Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I think it's fine. If they have it, they can't spread it rampantly due to the lockdown and we want people to become infected we just need space for them in hospital if they need it.

Realistically they are just as likely to get it in Tescos, it's here en masse now.

To be perfectly honest Dan as I fall in the at risk category I'd sooner not get it... And it's, probably why I 've been avoiding Tesco like the plague ??...

Went to a Tesco this morning, not good, not good at all.
Some of their customers are just bloody idiots.
 
heck - Sharma leading the briefing and waffling and not answering the questions as normal - he is very unconvincing and frankly does nothing for the government or their handling of the crisis. Ban him to back office.

I woke up at 2am this morning.. cold sweat... thinking about job, house and the safety of the family. Could not go back to sleep till about 5pm. This is indeed taking over our life. Effing depressing. I am sure there is an increase in calls to our mental helplines. The bleeping reality is that there is no one who can provide any real solution - simply because no one really knows what is going to happen. At best everyone will say 'it will be alright'.

Sorry, this may feel like a cop out, but it is playing on my mind. Anyone else feeling this pain?

No I’m not thankfully but I certainly feel your pain and where your coming from.
I really do worry about how some people are coping and hope we can all come out the other side relatively unharmed.
I suppose worrying will also not help but whatever your situation I hope it all works out.

I had a wobble about a week and a half ago. Worried about work, the impact that would have on my family going forward. Oddly enough not at all worried about the virus itself. I'm not a materialistic person, it was a worry about basics, house, bills, food etc. It wasn't rational, company isn't going to go pop overnight, but for that one day it was quite overwhelming and I kept filling up at work. Not had a repeat thankfully, although I am permanently anxious, haven't truly relaxed since this all kicked off.

In essence, no you are not alone.

Definitely not alone Vinesh....a few wobbles are normal.
As I posted yesterday, I'm far from convinced I'll, be able to resume work until SD is removed completely.
It's a waiting game....someone up on high will, eventually, make a decision on driving instruction and I'll go with whatever is decided. But if the Govt can't/won't prop me up until then I may need to consider my options. Not something I'm looking forward to...
 
Wobbled 2 days in. It was all about our children. Will they be ok? One of them is very much in the at risk group. Not sure when we'll get to see any of them again, which isn't helping.
A bit of community work, volunteering, helps but we'd love to get outside our gate together and go for a walk. We're 100m from open countryside but Spanish lockdown is very restricting.

I feel your pain, my wife got the clippers out yesterday. My only words we just be careful and don't go near the beard. I've ended up with a No6 on top, a No1 at the sides and you guessed it she went to low and got the beard with the No1, so I've had to completely buzz cut that to ?

Only way I can describe it is I look like a Marine. Sadly not the former Royal Marine I am, but a US Marine with a crap hair cut. OORAH!

Either that or I look like a 12 year old boy I'm not sure what's worse.

You've got to be quick on your feet to take the mick out of a Booties haircut.
