Are those second and third thoughts necessary because you've forgotten the first one? I'm certain I had something more to say but ... I've forgotten.

There's times when I wish that there was the option to add two emoticons to someone's post. I so wanted to use Like (for the fact  that Albert's managed to sort home delivery) and Sad (for the second part of the post).

I know what you mean Marty 

[Albert1434]

And if I may I am going to try very hard to not be one of those

Wow... we just had some severe thunderstorms pass through.   Thankfully they didn't last long, but now my yard is flooded.

Just try to stay safe, Albert.  

And remember that in the vast majority of cases the symptoms are not all that serious.  

Positivity! That's what's needed in these uncertain times.

I have COPD and Emphysema so I doubt that would be the case

That certainly increases the risk should you become exposed, but it doesn't necessarily mean you would die from it.

But, knowing that risk, do everything you can to avoid becoming infected.

And, who knows, you might even be immune to it.

[Albert1434]

I am not going to try out that idea I have very bad luck

[Albert1434]

And you need to be careful Marty you have diabetes

[Albert1434]

I know, but thanks for reminding me.

Type 2 - not the more dangerous Type 1.

I had blood samples taken about 5 weeks ago. My GP was totally happy with the results. Blood sugar levels and cholesterol (both good and bad versions) are exactly where they should be. Liver and kidney functions perfect. He said that I am managing the diabetes that well that he wouldn't even know I am diabetic from those results (as he says after every six monthly blood test). I am currently on minimal medication.

I'm assuming by that you mean that you are "thinking positively" about being careful...

[Albert1434]

Or something like that

I suspect that (in the case of Type 2, at least) the main reason it's a factor is because it's a lifestyle disease. Caused in a large part by lack of exercise, obesity, and eating all the wrong foods.

When I was diagnosed 8 years ago, I made a conscious decision to turn my life around. I started eating much more sensibly, exercising, and lost about 3 stones in weight.

I bumped into the GP who had diagnosed me about a year later (she had retired in the interim) and she said that she couldn't believe how well I was looking, and that I looked years younger. I told her that it was all her fault for frightening me with the diabetes diagnosis, to which she told me that I was a very strange man indeed. When I asked what she meant by that she told me that normally her male patients never listened to a word she said!

Some of that could be because diabetes can lead to kidney disease which is also a factor. The virus causes inflammation that can stress damaged kidneys to the point of failure.
