Can A Sickle Cell (SCD) Patient Survive In The UK? by Haywhy433(op): 7:37pm On Jun 23, 2020

Good evening great Nairalanders

Please I need some advice on a pertinent issue. I'll like to know your thoughts on a Warrior (sc genotype) going to stay and work in the UK. The concern here is the cold weather over there.
Is it possible, how? Or it's a NO NO??
Also, scenarios will be highly appreciated if there's any. Thanks in advance for your invaluable contributions.

the southwest and cornwall have the mildest temperatures. They do not have a lot of Africans though.

The Worst months in these places are January February. Even then temperature rarely drops below zero. Summer temperatures are Nigerian. It will be 31 degrees tomorrow.

Best of all, Worldclass healthcare is available for free. Just in case you get sick.

All said and done,you should probably visit first in january . see how you like it before you move. Cheers
