The Retirement Thread

There are also stories that those of us of a certain age that had the BCG immunisation might have some slight immunity. Who knows, I'm sure several months down the line all the scientific and medical experts along with statisticians will work it all out.

Good news at last. Majestic wine has just delivered my wine order. 3 bottles of Malbec, 1Montepulciano and 2 Pinot Grigio. I feel a small tasting session coming on this evening.🍷🍷

I will be ok then
I had BCG as the main after cancer treatment. So far it seems to be working for that at any rate.

What a great day so far.

Awesome bass practice session.

Went to the cash and carry and got some stupendous bargains on bacon and fabric conditioned.

Found a bass headphone amp reduced from £124.99 to £9.99, so ordered mine right quick! I reckon it's a mistake and should be £99.99, but mine has been dispatched!

I think I ought buy a lottery ticket,

It’s strange. As much as I love drinking coffee, I don’t like coffee flavoured food or chocolates. It was a bugger when I used to eat Revels as I had to carefully bite them in half so I could avoid eating the coffee ones!

Was saying the same thing just yesterday. Its a really weird** virus in that (I assume) exactly the same thing can kill a strong healthy young man and yet a 94 or 104 year old survive it.
**I confess I know less than nothing about how a virus works.

The issue with this one is if it gets to the lungs. Apparently the effect on the lung tissue is quite devastating which is why some people end up being ventilated.

The difficulty then is being on a ventilator also damages the lungs. The treatment the patient requires exasperates the issue. For a fit person in their 30s this is a problem but recoverable, for someone in their 70s the impact is life threatening.

For Johnson, and all others, being on oxygen but breathing for oneself is important.
