Haha, noticed this but couldn't be bothered being a pedant at the time. 0.6% or 0.006, but not combined. It would suggest 1 in 10 get long covid or whatever it is called. Link to comment

Guest the shepherd Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 1 hour ago, DD1903 said: If underlying health conditions refer to conditions that haven't been diagnosed, then how can those with serious underlying conditions that they don't know they have be advised as per below!? Lolz https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51997151 When lockdown began, certain people were advised to take extra steps - or shield - to avoid contracting Covid-19, because they were considered more at risk of needing hospital treatment. Shielding has now been paused everywhere in the UK, except in some parts of England where infection rates remain higher. Why is shielding ending? Infection levels in the community are generally now much lower than they were a few months ago, so the risk of exposure is significantly less than it has been. People will no longer have to "stay at home" and follow shielding guidelines , although they are advised to take particular care when outside, and maintain strict social distancing. Do I have to stop shielding? For some people this will be welcome news, while others will be understandably anxious. Shielding was never compulsory and it is still your choice to decide what you are comfortable about doing - you may still want to spend a lot of time at home, for example. If possible, take things at your own pace and talk through any worries you have. The relaxation of the rules allows those who have been shielding to see more people, enjoy the summer and be more active. Experts strongly advise people with serious underlying health conditions to follow social distancing recommendations - keep 2m away from other people outside your home and, whenever possible, limit the number of people you meet, shops you visit, and non-essential journeys. A good mate of mine, who does not like going to the doctor's (phobia, dislike, etc.) became seriously ill in early July. At the time of becoming unwell he was admitted to ARI with an unknown, underlying condition. It was apparent he was in a very bad way but couldn't be sure what it was with at that point in time. However, upon receiving thorough medical examinations from specialist doctors, it was identified that he had, therefore ultimately diagnosed with COPD, heart fibrillation and a serious sleep disorder. He now no longer had an underlying condition as his illness was now identified and diagnosed. My point being that if a condition that you may or may not have is not investigated by a GP or specialist doctor. then thereafter identified and diagnosed, it will be classed as underlying until it is detected and appropriate treatment administered forthwith. If it wasn't for my pal's missus's intervention, coupled with his aversion of getting medical help, the chances are he wouldn't be here today and the cause of death may have wrongly defined as Coronavirus related.
