Thought I’d post one covid related thread, wondering how many people on this thread have not caught covid.

Despite being in close proximity to people who were positive at the time, I've never had it as far as I know.

My daughter tested positive just before last weekend, I went over, into the house with her, no mask, took my grandson to the birthday party she couldn't take him too, then backed up next day by picking him up and taking him for the day to give her a break.

I've never had Flu either.

Compromised immune system here.

No COVID yet for myself, wife or almost two year old boy.

Quintuple vaxxed.

I'm impressed. One for the girls.

 

[Fat Jesus]

It defies logic. She weighs around 45kg.

Wife also has compromised immune system - quintuple vaxed plus some other jab - she got it recently - in chest - had one dose of anti virals - I had a very mild dose earlier this year - nothing this time so far -hard for vaccines to keep up with sub-variants

My sister has been very sick with it - and had a bad reaction to the anti-virals. Can’t win!

When she went into hospital a couple of weeks ago (she’s out now) the first doctor to see her told her to ‘get your will in order’.

Not a great bedside manner.

Terrible bedside manner - Specialist told my wife words to the effect - "if you get Covid you're in strife" - FMD

This may sound callous, but what’s wrong with that? I can only assume she’s in an at-risk category…

It would be nothing at all for a doctor where I work to say to a diabetic patient; “we have to do everything we can to keep your wound clean, because if you get a post-op infection, you’re in strife”.

Or to anyone with co-morbidities who has been confined to bed for a few days after a surgery; “we’ve got to get you up out of bed and moving, because if you develop a chest infection or develop a DVT, you could be in strife”.

It’s not a nasty thing to say, the doctor is just using lay terminology to convey the seriousness of the situation. It would be worse if the doctor glossed over the risks and you couldn’t provide informed consent to treatment.

She is at risk - compromised immune system - she's now recovering no medical treatment or hospitalisation required apart from one course of anti- virals - so apart from the sore throat and chest congestion can't see where the "in strife" fits.

PS - we're a bit wary about the medical profession - been on the end of more than one misdiagnosis

I’m genuinely really glad to hear your wife is recovering well.

I think your doctor’s comment should be taken in the spirit it was intended, and as an assessment of risk, rather than a prediction on how a person will respond after their first time contracting a disease which didn’t exist three years ago.

He was probably gravely concerned for her outlook, given her immune status. Not an unreasonable position to take in my view.

Rick Stein - SBS Food last night - final episode on Cornwall. Segment on Cornish pasties.... quite a thing as to what the genuine pastie contains - apparently peas and carrots are verboten!

Just looked up a recipe - one ingredient was "rutabaga" - yes that's how it's spelt. The pronunciation would be interesting in Cornwall .

Anyone know where to purchase a decent pastie? Not stocked at Purple Fig.

Used to enjoy a pastie in the day - could have been a healthy substitute to jam donuts..

My MIL is English and makes Cornish pasties that are magnificent.

Sorry, she doesn't sell them.

pineapple inclusion goes alright as well with the peas Ive heard.

Sweet and sour pasty filled with PINEAPPLE is crowned best in the world

A PASTY filled with pineapple has seen off local competition to be crowned winner of the World Pasty Championships in Cornwall. The controversial champion — made by a baker in the US — is described…

So pineapple makes a comeback to this thread inside a Cornish pastie - should keep us going until Round 1

You've just posted one of the most epic trolls this thread has experienced, and we've had some rippers.

Kudos, good sir.

Esavoury Rutabaga? Plays ruck/forward I think

I occasionally buy one from 7/11 but I suspect that's not what you are after.
