Thank-you both for your answers, I appreciate them a whole lot. I wasn't farming for sympathy votes or anything like that. The whole situation is just so draining, and I am very aware how lucky I am to still earn an income and have some stability when there are millions of people not in the same position as I am.

I just find the mindset of some people so hard to understand, and it's causing so much pain and issues for other people..

I've got colleagues dropping like flies and in hospital, and people are just ignoring the rules put in place to safeguard them from the whole Covid nightmare. I just don't get it. It's so deflating, and I know I'm not the only one feeling that way.
How long before it all crumbles and stops working ?
I don't want to turn this into a work topic, but it's had a noticeable effect on my health. I've got my panda eyes back, even though I tend to agree with shift work and nights..
