He explained better than I can but basically if you lose 2kg of muscle mass each DAY for 14 to 21 days or more .. you will be a terrible state for a very long time .

We’re talking about losing 2kg or 4lb of muscle every day !!

I didn’t even know we had that much muscle mass

That is a very real possibility in the coming weeks .. sadly .


Still won’t change this dreadful situation we find ourselves in though ..

Honestly if I was as terrified as you are, I would turn off Sky news, what’s the point in ramping up your anxiety, you know what to do to keep you and your family safe...turn it off

I don’t have it on much at all .. but we watch it occasionally throughout the day .. That said it’s all over the radio as well .. even TalkSport.

You can’t hide away and not watch telly or listen to the radio ..

I don't watch the news anymore.
I only watch the briefings to keep up to date.
I'm going to wear my mask and keep living my life.
Nothing will stop me.

i dont watch covid news anymore, there is no need. We all know what we need to do

Tomorrow Monday
a New Number is to be published
the amount that have had the Vaccine

It is to be every day.

From what I've seen, the vaccination programme is going great.
We will definitely meet the target required.

Does anyone recall what the % of Covid patients who need hospital care actually go onto need intensive care ??

Really feels like [FINALLY] that we're going for it now. Hopefully. The news is terrifying me but this is the glimmer of hope.

All of the staff who work at Great Aunt's care home got their first jabs today, getting their second in March. When the actual residents will get vaccinated idk but it's a step in the right direction at least.

Yes some good news there

We need a new bulb for the end of this tunnel.

I'm standing at the end with me torch what more do you want :fist:

Again Zizu you literallly can't lose 2kg of muscle a day for 21 days. You do not have 42kg of muscle (unless you're a bodybuilder or a pro wrestler or something... MAYBE a 6'2 Rugby player).

I think 2kg is the absolute peak of muscle loss, and again it applies to anyone in a medical coma / on ventilator, it's not a Covid thing.

With a lot of muscle loss yes it could take months to rebuild that muscle afterwards... muscle deteriorates a LOT faster than it builds. The "years" claim is likely because a lot of the people affected will be older/frail already and thus not able to engage in more intensive physiotherapy. It should really be 6 months max for a younger adult.

Boots the Chemist will offer vaccination

are they going to charge an obscene amount for doing it like they do with the test?
