Quote: Jukesays "Although my personal experience is fine, I do know 5 people who have died from it.
My cousins husband was the first paramedic in the country tonite from it, no underlying conditions, fit as a proverbial butchers dog, 48 years young. ZZB said it was anecdotal evidence back then and he should have just wanted to live more iirc.
I know another lad who was 50 again no underlying conditions, and the rest were between 65 and 75.'"
So sorry you've been touched so closely by it; its absolutely hideous. My family are still very blessed to have none of us knowingly get it, not even extended family. We are very fortunate indeed.
