bald and bankrupt got covid

a British guy who makes films about countries he visits got covid19 just watched video about his experience he endured, made me change my attitude on the illness watching it, check out some of his older videos they are very interesting in my opinion,hope putting this on here helps if anyone thinks there invincible

 

My girlfriend's uncle (in his mid 60's) had it back in April/May. He was very touch and go for a little while, but eventually pulled through. He suffers from respiratory problems which made him more susceptible to it, but he's otherwise healthy and active, and was very much on the brink. That made me take it very seriously.

 

He does some good videos on his channel, what Iv gathered from watching them is the majority of these russian/ former Soviet territories he visits, vodka is pretty much drank like water over there! Surprised that wasn't used as treatment!

 

Nobody should think they are invincible. However as this expert writes the cure is worse than the disease.

There’s a difference between ‘Could’ and ‘Would’.

So in a nutshell he doesn’t know.

 

Should be on TV, go viral, shown in schools. whatever.

The only person I know tested positive for the Covid that was hospitalised. Is still not fully recovered. Working but phased in the sense of just doing half days. Or not going in to work if not up to it, Diagnosed back in March.

As the person says in the video. Don’t be a dick. Wear a mask it’s not much to ask. ( he openly admits he was one of those dicks)

 

I've just tested negative for the disease and had a week off work because of protocol. Both times I've been tested had all the symptoms. I think what is forgotten in spite of Covid the common cold is just as rife.

What worries me is due to Covid phoning in sick will become a regular thing. How long will HR teams be lenient?

 

I don't read the hate mail and wouldn't trust a word.

 

he’s basically saying he has no idea.

 

Does it matter?

 

It matters to Bradford factor and the dole queue.

 

Excuse my ignorance, but what's 'Bradford factor' (if it's a typo I'm not being facetious).

My point is it's a government mandated requirement to self-isolate under certain circumstances. HR don't really have a great deal of say in it.

 

It's a points system to calculate your absence and start the disciplinary procedure. I'm slightly worried because I've been off now twice in six months following procedure and tested negative both times.

I'm conscious that doesn't look good.

 

3 strikes and yer out roughly.

 

Fair enough. I'm not trying to be a prat.

Edit added:

Google is my friend.

Having now read about it, doesn't it just provide a tool to help managers investigate absenteeism? A high score can be explained by 2 or 3 self-isolation bouts or major heart surgery for example.

My Bradford Factor score is 384.

 

Apparently, Wetherspoons has 66 (known) positive cases among its 41000 staff. This (153/100000) is 7-8x the rate (20/100000) at which the UK government applies mandatory quarantine on returning to the UK.

But pubs are safe according to expert epidemiologist Tim Martin, who incidentally happens to be the boss of Wetherspoons.

 

Mr Martin will no doubt say theres more infections in his driptrays.

 

Now isn't the time for a rule of six and talk of other restictions like a curfew is it with stats like this?
