What did stand out is that in the story (if you are bothered to read it) is this ...."He had a chronic lung disease". He was already in poor health prior to infection. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as a friend of mine in China who had chronic asthma and ran a smoke filled bar. Killed him in the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all trivial when you are under lock down in Phuket and there is a possibility that this may be extended if further cases are confirmed here. Khao Lak is on the mainland 80 kms from Phuket. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey ... no house arrest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on Phuket before being diagnosed, same as some others who were diagnosed at the airport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrDave Posted May 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2020 9 hours ago, stevenl said: Strange post. Not really strange IMHO. I read ian007's post as a sarcastic reference to the fact that many deaths are being attributed to COVID-19 that would have previously been attributed to a patient's pre-existing condition. I believe that many deaths are being reported as COVID-19 deaths when in reality, the COD is actually a patient's pre-existing (and in some cases terminal) condition, for which COVID-19 may or may not have been a contributing factor. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
