Clorox Bleachman 2,422 Posted October 31, 2020 Forgot to post this when it was on ITV News last week, but screenwriter Ray Connolly spent almost 6 months in hospital with Covid before being released a few weeks ago. For an 80-year-old who had come close to death he looked well. The laundry list of complications he suffered will no doubt blight him in the future though. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-10-25/ray-connolly-on-covid-i-think-i-was-probably-dying-i-was-on-the-brink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about BBC Scotland correspondent Lucy Adams, "ill since march": https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-54793726 Hmmm. Symptoms are more or less chronic fatigue syndrome. Difficult to live with but it shouldn't kill you. It could, of course, drive some to suicide, but with a partner, a good career and a young daughter, I would be surprised.
