Sad news and yet another stark reminder that this thing does compromise, nor does it discriminate. RIP

Of the 60,000+ cases here in Spain 10,000 are medical staff. When that level of staff absence hits everything goes downhill. Protect the important care givers first!

Christ almighty.
People will still think they're doing a great job, though.

Latest, brief update on my mate Rick - and still a very tough situation...
*****************************************************************************************************
He's moved to Manchester Royal Infirmary ICU now, today is day 5 on ventilator. He is stable with his other organs, but still not able to breathe for himself. They tried to reduce sedation down and take him off the paralysis medication but it didn't work and his sats dropped so he's now back on it since last night and they will try again tomorrow.

Thanks, guys. I'm dreaming of the time when I can catch up with him again on court, and let him know in between games how much a group of County fans were rooting for him - a Hull City lad. He would really appreciate that.

In other news...
With Maccy's kind permission, I've altered the title of this thread to 'CV Confessional', just to ease the tension a little on the wider forum.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've ended up blocking many of the sensationalist 'news' sources in a bid to remain as upbeat as I can during this crisis. Seeing that 'C' word on almost every page while browsing the forum seemed like a dark cloud for me, so I suggested the change to Maccy in order to try to lighten the atmosphere on the forum as a whole.
Please don't think for one minute that I'm taking this issue lightly or that I'm in any way trying to dismiss it, because that is absolutely not the case. I just think that, while CH should offer a place for everyone to share their experiences during this crisis, it should also offer them an escape if they need one.
I hope I've made sense and hope that everyone understands. Cheers!

It made eminent good sense to me, Sir! Just as long as no-one now starts filling the thread with fibs they might have told in the past when applying for jobs...
