[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2237590, member: 506169"] People seem to be concentrating of things like age and pre-existing medical conditions, but remember that the amount of exposure to the virus is a major factor. It is the high 'dosage' of virus that happens to medical staff which is the main cause of deaths and worse symptoms for them- since they are generally younger and have fewer medical conditions that for example the other average patients in Wuhan or in Northern Italy. This makes it all the more important that front-line NHS staff get the quality and quantity of PPE that they need and that they get tested as soon as they show any symptoms. My neighbour told us that his daughter has had Covid-19. Her partner works for NHS, got ill went home and phoned 111. He was told it was probably not Covid-19 and that he didn't qualify for a test and should go back to work. He went back to work and 3 days later had much worse symptoms and eventually a test confirming it was Covid-19. By which time he'd infected our neighbour's daughter and possibly several of his patients. [/QUOTE]
