This case is enlightening most of what I’ve read says you generally don’t get stuffy or runny nose. Mainly dry cough and high fever. This guy says, cold then flu then pneumonia
Heather hope ur right
@Pluscelamemechose Yeah, I think thats when its the kidneys fail, the other is drowning with no lung capacity…Horrible.
@Transpecies Grolar Bear greatest fear.
In the fall my girlfriend had pneumonia bronchitis and the swollen lungs.
.. this happened in October 2019 we are 28 the nurses said her lungs looked like she had been smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day. I then got sick with the same illness I truly believe this virus has been around for awhile now.
He’s a doctor?
Finally someone that explains the symptoms of the virus
Well “his” symptoms and many people have done the same.
A G Can you please supply a link?!

Desiree Bernert don’t wash your hands that often, you’re making yourself more vulnerable.
‘I’ve never cooked decent meals’. Yup, he’s a Brit alright.
@Lindsay Ruthven May be hygienic food but your mouths certainly aren’t hygienic. It’s a stereotype for a reason a lot of you really do have trash teeth.
Triggered Brits with false pride over nasty food and bad teeth in this comment section, you’ve been warned.
Because British dont cook, they eat bricks, thats why they have bad teeth.
I have a drummer friend who toured Europe for several years. Along the way he stopped through England. He told me that British food is the absolute worst of the worst. He said the food was really bland and the BRITs don’t use spices on anything. Told me that he actually lost weight in England because he just didn’t want to eat anything there.
throw away what you on about my teeth 🦷 are lovely I paid £3,500 for my dental care my teeth are white and straight I honestly don’t know where your getting this from send me a pic of your teeth and we can compare I’ve lived in a America and all I saw when I was their was obese problems, junkies ppl in general with a lack of hygiene and some black guy in newyork sitting on the floor of the train with no teeth rocking back and forth your mental health problems in a America is cause for concern and very frightening .
5:27 What a stupid damn question to ask this man — as if he would know — whether levels of isolation that he is seeing in China will be necessary in the UK?
Xi Waan it was a poor metaphor
@Dc watcher It’s a figure of speech, when someone says ‘they are reading from a script’ it doesn’t mean they literally have a script in front of them, it just means it is scripted, pre-planned. That is common usage of the phrase. The fact that some people here are having such difficulty understanding the most basic of things really does speak loudly about the audience of Channel 4 news.
yeah that was real fkn stupid, goin mental? hes already crossed that bridge!!!
The UK is going to screw this up far worse than China has. They are off to a terrible start already and had over a month to prepare.
Trust me IN NEWS SOME NEWS FROM THIER OWN BOSS OR OTHER CLIENTS TELL THEM TO DO THE TALK BUT NOT ASKING WHAT IS THE REASON AND HOW DID IT AFFECT UR SYSTEM… IS IT IN THE LUNGS STOMACH OR OTHER BODY FLUIDS… MANY PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS. BUT THE REAL TRUTH JS THEY DONT WANT PEOPLE TO GO CRISIS IN CHAOS FOR EXAMPLE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE WITH NO BALANCED OF LIFE AND DEATH (FOR EXAMPLE YIN AND YANG) PEACE AND CHAOS
😏HOWEVER HERES A HINT THE VICTIM OF THIS PERSON IN THE VIDEO SAID I DIDN’T COOK CERTAIN FOOD PROPERLY. THATS WHY? IT HAS TO DO OF WHAT YOU’VE EATEN THAT MIGHT AFFECT UR STOMACH.
The Coronavirus was the caused of RNA….
RNA MEANS from a DNA that controls the synthesis of proteins which was RIBOSOMES.
Ribosome has an RNA TO TRANSFER IT TO (“SYNTHESIZE KNOWN AS SYNTHESIS) THE PROTIENS.
LOOK UP IN GOOGLE AND PUT THIS WORD (“PROTEINS SYNTHESIS MEANS EXAMPLE”) WARNING THE TRUTH HURTS: THE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS HAS DO WITH (Protiens through ribosomal ( ribosomes “RNA” TO TRANSFER THE RNA TO THE MESSENGER CALLED ENZYMES MEANS THAT THAT U HAVE TO DISGUST.
