How are you all dealing with coronavirus and the restrictions many of us have to live

Feb 23, 2021 at 10:53 AM

all this talk about lifting covid lockdown is bringing me ****ing down

at least in lockdown I didn't feel like such a worthless peace of crap. but soon as it's safe, everyone will return to their lives and the daily grind, but not me.... covid was just an excuse I could use for my ****ed up life

and then you get all the people saying to me : but it's a good thing, it's got lots of benifits. sure it has, if you have something to go back too.

rant over. I'm just fed up with it

The end of this month they are no longer mandatory the face mask. However those who chose not to wear the face mask. Might be yelled at. Last weekend I went to a restaurant and a customer who had walk in wasn't wearing a face mask and they were yelled at the employee just assume that the person who came in didn't have a face mask on. I felt horrible for the bad service they receive and they walk explaining they didn't want their service after the way they were treated. They never consider the fact that maybe once inside they might have went to place a mask on what if the person had asthma or had anxiety and can't wear the mask.

In this war the ammo is toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

. People hoarded all the toilet paper!

I’m expecting for us all to get the virus. I’m mostly concerned for my elderly parents not surviving it. The young, strong will be okay, I hope.

It's so silly that even with strangers I always wonder what they think, or if they think me odd. It has triggered my last panic attack, because I breathed through the mouth (it's just easier when I am tense) and I remembered not long ago when I did that some people I would have passed noticed and said to each other something along the lines of "that one is breathing through her mouth. Let's cross to the other side". I mean I get it, but -_-

I once taking my doggies out at night, I forgot the face mask, I was all the time covering my mouth with the long neck of my wool jumper. I felt so out of place and ashamed.

I feel you

Restrictions good. Virus bad.

Not sure what I'll do tomorrow yet. Maybe I'll e-mail my team lead in the morning to ask if there's any chance at working from home. But I also feel like I'm getting a cold so if that comes through I might just call in sick anyway.

I do wish I had a balcony now. If it comes to a point where we all have to stay home, it's going to be tough in my small flat on the 4th floor....

Don’t they say anything yet about working from home? I know the country you are is taking wise steps and quickly.
Stay calm it’s seems fever is the first symptom.
Have you got fever?
I’m happy to talk with you, Break.

No. Social distancing yes and they've basically shut down public life, at least in my city. Too late, by the way. But we're not being told to stay the f home yet.

Just want to distant myself from others. Live in a small town and drive 11 miles to work in a larger city, so will just work and come home, unless get a bad cold and cough. It’s annoying to be out and about shopping, and not know if someone has it or not. When shopping for dog food, another customer was really coughing in another aisle so hurried and gab a few bags of dog food and rushed out of there.

At least, do you count with the right safety conditions at work to avoid the pest?

Staying at home but ****ing anxious and stressed. I'm worried about my parents getting it from me or my siblings. My country's government is useless, greedy and heartless. Their response to the spread of covid-19/coronavirus is weaker than wet toilet paper.

I do understand you. I also see what your government is doing as a madness. But, remember a politician don’t screw it up, putting at risk his charge on purpose. They do it because they feel forced to cover bigger $h1t.

Hope everything goes well there for the population especially for people who are at more risk.

I should be on my way to work in 10 minutes but no. I'm not going. This is really really tough as we're still expected to turn up and I have a very strong fear of negative judgement and obviously I don't want to lose my job.... but it's a long commute, 20 minutes on public transport which is PACKED during rush hour. until there's actual official advice to work from home companies will still expect people to turn up.

I don't get it, all gatherings from with 50 or more people are forbidden. For events with less than 50 people, lists of all those present have to be kept with contact information for everyone. But 50 people in a train carriage, so close they're touching, standing face to face - that's fine?? And then spending 8 hours in open plan offices, with desks right next to each other - no problem???

I feel like 90% of Europe is being told to stay home as much as possible- including not going to work unless absolutely necessary - my country has just shut down all fun but we should risk our lives and those of other people to go to work still?

I understand you. Here the same even when we are one of the epidemic focus in Europe. In the trains still working there’s being also gatherings of many people and many companies didn’t establish the safety conditions to work.

Are you finally attending to work or at least, your coworkers are also the same side?

I'm grateful to my sore throat now - it's gotten to the point where it hurts to talk. I don't feel ill but as I work in customer service where I have to spend a lot of time talking on the phone, I've called in sick. Hopefully by Thursday when I have to go back to the office they'll have finally put the country in lockdown.

As long as I can still go grocery shopping - with extra safety measures if needed, like a limited number of people allowed inside - I'm good. I'm a hermit anyway

Don't have any friends to visit.

I'm confused about the situation in your country. Do people still have to go to work in non-essential professions? So you're not allowed outside unless it's for essential shopping OR going to work? No going for a run at 5 AM when the streets are empty?
Over here people are being told it's fine to go outside and into nature. And then there's reports from people in Italy saying that's a bad idea.

I’m fortunate enough to be able to stay home. I take care of my 85 year old mom and my brother who is in poor health. I am worried about them. For right now we are stocked up and I will only need to go pick up medicine. I have to admit to some anxiety. The federal response has not been on the mark.

Take care a lot. You are very important for them in this crisis.
