oh my god people you HAVE to stop using words like fighter and battle when you talk about ill health

It is BULLSHIT

and, look, obviously, you could rest for ten days and still end up in the ICU but the PM worked for ten days WITH A FEVER. That's not good for you! If you have a fever, you take to your bed. It's boring but you aren't "doing nothing" - you are getting better!

It is very much a personal trigger for me but people not stopping, resting, looking after themselves when they get ill makes me so mad, I just want to shake people. Being ill is not a moral failing!

I think there was this dumb macho what-a-guy thing about the PM "fighting" on and now he's in the damn ICU and, yes, it could have happened anyway, but COME ON if you have a fever GO TO BED I'm sure the man gets sick pay

I'm so annoyed and I'm wearing too many layers

HOW CAN YOU BE PRIME MINISTER WITH A FEVER

the only person allowed to work with a fever is Peggy Lee
