We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

The real death toll is probably four times higher than the official death toll.

Per welcome back - how are you and your wife feeling now?

China and Russia along with others will not show their true numbers while some countries like Canada inflates their numbers.

Death stats are a horible tracker for the virus because they are so heavily skewed to a specific demographic. The only numbers I have much faith in are hospitalization and ICU rates.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Slow but steady progress for me. I can walk now, but a 10 metre walk feels like a 10 km run and I’m exhausted after a 10 minute phone call. But every day is a little bit better than the previous one.

Wife still in an induced coma. They had planned a tracheotomy for yesterday, but her oxygen levels were a bit off, so they postponed it and will try again on Sunday.

Brief update.

My rehab is coming along fine. Legs and balance are good. Fine motor skills pretty decent. Hand strength... hm... not that great. But i have shit for lungs though. Lung capacity is just 1.5 litres, and for a man of my age and height it should be between 3 and 4.
I have less than half of that..... Good news is that most people recover fully, it just takes time.

But more importantly. Some terrible news.

My life partner, my wife for the past 31 years, did not make it.
After 29 days in an induced coma at the ICU, the doctors had tried everything, but could not stop or reverse the process of her own body attacking the alveoli of her lungs and turning them into scar tissue. And they deemed her too frail for a lung transplant, even if they could find a donour, which is hard.

I held her hand as they turned off the ventilator.

I’m devastated.

Don’t expect to see a lot of me in the near future.
