Rose at 66 I’m delighted you’ve lost some weight, genuinely.
Now work on your attitude. No need for this, If you can’t see that at 66 years old you have a lot of work to do.
btw she’s not dead, “was” isn’t necessary.

Yeah I’m sure many people know they are at higher risk but probably not that high
My only feeling on this is that weight has been widely ignored in the media as a high risk factor because it is a hard subject - I’m not sure that actually benefits anyone when 1 in 3 adults in the UK are obese.
I agree we don’t need to be nasty about it or single out one person though.
Struggling today.
It’s my dads birthday. He lives alone as my mum is no longer with us, so we are in a bubble with him. I know I’m lucky that we can see him on his birthday but all we’ve done today is spend another day at the park with my little boy. Literally all we do every single day that I’m not at work. My Facebook memories today were day drinks and meals out. I felt guilty I couldn’t do anything special for my dad. The rest of our family are abroad and I just feel crappy. It’s my birthday in a few weeks too and I know I’ll feel the same then as we had a weekend away booked that obviously won’t happen.

totally agree , there needs to be more of an education regarding obesity because it does get downplayed and plus because theres such a stigma about it, obese people decline and stay away from hospitals because of embarrassment.Yeah I’m sure many people know they are at higher risk but probably not that high

for example , fat in the abdomen pushes up on the diaphragm, causing the large muscle, which lies below the chest cavity, to impinge on the lungs and restrict airflow, this then reduces lung volume leading to collapse of airways in the lower lobes of the lungs, where more blood arrives for oxygenation than in the upper lobes so you are going to get worse faster from COVID-19 and also immunity also weakens in people with obesity because fat cells infiltrate the organs where immune cells are produced and stored so they are already at a disadvantage
And people wonder why people are questioning all this now. Its almost like they want to keep the numbers up, but thats just a silly conspiracy theory
One million people in North West must get Covid test if they have runny nose
A MILLION people in the North West of England have been told to get a Covid test – if they have a runny nose. Health officials are urging residents in Liverpool, Preston and Lancashire, to ge…www.thesun.co.uk
If people asked for a test because of a runny nose, they would run out of them in no time.
Restrictions can't ease until NEXT YEAR due to aggressive strains, warns Sage
COVID restrictions won’t be lifted within the year, even with the vaccines, because of aggressive new strains, scientists say. Experts reporting to Sage said vaccines are “insufficient” to allow th…

But if someone is offered a vaccine and don't want it but then end up in hospital or worse that is their decision.
I’m sorry if this is blunt but thousands of people will, at some point, have to be left to be admitted to hospital and die. We cannot eradicate all illness. That’s stupid. We need to aim for NHS to be able to cope and that’s all we should be doing (when I say “we” I mean everyday folk living with restrictions, the government need to do more clearly).Restrictions can't ease until NEXT YEAR due to aggressive strains, warns Sage

Absolutely. All you can do is offer people a vaccine and if they get badly from not having it that is down to them.
Boris faces Tory demands to drop ALL curbs by MAY amid SAGE warnings
Boris Johnson is under renewed pressure to step up lockdown easing after the government revealed that the top nine groups - around 32million people - should be given jabs by the spring.
I don't get how deaths could double from what they are now if people are vaccinated.
They’re talking bare tit tbhAbsolutely. All you can do is offer people a vaccine and if they get badly from not having it that is down to them.

UK signs deal for 50million doses of tweaked Covid vaccines
The Department of Business announced the deal with German biotech firm CureVac today. It has not said which strains are being targeted, but it is likely to include the South African variant.
Another fifty million vaccines. At this rate everyone will be able to have a new one every day for a week.
Saying this again but you can find articles which support almost every scenario for when we end restrictions. From the incredibly positive to incredibly negative, people will post the extremes to get clicks when the truth is probably some where in the middle. I would place no weight in anything yet.

Families reveal how they have been spending their lockdown savings
Families built up their bank deposits from £1.48trillion to £1.63trillion over the course of 2020 - a rise of £151.7billion, the highest since records began in 1997, according to Bank of England figures.
I am ready to spend too. I can't wait to make up for last year.
The thing that concerns me most about all of this (I have had covid and thankfully recovered) is vaccines against the "new strains".
We all went into lockdown last march and have not left lockdown in any meaningful way since. Now the vaccines are being rolled out since the end of 2020 and ramped up in 2021 yet the numbers are still high, deaths are still happening in the most vulnerable category, and we are all wearing masks and still in lockdown. I understand there are a few nutters around who wont follow the rules but the numbers are beyond that few people. I can't help but feel like there are lies being told somewhere, and you can call it a conspiracy if you want. I predict before 2021 is over everyone that wants the vaccine will have it, yet we will still be in lockdown of some sort with some new thing to be worried about.
I keep saying it, there is no healthy debate but plenty of condemnation going about. Its time some TV station steps up and holds a sensible debate between the likes of Professor Dolores Cahill or someone from her side and someone from the government side and just hash it out live, im not totally convinced Chris Witty & co will be able to answer the questions convincingly

I'm sure your dad had a lovely day with you and your son, moments like that are the special ones.
I was just thinking of the way flu has been brought down to near zero yet it hasn't made a dent in the levels of covid .....

Same.Good to know nobody would give a damn if I croaked it from Covid because I am overweight and should’ve seen it coming and “done something about it in time.”
I mean we all know being overweight isn’t healthy but it’s also not something that can be fixed over night. The woman is in a coma ffs I think it’s a bit late and insensitive to start banging on about her weight.
small comfort in the fact this was the view of one 66 year old woman and not the thread as a whole, who have all rallied to argue it.
it feels a bit like the Christmas to New Years limbo period right now,
nothing happening really just waiting for more nothing to happen
no point talking about the ROI because I’m pisses as HELL about the AZ vaccine restrictions.
not for myself but I know a lot who are 65/70 and up who are really quite worried now.Whats annoying me is that no one seems to be asking Whitty or Boris about this in the conferences? Unless I missed it?no point talking about the ROI because I’m pisses as HELL about the AZ vaccine restrictions.
