It was "only flu", but it took her legs away. How awful for the poor girl.

I doubt anyone has a cavalier attitude to someone that is ill. But I've lost count of the number of people that maintain they are very ill, but spend most of the day and night telling people they are ill, especially with covid or the likes of on social media. If I felt that ill, I would just want to sleep 24/7. The only time I may make the effort to post, would be to find out something I was worried about. Other than that Zzzzzzzzz
Trivialising/ cavalier attitude?
OK those of us who fit into that group what exactly are we supposed to do or not do then? I really don't know what to do in my daily life to stop my behaviours being labelled as above, or even worse sickening?
If I have a cold I don't go sneezing on everybody. I wouldn't visit elderly relatives. If I caught flu should I just assume I'm going to die, or at least lose my legs? I really don't know what some of you want.

My youngest daughter went to her GP yesterday morning because she felt really lousy, aching, hot and cold, generally ill.
She rang me in floods of tears because her GP had told her to attend A & E immediately, with suspected Sepsis, and not to drive, but have someone to take her.
My youngest is prone to worrying, and already feeling really ill, she was terrified she would die.
She has two children, the oldest off from school with a nasty cold, and the other, who is autistic, due home from school later, meaning her partner could not take her to A & E in case they were delayed.
Sod's Law, my car was in for service, and my wife was out and not contactable, so I had to cab over and taker her to A & E in her car.
All praise to the NHS, she was triaged, Covid tested, seen by a doctor, and out in twenty minutes, advised that she as serious flu, but not Sepsis, and to go home and go to bed for about five days.
I appreciate that GP's have to cover themselves, and the symptoms of flu are the early symptoms of Sepsis, but it was a nasty shock, and good to be dealt with so quickly and efficiently.
As far as the OP goes, I see no link between a rare case of life-changing Sepsis, and a national pandemic like Covid, or perceived different attitudes to both.

No one knows your body better than you yourself.
Theres has always been a slight stigma attached to anyone taking to there bed when not feeling to great, but if you body is telling you to do that, then no one else should have a opinion. Obviously at some time, if after bed rest, and off the shelf medication you don't feel any improvement, then a doctors opinion is needed.
Younger children and teenagers who may have not experienced any form, or very little illness, are likely to reach out for a doctor straight away. The latter is more understandable after the last 3 years.

I directed my comment towards one user on this thread, Prudie, and it wasn't to you. You should consider that perhaps we have a deeper understanding of the situation between Youngmafbog and Gness. It can be seen on other threads. We'd like the friction to ease.

And perhaps you would like to enlighten me because I dont have a problem with Gness. The only thing I can think of that come close is that I do object to people signing petitions for countries they dont live in but that is not just Gness. And I dont see why I shouldn't point this out.
Or does it only go one way?
