Essentially if you don't let yourself relax when you're ill, the fever can fail to break, your immune system doesn't operate anywhere near full capacity, and that massively increases the risk of developing a secondary infection (like pneumonia). That's why they start to be concerned when people's temp is still up at 7 days. Ideally, if your immune system is doing its job, it should be down within 3 - 5 days.

Basically the stress and probably sleep deprivation that comes with being PM may well be part of what's stopped him from making a timely recovery.

That’s pure speculation, the truth is some get the virus worse than others.

Plus IF he had gone straight to bed to rest he would have been accused of passing the buck for others to sort out, I for one hope he recovers quickly and gets back onto this.:wavey:

I said "potentially" because yes it's speculation, a possible reason, not a definite reason. That's what "potentially" means :idc:.

However, no, it isn't "pure" speculation - not getting enough rest makes it harder to recover from illness, that is 100% medical fact. The part that's speculation is assuming he hasn't been resting properly, maybe he has been getting plenty of sleep and isn't stressed at all... I just think that seems unlikely. I'm not blaming him either, he's not in a position where he can just stop stressing and relax unfortunately.

Its still worth saying for other people though. Like BOTS said, some people have a "stiff upper lip, just push through it" approach to illness and it's worth pointing out that it can hinder recovery.

I literally don't care what you do sheriff, I just hope other people understand that sleep and rest is important if they get a fever. I mean I feel like most people already know that but you do you, just please don't advise other people that "rest doesn't help" ffs.

I don’t go around offering people medical advice or speculate to why people may have a more severe reaction to Covid 19.

I don't go around calling people "parasites" and telling them to "go and swallow more spunk" so I guess we'll just have to accept our differences and move on.

I don't care who you said it to, the fact that you said it at all tells me everything I need to know about you. I don't like that the mods brushed it under the carpet and are insisting that everyone simply forget about it but that's their business - I'm not going to.

Your mod powers will reveal all the deleted posts.

Oh just had a read through, that was a pretty nasty argument all round tbf, I get why it was all just deleted because there were a lot of insults coming from all sides but also why that one comment stood out too. I will ask for there to be a review of it though