DONT EAT ALOT OF FOOD BECAUSE IF U DO MORE PRACTICAL OF THE FOOD OF CALLED THE RIBOSOMES WONT LET OVER SIZE FOOD GO THROUGH TO DIGUST, ONLY SMALL PARTICLES.
AND SOME CERTAIN TYPE OF FOOD WASN’T CLEANED PROPERLY BECAUSE YOUR SUPPOSE TO WASH THE BLOOD AND OTHER THINGS OUT OF THE FOOD IN ORDER TO TASTE GOOD WHILE YOUR COOKING, IF NOT THATS WHY IT HAPPENS WITH FULL OF BACTERIA AND OTHER BLOOD TYPE CHEMICALS.
I am more scared of pneumonia itself than of death.
I had a bad one 20 yrs ago, worst nightmare ever
@Maggie J. wow the pneumonia is like it never completely healed for you.
I had pneumonia few months ago but I recovered in 36 hrs
@Marco_Slug ShotGun it never works
@Karl Hans …a client coughed accidentiaĺly into my face, not really bad…. just shortly after I went downhill…a local doc misdiagnosed and downplayed it to a ordinary cold. 2 or 3 days later paramedics had to carry me out, I couldnt stand or even walk any more.
My compliment for your positive thinking and ways to cope with in lockdown condition and good luck Connor.
There’s a lesson to be learned here – “stay at home for the sake of everybody else”
Relax, trump announced a plan yesterday that will address hourly worker compensation
I’m quitting my job
Go over mathematics from years before (vector calculus).
Regular people with a flu: Alright I’m stay home 🤒
People with Coronavirus: I’m travel the world 🌎
Bring out your dead.
After listening to this young man’s interview, shall we still believe that Covid-19 is another type of flu which only affects the elder people with precondition diseases?
V Arias Our Emperor Deliver Us
@Shaunna Richards it’s called cytokine storm.
V Arias – thinking we are experts without proper education on matters such as science is how people end up believing in flat-Earth and anti-vax. Self-educating is useful for many things but for matters such as health and science, trust the experts!
Zhigang Mei who is saying that corona virus only effects older people? No one even says that about the flu. Science and real statistics however show that the overwhelming majority of people who DIE from both virus are the elderly and immunocompromised people. The average person who contracts either the flu or the corona virus will survive.
Zhigang Mei it can still mutate
Remember panicking in the middle of a crisis makes the crisis worse. If we’re constantly being told not to panic it’s not because nothings wrong. Something is clearly very wrong.
@fuzzzymaine2 Actually is psychology….
I don’t think anyone is saying nothing is wrong but I think it’s more of a preventative measure before people really start to panic (which is definitely when things start to go “very wrong”). Telling people not to panic doesn’t not automatically equal that something is very wrong (could be…but we just don’t have enough info to clearly come to that conclusion ). Medical experts could be saying not to panic in almost every interview because it would cause unneeded anxiety, overwhelm their capacity to care for people who actually need it, and also it’s good to repeat that because there many articles and news reports that seek to sensationalize for views and clicks.
@np It’s an excuse to not actually contain the virus
You’re one of those that bought all the toilet rolls aren’t you?
I stole my friend’s last roll of toilet paper.
He sounds like he still has the flu
@saltney17 lol that’s not racist at all, not everything is racist
saltney17 you sure you don’t have corona.
He remind me the guy of it crowd
@Te Es in what way does he not look healthy?
If I have Coron19, If I can choose, I would rather be in China than in the United States
I like this guy he’s a straight talker, no bs or unnecessary bias towards either side of the story
@Jordon Halpin he’s a actor
CONartist bunch of BS LIES
@Kayla Hart. Hi Kayla, I’m glad you did 🐾🍀😎🍀🐾 cool heart 🙄🍦
😂😂😂
Autistic people can be quite pointed.
