O dear, that's aweful! I hope he beats it.
One of my cousin who works at a hospital in England contracted it. Well, they didn't give him the result, but we suspect it's that.
Thank God he is on the mend.

A close friend passed last night from the dreaded Covid-19. Until one actually knows someone afflicted it ceases to be an abstract statistic.

That's one of the good if not great things about those who believe. To date, not a single one of them contracted this dreaded Coronavirus much less died from it.

 
Ayenmol 2020-04-06 16:46:49 

In reply to Curtis

The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous runs and is given protection.11 The valuable things of the rich are his strong town, and they are like a protective wall in his imagination


Really? So the man goes through his life vehemently opposed to the existence of God, then am supposed to pray to God to heal him miraculously?

Which scripture in the Bible supports that?

for it is written: “‘As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘to me every knee will bend down, and every tongue will make open acknowledgment to God.’”12 So, then, each of us will render an account for himself to God


So....has he done the above?

How does God choose which will die and which he will keep?

I dont know banner, but the best of luck.
I wish you well



This C19 is extremely dangerous as I keep noting on various threads.

If one is on a ventilator one has a 40% chance of surviving and the odds go down the longer one is on it.

Its scars the lungs not allowing it to function. Watch carefully when it rebounds later.

B16JP587S 2020-04-06 17:38:29 

If he can, let him eat lots of fresh, raw, ripe, watery fruits to hydrate* and clear his lungs, nose and body of mucus so he could breathe better. Stop all sugar and salt, and food that take long to digest because they will dehydrate and clog the body up more and produce more mucus and make it harder to breathe.

*Fresh, raw, ripe, watery fruits hydrate the body in a way regular water can't. Don't stop drinking water though,obviously.

One caveat- diarrhea will likely happen as that is one way the body tries to cleanse itself and one of the ways mucus is eliminated.

I hope everything turns out good.

show me a scripture that backs up your judgement....I guess your words regarding my future is Godly?

I have presented the truth from the Bible....am not wishing anything bad for banner....if he is strong enough he may survive, if not, he may not. I have not judged anyone....but no matter what you or anyone else thinks, post or wishes, God does not change his standards.

So show me where am wrong and where the Bible teaches prayer can save an unbeliever.

In reply to Larr Pullo

Meh, i expect nothing better from you or others.....love to speak of lies and dishonesty but then fall for it as long as there is some emotional angle.

Quit asking for prayers for people. It means little to those who have no faith and God is not listening to prayers to heal.

Your emotional outburst and attempt to ostracize not withstanding.

Barry 2020-04-06 18:42:28 

In reply to Ayenmol

Ayenmol, your dogma describes a resurrection for the righteous and unrighteous- it is very distinct to mainstream Christianity because it positions the final judgement after the 1000 year reign. The SDA version is similar but distinct.

Acts 24:15
New Living Translation
I have the same hope in God that these men have, that he will raise both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

In reply to Ayenmol

But how do you pray for God to help someone who does not believe in him?


Easy!!!!

Here goes:

Father God (Jehovah) I pray for the deliverance of our brother Banner in this time of ailment. I pray that you may use this time of difficulty as a revelation of your mercy and divine power...for we know that ALL have sinned and come short of your glory.

AMEN.

See? Not too difficult for people of faith.

Which scripture in the Bible supports that?

"Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"

Persecute: subject (someone) to hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of their race or political or religious beliefs.

Now stop acting like a clown it's disturbing man...

In reply to hotarobin

What are you praying for in their behalf...

Jesus prayed for God to forgive those who put him to death....what was the outcome?

The robner who was nailed to the stake next to Jesus expressed faith in Jesus...did Jesius save him from his sentence?

Every single person who Jesus healed expreased faith...
Not only expressed but put faith in acrion which resulted in the mercy from God.

Can you show me a single one who was a result of prayer by someone else?

...you asked for a scripture. I gave you one but nooooo you are the type to shift the goal posts until you can get a win because serving the Lord is about winning for you which is fundamentally flawed...check yourself soldier...

Anyways the man who was healed at the pool of Bethesda didn't exactly express faith, he was healed immediately when Jesus told him to take up his pallet...

Now I am not going to get into any further silly arguments with you on this forum...check yourself soldier...

Lots of positive vibes on here, except for the few rain clouds hovering around,,,but so it go with the rain.

I've got a cuz, young woman, 1 week in hospital and she fighting the fight....when we had feared the worse.

It might be slow , but so it go, small improvements will add up. Keep the spirit up, and your thoughts positive.

At the end of the day...we r all in this together as this plague cuts across every class, sect, ethnic group .

Take care, you and your wife, my friend.

Isolate for as long as you have the virus, not the 7 days the idiots in the British government were saying. Boris Johnson is in his 11th day!

The WHO Recommends that you self-isolate for 14 days after symptoms cease. I follow the WHO, not the British government.

cricketmad 2020-04-07 11:12:38 

Thanks all your your kind wishes. I was the first to get the virus,and after a few days started to feel much better ,then my wife started showing symptoms. As if that wasnt bad enough I started showing new symptoms which would appear to go away only to return. This bastard of a virus makes you just want to lay in bed ,and sleep away. I have to be caring for my wife while suffering myself as she is much weaker than me,and is diabetic.I realized yesterday that my wife was giving up ,and took things into my hands by forced feeding her .She wasnt eating or drinking anything,all she wanted to do was sleep.

This cunning virus test your resolve to the max ,it lulls you into thinking you have beaten it then hits you with a vengeance .You lose your desire for anything ,but sleep which is where it wants you at your weakest point.

