When was the last time the flu killed a prime minister?


How often do they visit flu ridden hospitals and shake hands with the patients?

Well for one people are posting old photos of him

He lost weight two years ago and that is where those photos are from( he was still overweight just now longer obese)

He gained it back unfortunately his goal for 2020 was to lose it again

I am still wondering why that poster felt the need to retort to your post about a guy open about his struggle with obesity with an OMB post. He may short circuit if I ask him directly for the relevance.

(Nice, six Trumpkin downvotes but it is 100% true, kiddos). The pills are mostly a prophylactic and only potentially effective at early stages. Or, quite frankly, just a placebo for people who would just experience mild symptoms without further complications.

There isn't even anecdotal evidence the pills helping those who are already in respiratory failure.


because the Trumpkins know its still got a 97% survival rate.
But by all means, keep reading only the obits.

Doesn't just going home and maybe taking some Tylenol have a 97% survival rate before critical symptoms develop?

Maybe Tylenol is the game changer.

There is not much mystery to this virus anymore

If you are healthy you will likely be fine with very mild illness

If you are unhealthy or obese you have a fight on your hands

43 and counting, but keep believing it’s “Trumpkins” and not the fact everyone just thinks you’re a shitty poster

That makes the comment relevant in response to a thread and post specifically about Boris Johnson?

I think viral load is also important. My friend is 32 and a former varsity athlete. Still in great shape. He is a doctor and had very bad symptoms. Said it was the worst he has ever felt for 48 hours. But after six days he is now getting back to normal.

Everyone else I know who got tested had light symptoms to a generic flu, at worst.

Boris knew there would be casualties for the herd-immunity strategy to work. He just didn't think it would be him. No one ever does.

so you admit that people without further complications only experience mild symptoms.... sounds similar to influenza and pneumonia.

4 confirmed positives and 1 that wasn’t tested but had symptoms and likely gave it to his wife who tested positive and hadn’t been out in public at all before her symptoms.

So I’ll say 5 total. 3 very mild cases, 1 generic flu, and 1 very bad flu that required no hospitalization (the doctor).

All under 40, all generally healthy, 1 smoker who didn’t have a bad case.

I also know of a colleague who has a 16 year old son with a 104 degree fever that was brought down in the 100 range with Tylenol. He’s still waiting on his test results.

The cases are in NYC, New Orleans and Texas
