Disney animator Ann Sullivan, 91, becomes the third Motion Picture Home coronavirus death.

The Motion Picture Home has some interesting people inside, most notably DL forum regulars Ruthie Thompson and Glynis Johns, but also Helen Reddy and Joanne Linville. Will some of them fall to the 'rona?

I was randomly thinking about Glynis earlier this morning - hopefully she will survive but once it's in a home the majority of residents will get it sadly.

Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald has said she has received a positive diagnosis for Covid-19.

Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald has tested positive for coronavirus, and has developed pleurisy in one lung as a complication.  

[CoffinLodger 1,248]

Apparantely there has been a big increase in non corona related deaths compared to other  years. Could be due to people with other conditions either not getting adequate treatment or maybe not seeking treatment because they don't want to overload the NHS.. The top medical people are very worried about it.

Been very unwell these last few days. It really does hit you, couldn't get out of bed and just wanted to sleep. I've never been this sick before (appendix aside). But feeling alot better today.

 

Had very bad muscle aches especially in hip, knee ,shoulder and thumb joints. Smell and taste still gone muscles still aching but less so now,have developed a bit of a cough . No fever or breathing difficulties. Wife rang 111 they put us through to a medical assessor and them deemed it can be treated at home with paracetamol . 

 

No paracetamol for me I'm taking these. Stay safe everyone god bless. Thanks for the kind words .

Paracetamol should be okay and will ease the symptoms of your body's response. I'd just advise you to stay clear of ibu-profen

Vitamin C and D3 are very good. I would also advise Omega 3 – it's more use against a bacteria than a virus but still effective.

[msc 18,476]

Yeah, as one of the "vulnerable" I'd been advised against Stewart Adam's brilliant drug (to get round the block on saying brufen on here) as it can cause issues with corona apparently. Annoying as it was my go to for pain relief.

The thought occurs that although your listed interest has been unchanged for absolutely ages msc, it is suddenly an order of magnitude more apt.

It's from an old quip by Lemmy. "The trick to not dying is to keep breathing, mostly."

 

 

[En Passant 3,741]

I did consider it might be something like that, but couldn't place it. Thanks.