“You get better before you get worse.” Well nice… now i can be afraid until i’m fully recovered
@MrTonyBarzini Please stop spreading misinformation. These are guesses based on SARS and MERS. Granted, they are similar but not identical. Also, these are very early studies, which around %82 of people do not show serious symptoms. with that being said, please still be proactive by washing your hands and taking the necessary precautions to fight this virus. if you read the full article and most of the statements/claims are from a different virus or very early studies, DO NOT post it. Misinformation is one of the worst ways to combat COVID-19
Billy Basnett were all going to die
MrTonyBarzini we’re all gonna die anyway.
Dominique Balabat TIME TO PANIC
@MrTonyBarzini you gotta have a ridiculous case for that, or previous health problems. I got diagnosed today (theres currently no testing in my state) and if it is ehat they say Ill be fine. Ill take this over the flu any day
This actually scares me and I came here to calm my nerves over this.
@smitty Couldn’t agree more. Peace and Good Health to you. ^^)
It is good to see he’s recovered! I like all the suggestions to read, draw, pray, learn new songs to sing from YouTube, pray for everyone. Thanks to this man for sharing his experience.
Please don’t be scared. Let’s try to do as this young person suggested and get busy….this time will pass…
You’ll be fine, Santa.
Realest comment ever👏
What a delightful young man..
That’s how he survived. Attitude..💪
the virus is no more dangerous than a flu
@Lucas Ribbands I don’t think any of us can know this until it is in our bodies my friend.
Lucas Ribbands Stay at home. So like any other sickness lol people are taking this over the top. “So brave”, even though he just stayed home lol
good to hear but everyone’s age, health, immune system strength, underlying health concerns, diet and exercise, bad habits, smoking, vaping, drinking, drugs etc is different.
Thank you! People who also failed to cleanse their colon! All kinds of viruses feed off the fecal matter in the colon!! I am tired of people giving partial truths while drinking and smoking and eating Foods that feed viruses as opposed to sustaining immunity! I wish people will tell the whole truth about what can be done to prevent illnesses in the first place! I wish people would wash their hands without the coronavirus being the reason why they wash their hands! I wish people would just do the right thing with their bodies without a deadly disease scaring them into doing the right thing!
I’d imagine it affects everyone slightly differently. A high fever is a human body’s normal response to try and kill a foreign virus/organism.
High fever is not always good. Can cause seizure in young children.
@Keisha Jones yeah, your own body can kill itself in an effort to defend itself. Our immune system is a defense mechanism that doesn’t rationalize at what temperature we’ll get brain damage.
@sean jokela no
@sean jokela thats always the case. Cold showers and sleeping on cold floors can do wonders. May sound odd. But it does work.
Lucas Ribbands yes, Sean is right, I would know because I had influenza type A and I almost died from my fever cause my body couldn’t fight it off.
No “how long did it last”, “How do you feel now” “are you worried about getting it again” “are there any lasting changes you’ve noticed” basic questions.
@STAY TRUE RECORDS bruh that’s bullshit! If you truly feel that way
@STAY TRUE RECORDS I bet you believe in flat Earth too
sam hawkz no you get a slightly different cold virus each time, then you gain immunity To that particular form of the virus. Same goes for Corona, get it once, have immunity for life. This is how we make vaccines, we take a weakened virus with the same appearance as its counterpart and inject it into the body so the immune system is prepared with antibodies for when it sees the real virus
H K viruses mutate so you aren’t completely immune. Because of virus mutation there’s a need for a vaccine. The corona virus is just a mutation of the flu that we don’t have a virus to that we won’t have until late summer to maybe even December. NVM I misunderstood
@sam hawkz Every cold you get is made up of different genetic material, like humans. If you have the same symptoms as your last cold, the genetics are different.
What a noble person.. thinking of others not himself. God Bless you.
Brilliant advice..!!! STAY HOME AND DONT CONTAMINATE OTHER PEOPLE.
JAY KRISSY So basically like getting sick normally. Lol he got sick, and should stay at home, common sense. Christ people get scared so easily.
Everybody on planet Earth should self quarantine for 3 weeks
Ya, you paying my bills.
That’s not realistic, though.
this is just a ruse and social experiment for the governments of the world to see how much control they have. its very nefarious what they doing. far worse than any virus. be warned
I’m on week 2 already
And who is going to pay my bills? 😂
