Are you worried

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Yes I am worried, worried that when we start going out and mixing like before a second wave will hit the ones who have been self isolating.

I think it will take quite a while before many of us are comfortable mixing in crowds again.

Maddog · Go Outside

I think this will affect us the rest of out lives to some degree.

My mom was born in 1931. Her mom was born 1895. She would have been early 20's during the Spanish Flu. My mom is a germaphobe and I bet that was learned from her mom who likely lost friends and family 1918 -1920.

It's bound to have a knock on effect, and when over 15 million people world wide are killed by a virus that came back 2 more times in the space of a year.....it's not surprising that many people brought their families up with a fear of catching killer germs.

I think it is too early to lift the restrictions in 3 weeks.
I for one will not be rushing out to mingle with others, even though

by then my hair will seriously want some attention.

In fact I feel scared to go out knowing that the virus is still out there.

Once the virus has finished doing it's thing then the worldwide recession begins - the worst since the Wall Street Crash, millions will starve in the poorer subsistence countries, it's all going to get very grim indeed.

I will go out to work but I too need my hair doing and damn toothache but a big but, there will be no social distancing with the hair girl or the dentist. I won't feel safe until there is a vaccine and treatment.

Don't be daft JD, just shows you lack awareness. People are eager to get out and spend, spend spend.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Millions of people worldwide wont have much to spend when all this is over.
In the UK many people are suffering financially, even though this government has done what it can to ease the burden, think of the countries where the governments are not so generous.
There will be a lot of poverty around long after this bloody plague has diminished.

Only if they have the money to.

Oh and what about the coming famines?

The EU wanted to be generous with ventilators for countries who need them but the UK said "no thanks! " even though the NHS is desperately in need. The Government assure the outraged families that their choice is in no way political.

For once, they are being honest. Politics? Who cares! Human life? Not a priority! Boris has his good friend Mr Dyson looking after the making of ventilators so those seriously ill patients can just sit tight and wait while the elite profits from a pandemic.

Like the leaked Government email said you win some (lucrative contracts), you lose some (elderly people).

I'm worried about dr Synne. Has he succumbed, or has the Army taken over his village and confiscated his hard drive?///

I to was going to ask about him Back on topic, hard to say but I'm close to tears every day since this Covid thing. Reading headlines just now brought some tears to my eyes. It is sunny outside and I will sit on the balcony and listen to Radio 2 or a local station and take my mind of this. Papers were saying the over 60's may be asked to stay in. I know it's for our safety but I miss my children, family, friends.

I think anyone would have to be odd not to be worried and unsettled at the moment. Nothing like this has ever happened in living memory, and the uncertainty of what's going to happen in the weeks/months ahead is very unsettling.

All you can do is follow the advice of self distancing and staying home as much as you are able.....and if you have a garden, a balcony, a window even, enjoy the sun (at the moment) and know that when this passes we will all be able to see the people we love and miss again.....and there is always WhatsApp for eg to keep in touch.

I'm watch PMQ's with the Health bloke. The new Labour man did try to ask questions about PPE and testing but on the whole was fed BS.

They keep on saying they are "following the science." If they were we'd have about the same number of deaths for C19 but 300% up at the very least. The fall guys will be thrown under the perverbale bus son, Hancock, that lady that appeared on GMT again and was shown up by Piers again and the two science men. Why don't they share with the public their scieience. Imo it is because they are all trying to control their departments and not up to the job. The army has just told PHE - get lost you are not going to show us up regrd PPE we will help but we will lead. Sack the top and then pray we do not hear the same excuses, EG ramping up, we have 100k tests, PPE is arriving tonight, we lead vaccines, we are working hard and so on - honestly I am in tears want to hug someone. I dran two glasses of wine last night to go to sleep and it's ok when I do that but feel low in the morning.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Exercise, ring people to talk, spend time doing things you like to do. Everyone is in the same boat....it'll pass, try not to get too down about it, no point, we just all have to see it through.

You are lovely and caring. Sat in the sun did me good. I'm not too high up off the ground but high enough not to attract the attention of stupid people walking by on the pavement and making crass comments. I will have my tea and go out but it is still sunny may do a gentle walk and then do tea. I love wine but it i running out but I think it's for the better. Getting online delivery is hard. Posting on forums is nice but then again on one other site, most of them are younger or lie about being younger and I feel left out, vulnerable. xx
