Tbh I think he's suffering from clinical depression, telling him that would definitely not be helpful.

Thank you for your service.

some of this might be down to getting hit twice by a bus, did she even mention that to her doctor?

I've an English friend. Whenever his wife rings and him in the pub he goes, " Oh no. The war department is on the line".

Yaaaaaawn

I zoned out, what does this one that keeps getting knocked down do?

Is there really any need for these callers to go into every tiny detail?

I think she's underestimating what getting hit by a bus might be like.

When I got a dose of something last summer (never tested, so don't know if it was da covid or not), I woke up feeling like some blaggard had broke in during the night and been kicking me in my bed for hours.
Total crap, so it was. However, that was the worst bit, the other symptoms didn't really appear apart from fleeting moments of breathlessness and lost taste and smell for a few hours.
There has been a longer term effect though; for months I felt rotten and lacked energy to do anything. Basically, nothing got done in the house or workshop for nearly the past year.
It wasn't until October or so that I felt as if I was gradually getting out of it.

How many members of the FaceBuke Group are there? We'll hear from 90% of them.

I can see Long Covid replacing back pain as the most common excuse for taking sick leave in the future!

Glad you are feeling better. But lots of illnesses can take a long time to get over. One of my smallies caught pneumonia and wasn't back to the full energetic self for at least 6 months, it absolutely knocked the stuffing out of them. I just wonder is this the same kind of post viral recovery.

Was that a clown serenade?

he let someone go in the blink of an eye who sounded pretty interesting.
And even didn't pick up on the fact she's nearly 102 and not a vaccine near her yet till i suppose a researcher waved at him furiously.
These low hanging callers are bread and butter to him.

Sensimellia

If they have breathing difficulties, put them straight through

bigroad

It would be interesting if any of these people are smokers or not.
But he won't ask that question.

TheHomeService

This is the first Long Covid sufferer who sounds breathless.

NIMAN

the woman of 102 with no vaccine should be a MAJOR story and all over the news.

But not on the LL.

To be fair to this man, prayers didn't help him, the medical staff and the medicines did.

Even Joe corrected him on that, surprisingly.

He has already answered the question about the end of life request, but Joe asks it again.

Atlantic Dawn

Surely he was under no condition to make end of life decisions in the state he was in? Next of kin should have been making the decisions.

Roger_007

I must have had Covid when I’m still listening to this rubbish.........I’ve lost my sense of taste!
