People are really starting to fuck me off. The amount of people I’ve seen on Instagram visiting friends, sitting in parks like nothing is happening or queuing for a fucking KFC is taking the absolute piss. This is my husband. He has #CysticFibrosis. His lung collapsed /1 *thread
In 2013 and ever since he’s been under transplant assessment. After a long battle he was finally accepted by @RBandH hospital for a double lung transplant. However, due to the risk of Covid-19 he is currently suspended from the list until it is safe to be able to receive one. /2
His lung function is currently 24%, and his right lung is non functional. He was given the opportunity to start a new wonderdrug but needs to be admitted for 48-72 hours for monitoring. He can’t do this whilst there’s Covid-19 patients on the ward. We haven’t left the house /3
10th March, which was before the official UK lockdown. Yet somehow he has still caught a bug and is now spending his time at home on oral antibiotics and on oxygen 24/7. Chances are, he won’t be going to any social events until there’s a cure for Covid-19 or until it’s /4
Completely non-existent. But all those selfish pricks going out & abusing the lockdown rules, having fucking BBQs or parties are putting people with serious illnesses at risk. My husband can’t get the lungs he needs or start the medicine until it’s safe to be in a hospital. /5
So please, can you not be a douche by going to see your friends or getting a bucket of fried chicken. But instead please just stay the fuck home. /6
*Disclaimer - this photo was when he was in hospital with an infection. He’s currently at home, albeit on oxygen but this is him needing oxygen and IVs in hospital with an infection. A more serious virus like Covid would be fatal, and would be much more extreme than this photo.
