They gave me nothing.
Just an appointment for Tuesday morning for more bloods and an x ray

I’m not kidding.
see folks, this is why the NHS sucks and centralized health care shouldn't be introduced to America. I hope they learn their lesson!

The plot thickens further. They just called me with different results. A complication. I have to go in now.

Eh no. I’m busy. (I actually am )

That’s in Britain Bune.

Ireland doesn’t have the NHS. Just a similar model.

I’ve read this loads too.

There no way this is a regular flu I’ve been through the ringer the last week especially. But I’m way better now. I’ll take my tim getting to them just as they did coming back to me.

My brother has spina bifida, and suffered a terrible infection in his lungs due to a shunt detachment back in the 80’s. His wife is a nurse, who will be unable to call in sick and will be repeatedly exposed. His death, after a point, becomes probable.

I missed this. Fuck.

That puts all of it into stark relief.

So many people I know shrugging this off and saying well a regular flu kills more people every year blah blah

Try living in these headlights.

Fuck.

Hope it works out for the best McP

Yeah, I'm not necessarily worried about myself but my mom, who's otherwise healthy, is 78.

Teetering between let's lock everything down and let's just get it over with.

Dude in New Hampshire didn't give a flying rat's ass. Should we kill him or kiss him?