True dat. My 91y.o Aunt Myra died of COVID - 2 days ago. She was in a NYC hospital for 5 days putting up a fight.
The big deal right now is finding a funeral home that have the space and capability to handle the arrangements for burial.
Luckily today my Cuz got word from one to cine see them tomorrow.

That Aunt was my Rock of Gibraltar. I grew up with her from 8 y.o. through my high school years when my mom migrated to UK as one of those many nurses recruited to London back in the days.
She kept me and my young brother on the straight & narrow despite our rebellion. She is missed!!

 
np 2020-04-10 04:23:33 

Hoping For the best outcomes for Banner and Cricketmad & wife.

This is not going away anytime soon. The patient has to be in the fight alongside any medication to pull through - don’t give up.

crews of Informationists are fighting hard to follow the research and determine with the clinical scientists at TU and many places new best practices to research and find a path to stop this pandemic. Drug discovery is NOT an overnight thing ... but there are signs upcoming.

Peeps this is the long haul - don’t pay Trump no mind - this is beyond end of April sadly.

May I share a reading from John 11


21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask Him.”
23“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
24Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
26And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

You are right. This thing is with us for the long haul, and the sooner we all get that the better.

My hope is that we will all emerge in a different world... a world that knows it must put social development (people) ahead of economic development (banksters & conglomerates) because if we don't we will lose both people and the economy.

I'm pretty sure it must have been circulating when I was there. I remember 2 weeks after I left I had this weird flu like event. I was in NYC and came down with a fever and other symptoms, but it went away pretty quickly. I boosted the Vitamin C and Zinc and that was that. I'll do an anti-body test after this is all done to see if anything shows up.

I live on this site in my virtual world and feel part of a community here since I am not a in a very populated town with many West Indians. The sense of humor is very refreshing and reminds me of my roots.
The loss of a member therefore under the given or any circumstances is most devastating. May the Supreme grant His Divine Grace to all the family and friends of Banner.
Our time in this world is marked by the happy memories we leave behind with those we encountered. It is also a measurement of our humanity and a crucial aspect of this blessed human lifecycle. The many tributes here clearly suggests the passing of a special soul from our world with Banner existing stage right.

For those of us still on the stage, in any given year , we are also passing that day/month that will ultimately become our departure date or forever our end of time anniversary. We therefore have to spare a moment daily to honor those that have impacted us so we too can leave this world a better place than they way we found it. That should be things with in our control and not as far as CWI, to not be too dark on a peaceful Good Friday.

May Lord Krishna bless , guide and protect the beloved Banner's family and friends during this moment of testing.

There will be continued fatalities based on the continued growth of infections. And there will too, a light at the end of the long tunnel —

Yes, and it’s not to be expected tomorrow or in a week. Testing of any antidote will require - test, results (a while) then more bench work depending on results of test. Test again as needed - then launch. Be patient folks and OBSERVE THE DISTANCING - it will pay dividends.

Looking at this thing,and reading the post from Larr, i have a similar experience and just sense that this thing was going around from maybe January. i travel a lot and earlier this year in DC i went to urgent care with what i viewed as a bad cold, and they checked me for strep and the flu..both were negative. the numbers in Miami and ft lauderdale are rising by 1,000 infections each day. it just seems this was here from earlier in the year.

It's not rubbish, older folks are more vulnerable but younger people with underlying conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions or other serious preexisting conditions are also at risk.

Man had real stock

Lee Harvey Nurse (born 24 December 1976) was an English cricketer. Nurse was a right-handed batsman. He was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire. He died on 9 April 2020 as a result of complications of COVID-19 during the coronavirus pandemic.[1]

Nurse made his debut for Berkshire County Cricket Club in the 1997 Minor Counties Championship against Dorset. He played 29 Minor Counties Championships matches for the side, with his final appearance for the county coming against Cheshire.[2] He also played in 14 MCCA Knockout Trophy matches, the last of which came against Dorset in 2006.[3]

Nurse also represented the county in List A matches, making his List A debut against Sussex Cricket Board in the 2000 NatWest Trophy. He represented the county a seven List A matches, with his final match in that format coming against Durham in the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy.[4]

21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask Him.”
23“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
24Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
26And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.


Perfect!

problemjay 2020-04-13 04:57:08 

Based on his postings Banner was a Brian Lara admirer and supporter and maybe thats why we got along well on the forum. He posted more on the cricket side of this Oval than over here so we never really engaged in the world arena of ideas and cultural exchanges but I remember him well.

When I first joined, I was more active on the Cricket side of the house. I remember there were a couple anti-Trini cricket subjects by anti-Trini posters on that side of the school yard derived simply on their view of Trinis so I had to straighten that out very quickly before coming over here to post regularly. Banner on the other hand, batted over there like a seasonal veteran, always level headed and you could tell his input and reason always came from experience.

But all in all Banner, you gave us here on this site a memorable innings. The regulars in here can easily remember your threads and that says a lot. i lift my bat to you on behalf of all the level minded reasonable ones that still exist here. I lift my the same way Lara did at Kensington in 1999 after humiliating the Aussies, because that's the type of tribute you demand for what you have contributed here at this CC Oval.

We are 4 weeks into the lockdown and all social norms have been turned upside down for good

I suspect there is a quiet cull
going on in the job sector some immediately after the first wave of furloughing.

employers are getting ruthless by the minute
As the enormity sinks in some staff are being furloughed for good

Hope you and family are good stay safe
