Thanks everybody. I'm pretty much OK now, apart from having to pace myself and do things even slower than normal. I was bad for a couple of weeks when I had flu/loss of appetite and the coughing and accompanying shortness of breath due to fluid in the lungs. Those two are the real problems - any (and I mean any, however slight) movement makes you short of breath, which makes you cough, which makes you gasp for breath even more, which makes you want to cough more: it's a real vicious cycle. Just going from the bed to the loo was enough to set me off.

I was extremely lucky, however. I discovered that if I laid down and raised my top half at about 135 degrees, it miraculously eased the pressure on my lungs and I could breath fairly easily and therefore not be coughing all the time. Unfortunately the missus wasn't as lucky as me and couldn't get that ease of breathing so she was coughing and gasping all the time, which ended with her having to go into hospital - which frightened the life out of me on her behalf. Thankfully they let her come home after a week, and although she is getting better little bit by little bit, two weeks later she's still coughing a lot and only just able to tackle the stairs (I had to set up a bed downstairs for her).

So...we're getting there, albeit slowly. She's even planning a weekend break for when it's all over - if she can find somewhere that's open!

I see he's at it again. Playing politics with the crisis, the amoral Kitson.

Here he is questioning why the Federal Govt should financially help out Democrat-run states with CV-19 bailouts.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/494807-trump-asks-why-taxpayers-should-help-bail-out-democrat-run-states

Here are the facts on the degree to which Democrat-run states subsidise the idle, feckless layabouts [1] in Republican states 365 days of the year.

https://apnews.com/2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c/AP-FACT-CHECK:-Blue-high-tax-states-fund-red-low-tax-states


[1] I shouldn't have to say this, but for the record, that is ironic use of right wing language for those who take out rather than put in. I don't really think they are layabouts. They just happen to have the misfortune to live in states that are run by economically illiterate Republicans.

I think there's quite a lot riding on the US election for us in the UK Billy .

If Trump loses to Biden then it could and should be the end of the populist idiots , which isn't to say Biden is all that but I'm sure you take my point .

Slay the biggest monster and the rest will disappear .

I had to read that three times.

First twice I thought Trump's campaign manager was Joe Pasquale.

That would explain a lot.

Look like orange boy wants to counter media surrounding the news that US Intelligence that says the virus wasn't man-made.

''Trump claims he has seen evidence of Covid-19 originating in Wuhan lab
When asked if he has seen anything that gives you a “high degree of confidence” that coronavirus originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, President Trump replied: “Yes, I have.”''

Now there are sexual allegations being made against Sleepy Joe. Maybe they're untrue, but you know what political witch-hunts are like in the US.

What goes around comes around.

Just watching a US PBS prog on how the virus got into the US and Washington State indentified patient 1, not sure what the prog is called will post if I can find it.

Washington State had it sussed by Feb 4 and then were frustrated by you know who, it's worth a watch if you can access it.

Big news that I'd missed over the weekend.

CV-19 appears to be running amok in the White House. Trump's personal valet has tested positive, as has one of Pence's personal assistants, and Stephen Miller, a senior Trump adviser.

Fauci has warned that there will be serious consequenses if the US lockdown is lifted too early.

This is a direct warning to trump saying if you do it it's on your head if it all turns to mud you can't come back to blame and fire me. At least there is someone with balls left.

A leading virologist in the USA is testifying to Congress shortly. His written statement has been released. In it he says, "Without clear planning...2020 will be the darkest winter in modern history."

That has chilled me to the bone.
