Not because I have my head in the sand, just because it's heavy. The numbers are catastrophic, but still small in total population percentages. Not really much comfort especially to those affected, but gives perspective imo. I hope that doesn't sound callous, it's not meant to be. Just trying to rationalise stuff. It's the only way. You would drive yourself barmy watching 24 hour coverage of this. Personally find that working in garden is relaxing, although my knees and back are killing me now. I beat the 'Bridge of Doom' in the 70's, 80's, 90's and the rest so no intention of letting some shitty virus get the better of me now.

I would happily accept it being a month as when our picture shows we're past the dreaded peak. When it comes, if it comes, it will be the first bit of progress to give people something to cling to. Psychologically we are used to timescales and fairly good estimations. We are easily troubled without them. Nobody likes being in limbo.

Cade Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Peak won't arrive for another 2-3 weeks or maybe even a month. With a long incubation period it will take that length of time for distancing and lockdown measures to bear fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of my former companies are involved in a consortium that has nothing to do with Dyson and are plowing in with ramping up production of an existing model. I won’t claim to know the details but I know they wouldn’t be doing that if they weren’t going to be sold at the end. im not being a government cheerleader, I completely acknowledge that mistakes have been made and balls dropped When it comes to ventilator production but given everything that is going on I just feel this relentless need to find any story to jump on the Tory scum bandwagon is unhelpful at a time people are already stressed and worried. Or you just want to avoid the truth being made public to ensure your government friends stay in power, their benefactors get the contracts etc etc Your post smacks of who cares whether its the truth or not we'd better not upset the applecart I fail to see how the truth would upset the public any more than the lies being fed by this government When you have had 57 days to get testing underway, when you have more than enough time to manufacture emergency clothing and when to date not one extra ventilator is available don't expect us to be grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was extremely emotional and this whole thing was getting the better of her. She confessed she had spent at least half the day watching Sky News keeping up to date on developments and all the negativity got the better of her. It turns out so had I and the pair of us had a good cry and got it all out our systems. I had realised before she rang that I had made the same mistake of watching too much coverage. Psychologically it had taken its toll on the pair of us. Bombarded with sights, facts, figures and images of people in distress had wrecked us both. It was quite an emotional realisation on top of what our brains were processing and we both agreed there and then to take breaks from the news to allow our brains to take in more positive aspects of our lives and balance everything out. Whether or not anyone else has experienced what we went through I would be interested to hear? I am no psychologist but since then we are both more balanced in our outlook and feel a damn sight better with what’s going on by simply exposing ourselves less to the understandably negative press. Stay safe people and look after your brains as well as your bodies. Felt very similar myself week beginning March 16th . I started to socially isolate the next day . Only been out to collect shopping my family have left me near my stair and have social distance chat with them . I was teary all that week thinking of the worse , rueing Over my life etc ! And like yourself saturated myself with social media and news which made it far worse . Got a bit paranoid the Sunday of that week as had diahrea and splitting head for couple days but that abated , could have been stress related ? Anyway my point is I’ve accepted the current situation , hating it but know it the end its for the best . I have strictly limited my tv news watching and reading depressing social media posts .

My only defence is I’ve just came back from picking up some shopping for my parents and it’s all very sensible queueing to get in then a fair percentage turn into arseholes who completely forget about distancing, squeezing by people, standing in the middle aisles etc etc. I know it’s hard but ffs stop making everything the supermarkets are doing pointless.

It's basically a way to keep the arseholes with symptoms away from gp surgeries, our resident doctor told how 2 gps have died already. In a bid to alleviate the pressure on GP surgeries, as of Monday this week, NHS Boards across Scotland started to use a unique system for treating patients experiencing symptoms. Today they have 50 dedicated coronavirus assessment centres set up across the country. Edited March 28, 2020 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
