Coronavirus disease support

I don’t know if I need to post this in a support thread so apologies in advance.. These threads have been fab for support, help and guidance but I am majorly struggling tonight. After a lovely day, daily exercise the Morrison’s shop arrived and I just went into overdrive. Cleaned everything...

I like this level of information,
it’s crazy to think restaurants and cafes are closed until mid July though.

but I like knowing this is going to be a long process, and that’s being planned for. and they don’t feel the need to drip feed information like we’re toddlers.

(i also know a lot of the time it’s not that they’re keeping information from us, they just don’t know what’s happening themselves yet)
 
Rant -

I'm not being funny but I dont actually want to go back to work yet whilst all this is going on. Given the fact of how many younger people have died from this that havent had underlying health problems I dont really feel comfortable. My work are trying to reopen Wednesday and the work place that it is, I cant figure out how they would put social distancing in place to protect us.

I dont really agree with if they plan to open things gradually why should non essential workers have to suffer and go back to work first whilst schools and restaurants and shops stay shut til god knows how long? Theyve had scientists say shutting schools hasnt really helped.

Probably already been mentioned alot but I also really feel sorry for the nhs now having to go to work and put their own lives in danger because the government have made continuous shoddy decisions 😡 I know it's their job but they should be given then adequate protection so their lives arent put at risk every day.

I wish the government would stop lying I genuinely feel they are hiding the severity of it for some reason. They always seem so vague andto me when answering the medias questions in the briefing. They just skirt round the questions every single day. Someone asked why arent the figures been shown for non hospital deaths and they said they're available to the public. Well why arent they been bleeping shown then? I can guarantee the death toll is more than 11,324 or whatever is it today 😔😔

We arent past it unfortunately 😔 Raab confirmed we weren't today
 
I’m not holding out much hope for my holiday to France at the end of July. We might just make it there but I refuse to get excited after already having my heart ripped out over it once (ok bit dramatic but it was the thing I was looking forward to for ages before covid happened). Plus it all depends what’s happening here too.

Seen this doing the rounds on Facebook. No idea how true it is, maybe someone here knows more?

To be fair, some people are acting like toddlers so I understand the drip feeding

Personally I’d prefer to know the cold hard facts too, even if it’s very bad news. I think honesty about the expected timeline would help a lot of people feel more in control which would be nice considering the fact just about everything is uncertain

I completely agree, we’ve asked my husbands employer to clarify if has to go back or can he stay furloughed. Because we don’t feel comfortable with him going back tomorrow. I haven’t even left the house for 3 weeks I’m that scared, he’s been doing the shopping and picking meds up etc. I think some proper advice from the government needs addressing, we are told to stay at home!!

Totally doubt that. Why on earth would they throw out people’s medication?

People who make this stuff up and put it online are down right sick.

This absolutely cannot be true!
 
Going off that chart (from channel 4) someone posted on the last Covid-19 thread - I guess anyone over 70 and 'vulnerable' or 'mildly frail' is fucked then? That seems very, very harsh if that is an accurate chart as people as old as 102 have beaten it.
ON the topic of care homes, I would be taking elderly relatives out of them ASAP if I did have any in homes as the govt and the care assistants seem very hush hush on many of the conditions of residents. I know alot (I know of 2 with as many as 30 residents each) of care homes have been compromised in Birmingham and Covid spread to a lot of residents in early March.
 
People get off on the weirdest things, but those people that blatantly make up absolute bleeping rubbish to get a reaction or cause panic, especially during uncertain times are the sickest of them all.
Followed by those that believe and actively spread the tit that pours out of their mouths.
🤦🏻‍♀️
