COVID-19 Coronavirus

This is us too. Jessica has only met her Nana because she moved in with us as she was isolated and suffering emotionally. My brother, SIL, niece and nephew have seen her briefly from a distance while dropping off an afternoon tea for us. My husband's parents are not doing well, his dad had a stroke in Jan so his mum is caring for him but not even able to get conversation without a lot of effort as he is struggling with his speech. Jessica is their first grandchild and two months old this week, they have missed so much and no amount of photos and video calls can make up for that. We've made the decision for their mental well-being that they can visit. This is timed with husband's annual leave next week, they are completely isolating beforehand and are under strict instructions to drive straight here, no stopping at service stations unless his mum is tired and needs to rest but not to get out the car. They will be here a few days and will do the same when going home. I have to admit I am very nervous for little Jessica but at some point we need to do this

That’s so sad! You’re definitely doing the right thing! x
 
Politics and Relgion are topics that cut deep.
My view the way Cummings sat in his garden addressing the questions as tho he was in power forgetting his position and his explanations were flawed his artitude . . Do you not realizes who I am . . Like a officer in battle.
I don't care about his family circumstances WE ALL in this as Boris said at the beginning together. . The bigger picture is Boris is scared to sack him as The public expect because Cummings has a hold on Boris with damaging material.
Classic case as Brown had over Blair. .
Remember Brown sold off all UK gold :doh:in 12 years as exchequer then became a moron P.M.
Now another PM is looking weak and we really need a leader. . .
For me Most of them should be put on a very cold remote island where they can't spend their M.P. pension which all get when they leave parliament £50000 to £70000 for life. :dri: I take them because Mr Branson can't afford it. :cen::cen::cen:
 
While Cummings and his gang can do what they like the rest of us have been doing what we were told whether we believed in it or not. I'm afraid this is the straw that broke the camels back for a lot of people and has confirmed what I thought, this lockdown is too strict, people should have been given the facts and allowed to make their own decisions. Sadly even though we are allowed to see a family member outside now I still can't go and check my daughter is okay because she is in Wales and they have stricter rules.

That's sad and I really feel for you and those on here that can't meet their loved ones.
More so them who family member die alone and very frightened. . Absoulte horrific and WRONG
 
Last night and out of the blue, I thought it would be a good idea to see a psychologist to talk about issues from COVID-19 lockdown.
This is the first time I felt this way in nearly 3 months of lockdown.
This morning, I figured if I continue to feel this way, I would probably call for an online counseling. I really don't want to visit a place for counseling.

You won't be alone in needing to seek help to help cope with this situation and talking to someone would be a positive step

The length of time I have been alone is a big issue for me. For months, I have not been able to interact with others in public places like the restaurants, movie theaters, shops and malls, which I thoroughly enjoy doing these things.

That is the right decision for your family. I hope you have a lovely few days together. Jessica will love having new people to engage with.

It sort of confirms my belief that Government are not too fussed about people. Boris is now "trusting the people" again, which worked so well last time. I thought restrictions would be released slowly to help prevent a second wave... surely opening all non essential shops a couple of weeks after inviting more children to schools is a bit of a random choice? Lots of schools around here are actually opening on 8th or 15th June, so they can put further action plans in place & do more detailed risk assessments.

Do what us right for you, you have to be your top priority.

I've kind of got used to the idea now that I will have to wait to see friends etc. I'm the only one that doesn't drive so can't really appear outside someone's house for a socially distanced catch up (my mums friend turned up last week, stood next to her car & mum stood on the doorstep - 50 minutes they were talking!) Or meet someone at a park or field / something. Video calling it is for the forseeable.
 
Scotland today announced we can see one household from tomorrow, although it's important we stay outside, don't touch surfaces etc.

The UK briefing I didn't watch, however I did read an article and find it bizarre that from Monday 6 people from different households can meet providing they keep distance. It seemed to be a different message from prof Whitty, new cases are going up significantly, let's let people meet more people. I feel it's quite a mixed message, and wondered about other people's thoughts?
 
When schools re open which is next Friday in England, we will see which way the virus is going to go. And I don't think itl be away. Sorry
 
Well we made it to level 6 of 2020... lets see what June brings us!
 
At the age of nearly 30... I've just had to do an online order for toiletries! We have never been as low on stuff. We don't stockpile stuff but always have supplies in just in case we can't get out one week. I've never nearly ran out of face wash before or deodorant but this month it nearly happened!

75 days in, hope everyone is well.

I’m hoping I get accepted onto a vaccine trial. Had my screening today which all seemed ok. Got to get the sign off then hopefully will get to start the blood tests next week!

What will it involve?
 
Tigermoth said:
Antibody screen to make sure I’ve not had it to start with. Then a vaccine, either covid or meningitis, I won’t know, then follow up, presumably further antibody tests but that hasn’t been spelled out yet.

Why would you have the meningitis vaccine if they’re trialing one for Covid?

Because it’s a blind trial so I assume it’s to do with what else they can give. So it’s a known safe vaccine that will have similar side effects, just for sOne thing that isn’t covid.

I have always been weird about deodorant and shower gel...I stockpile it anyway because I get really paranoid about having less than 4 lots of each. I swear it's a hangover from when my mum used to scream that I clearly didn't know how to shower properly and how I stank (I never did, she was...rather unwell, to put it mildly). It's been a lifesaver these last few months though, I haven't had to worry about toiletries at all.
 
We were forced to stockpile she. Everyone first went manic and buying everything out of the shops! I wasn’t happy but my hand was forced. But it’s kind of nice because we don’t have to buy some staples for a while now.
