Can anybody see a good outcome?
As a 72yr old with diabetes I'm struggling to identify one!

As another 72 year old who has consumed a bottle of Champagne and watched Manchester United win 5-0, I am feeling on top of the world. Life is wonderful.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman.

I think you’ve just got to be very careful with your movements and hygiene Ronk, they don’t know the virus 100% but from what is known it’s likely you would be ok after a week or so unless you have quite severe respiratory problems at your age. I’ve not read or heard anything that diabetes has any bearing on it. This thing is here to stay but hopefully there will be a vaccine by this time next year and dealt with like the flu.

Diabetes has been mentioned - but I agree, hygiene is a fundamental and avoid public transport.
Oh and some of that Scottish wine will help!

The first question to be asked after the press conference today was mind bogglingly stupid from Laura Kussenberg, essentially...”What if you get it it wrong”? What if they do..?? I don’t see a crystal ball telling them the future..! To my mind it was a very level headed, very well thought out response form Boris and the scientists, of course the idiot press will no doubt slate it for the money but that’s to be expected of course, even in this pandemic the scum want to spread stupidity.

I'm 72 also, pretty much fit and healthy so I'm expecting it to be much like a dose of normal flu if I'm unlucky enough to cop it. I hadn't heard of any complications due to diabetes.

From Diabetes UK:-
Specific advice on coronavirus for people living with diabetes
Coronaviruses can cause more severe symptoms and complications in people with diabetes, as well as in older people, and those with other long term conditions such as cancer or chronic lung disease.

It many ways all of this is quite surreal as we have pretty much lived in a society all our lives feeling safe from viuses and the like. I can get now how frightened people who were about 100s of years ago must have felt with the likes if the plague, black death etc where they had nothing compared to today, no help, no advice etc. Although we live in a modern society it shows how fragile we are and how quickly things can go downhill. I'm amazed something like hasn't happened sooner to be honest as I think we have become too complacent.
The positive is if you do get the virus is not an automatic death sentence but worrying all the same for certain people.
