[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2233228, member: 460354"] We have our 3rd case (diagnosed) here in Blackpool. The lady has shared her experience on a Facebook page set up for Blackpool residents who want to share info on Covid-19, want to help where they can, support each other etc so I thought I would share for info on this thread, it was made public by the lady herself: HER WORDS NOT MINE My Story...Over the past few weeks there have been so many conflicting stories with regards to Coronavirus. I like half the planet wouldn’t have known I’d come into contact with it. I had tried my best to self isolate away from coughs and colds. The golden rule about keeping your hands clean and self isolating is the key no matter how much it disrupts your life. I have asthma and relatively minor lung problems so tried my best to protect myself. A few nights ago from nowhere I stayed with a cough, not just a cough here and there I mean non stop! And no matter which inhaler I used I simply couldn’t breathe. I tried my best to be a trooper but in the end it had to be 999. Let me make a point of saying DO NOT ring that number unless you feel your life is under threat! It revealed I was infected but also that I had double pneumonia which is why I was so poorly. Yes it was scary being blue lighted in an ambulance and staying in resus for hours but after intensive treatment and care to treat the pneumonia (NOT for the Covid 19 because there isn’t one) I was allowed home masked up but into self isolation for 14 days. Mostly my choice because I felt guilty taking up a room and resources I no longer needed when I could see the hospital was filling up and even at this very early stage! I can not specify enough that I had underlying health conditions and that’s the ONLY reason I’d have gone anywhere near a hospital or was tested. The NHS simply can’t test everyone and won’t. Look after each other, take it seriously but use common sense and KEEP WASHING YOUR HANDS! I’m surely going to be going through some box sets in the coming weeks but I’m so glad to be home. [/QUOTE]
