UPDATE @ 15:50 – The female patient, thought to be suffering from cardiac issues, has been flown directly to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth for specialist treatment.
Sad for the man , hope he gets well , but I drove along there, chocker block with tourists and motorhomes, nobody had masks, just go home, there is a virus and be safe
Did you read the report? Female patient, not male.
Does it really matter
The first report did not give a gender for the patient !
So immediately it was presumed to be a man?
