I wear a mask just in case I might have the virus and pass it on but also aware that it might be a waste of time. But if it helps people with their anxiety about the virus then thats fine with me. I have even greater empathy for the countless millions who may lose their jobs due to lockdowns and the snowball effects to their mental health, family life, relationships, housing situation etc . In my line of work we are seeing countless referrals for support regarding financial issues as well as mental health issues and family breakdowns / domestic violence etc all exacerbated by the lockdown. I dread to think what another full lockdown would do. Yes localised lockdowns which are time limited are not an issue as such but its the uncertainty of it all which is affected peoples mental well being. That's understandable, James. These are pretty awful times. You're spot on that folk need certainty (or at least security that things aren't going to change too much). Hopefully as we refine our approach to the pandemic, it will get better. It has been a very steep learning curve. All the best with the work you're doing.

I think it's more likely that if people see their freedom being removed bit by bit then it might spark some unrest. It's not like there is any end to it.

Yes its the "uncertainty" of it all which is causing stress and anxiety but unfortunately it is the nature of the beast as the SG and BG are only responding to daily data i suppose.

Back to 2005 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 curiously enough this was on my Facebook tonight. Was shared by a friend so I don't know the person. Maybe the mask police could justify them to this girl or her family. Heads up.... masks off ⚠️Be careful HEALTHY people, shared from a friend.... My daughter. 19 yrs old. Healthy. Frontline worker at a huge grocery store chain. Started feeling sick about two weeks ago. Side and back pain. Nausea.. Chest pain. Primary doc sent her for chest x-ray.. Something "lit up" on right side. Sent for MRI. Cat scan. Ultra sound of back and abdomen areas..NOTHING.. While at work was unable to breathe. Chest pain. Rushed to e.r. quarantined. Tested for covid. Young. By herself because no one can be with her. Turns out its pleurisy.. An inflection of the outside of the lining of the lungs. They basically tell her.. It's because she has been wearing a mask for over 8 hours a day 5-6 days a week. Breathing in her own bacteria. Carbon dioxide.. Caused an infection. And now she is in severe pain. Has to be off work with no pay.. But you wont see that on social media! She's 19. Healthy. And now is bed bound and struggling to breathe. Antibiotics. Steroids. Breathing treatments.
