm not a mod!

Due to the pneumonia, she was given a Z Pak... several doses of an antibiotic to help knock it out as well as a prescription cough medicine to help dry up the mucous/flem and alleviate the coughing.

What is a Z pak ?

[glassgirlw]

Good news for sure FMP!

Carys - a ZPak is typically a 5 day, high dose antibiotic course meant to help with bad infections. They usually work very quickly and are fantastic at alleviating the worst of the symptoms!
