Fake news.

Just been told the post by Bill Gates is fake news!

Well who ever wrote it has told the facts to me anyway. So I don’t care. It’s still relevant, so sorry to those who found it offensive.

Thank you all.

In my opinion, the thing to remember about any forum is that people will offer all sorts of advice, opinions and suggestions generally based on their own experiences. Whether people accept or reject what’s said is, of course, entirely up to them. Most people, I think, will relate positively to the content of your post regardless of who was responsible for originally writing it........

Not at all offensive. Doesn't matter who wrote it as far as I can see it says everything. I've sent it to all my friends who agree. So thanks. If it makes one person think, it will help.

I'm trying. AF is all new for me. Had myocarditis in January followed by AF about 8 weeks afterwards. At first diagnosed with heart attack as I believe symptoms are similar. This forum has helped enormously get my AF into perspective. With current affairs going on in self isolating with hubby spending time writing. My last health issue when I had breast cancer i used parts of that experience in a book I published. A romance that shows how I felt. I'm one of the lucky ones. Cancer visited and left me 31 years ago. Stay safe and have a great day.

Of no consequence who shared their thoughts. If prefixing with Bill Gates name makes more people read that's all good. Not offensive in any way

In the long run, it doesn’t matter who said, wrote or did something uplifting, sotolol. What is important is the message.

I agree - it doesn't matter who wrote it. It might be Bill Gates or 'The Man in The Pub' (remember Viz ?) ;-) I enjoyed reading it.

It might be fake news but that might be fake news too ;-)

The only offensive bit to me was a glaring grammatical /spelling mistake which was the clue! Otherwise the sentiments were good.

Not at all offensive Sotalol! I found it very apt and thought provoking and don't really care who wrote it.

Apparently he is leaving his most of his fortune to charitable foundations.

I suspected that and ignored its content. Bill Gates isn't an angel but has done wonderful things with his money. What is more worrying to me is that someone sits and writes these things. That amazes me - who and why?

Don't worry in the least, we all get fooled at times, and the sentiments were laudable.

Thank you. Had a few names put forward but then I don’t know if that’s fake. Maybe I wrote it and can’t remember. Brain fog!! 🙃

I was thinking more generally of fake news and the “meme”-like things that flood social media. There’s a far-from-innocent, devious (and very wealthy) political PR company behind most of them.

Yes never thought of it like that. But makes total sense. The world is all about money. !

What you posted has fine wisdom and thoughts to live by. Why should anyone be offended?

Don't worry yourself.

In my post, I just wanted to correct that it didn't originate from Bill Gates. Just to set the record straight. I apologize if my correction caused you any upset.

It's the last thing we all need on here.

Bless you Mrhermyl I got that. Thank you for posting. Hope you are coping with all what’s going on. Stay well.

And many blessings to you as well. I'm in Canada and all is in lock down .

Thank you for asking,

I have this heart issue, 50% lung capacity, trying to deal with the Beta Blocker and blood thinner which exhaust me, Blood Pressure ACE drug which supposedly promotes severe to fatal Corona Virus disease. So I know I'm not in a safe mode.

At 70, I am my grown son's caregiver, he has seizures and bad OCD, and he has cognitive problems. My wife recently passed away in 12 hrs due to the flesh eating disease out of the blue. Quite an adjustment to make.

We all have various health issues to deal with and now this Virus is keeping us all on pins and needles. That is why the wisdom you posted should only come to us as a helpful set of rules to live by. We all have so much on our plates it make one wonder where we are going from here.

Sorry for running off at the mouth !

Keep well sotolol and thanks for listening.
