I was in a Casino with my mate (Im not a gambler) and he was on the roulette with one chip left, don't remember the value of it and I said 'stick it on 19' - he did and it came up!

We had slap up tea at Mrs Miggins Pie Shop/Got a Kebab that night!

The noise of it drove me mad, like rain pelting on a corrugated iron roof. I couldn't sleep and kept taking it off. Got bollocked for it then they gave me one that just went up your nostrils, that was fine!

I was on a drip for weeks and don't remember eating any food, started feeling better and ate, did my first poo for ages and I had to apologise for it, did it in the little hat on a commode thing, it was green and stunk like high heaven.

I know the Bristol Stool Chart by heart....

Would you like me to attach the paper on the Binding to Porphyrin in Haemoglobin? I was trying to make it pretty clear there was no way of knowing at this moment - way too many variables to consider.

this potentially explains why those on a ventilator don’t do as well as one would hope.

In Phil’s defence I have also heard some very specific info which is very different to this picture reported. No way to say which is accurate but o am sure we all hope he will be ok regardless of party politics. The irrefutable facts are- if he has been admitted to ITU appropriately - and I would hope he has as it isn’t a great place to be right now- the odds are 50:50.

Sounds more like a CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure - The same machine they give you for snoring but without the added oxygen. they are noisy machines at best.

Had one of those many years ago. Ghastly. Kept me awake more than the snoring (which, it turned out was rather less of a problem than the phone calls) :)

Even if you have had it, you can still infect others.
You can have it on your hands, clothing, possessions, bodily fluids etc despite any immunity you may have.
I believe we will have to live with it just like other illnesses until a vaccine comes along... and that may not give 100%
