Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #22

Bloody hell.
Also, why's it taken so long for them to give them to the NHS?
Surely that should have been given alongside the PPE they gave weeks ago?

Mind is blown they're even real ventilators

Someone died on Casualty who was on ventilator and my Husband said he wasn't surprised he died as the vent was hooked up properly and had the leads running in the wrong way

Oh. My. Fucking. God. Sorry for swearing but have you seen the size of that thing???? He's swinging it around like nobody's business - no mirror or anything! Jeez!

It's a good job we know what your talking about

Lovely to hear from Boris again. I bet he won't take that long off though.

Yes I think so too. I think a very heartfelt speech from him. I know some people are questioning the situation he was in, but I Believe it was real and I think now he has a true understanding how valuable our NHS is. Lets hope he remembers this in the future .

I’ve had the most lovely day sat in the garden doing a jigsaw with my mum (same house). I haven’t been on my phone or checked the news until now. I feel so much more refreshed and less panicky. Need to remind myself to have days like this, turned off from it all, more often!!

god bless you. Sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family

I'm sorry to hear about your dad xx

sorry I didn’t want a pity party at all. Normally bite my tongue BUT to say it’s an over the top precaution boiled my piss tbf

thank you xx

I must be mean because all I want is a kid free day.

I’m going to celebrate when my childminder is open again. Sorry kids.

I wish I experienced grief like that.

Mines more like this
Come to accept that it always will be.

I'm finding grief never-ending. My dad died in April 2015 and four months later my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She died in July 2016. I'm still grieving and I don't think it will ever truly go away - it's like there's a raw patch inside me that just won't heal.

I see his partner sent him some scan pics of the baby ,they haven't seen each other for a month..

Ok I’m gonna go there cuz why not. Lynch me if you will.

How long’s it been since he saw the rest of his kids?

Sorry to read that so many of you are struggling today. Don’t be so hard on yourselves.
There is a support group set up here https://tattle.life/threads/coronavirus-disease-support.4990/
Obviously you can still post on here but I’d hate your posts to get missed amongst the rest of the posts because it can be a fast moving thread sometimes, whereas the other thread is solely for support.
Take care xx

as with the advice section of this site, nobody is equipped to deal with anyone who might be feeling like it’s all too much.

Samaritans - Here to listen

Samaritans works to make sure there’s always someone there for anyone who needs someone. Read more.

www.samaritans.org

but if there is a pattern or a number of posts that seem to be trying to goad for a reaction, they will be removed.

Well I wouldn't expect anyone on here to deal with anything like that, and you can remove what you like ... I was merely saying how I feel when I see posts like that it makes me wonder how others are coping .. I watched a psychiatrist on the covid special earlier and she was saying the rise in PTSD and mental illness is going to be catastrophic both during and after this is over ..She said there needs to be something set up in regards to a mental health task force ASAP as this emergency is going to lead to an even bigger one ...

My stepmom is self isolating. She had a mastectomy before Christmas. I've ordered her some soft bras as her current ones are beginning to rub. Parcel was delivered for click and collect yesterday.

Went to shop, woman said sorry there's no parcels here. I've received email saying it was ready for collection. Showed her email and she said clothes aren't really essential, your parcel isn't here.
Long story short, she didn't check for parcel, wouldn't check for parcel, just told me it wasn't there. Could see the pile of parecles where they keep them behind counter. She kept saying no they are not essential and you should only be buying essentials.

I left empty handed then had another email saying I've still not got parcel. I've contact the delivery people and waiting for a reply. Been to the shop again today and she still won't check.

Tried to reorder online but they are now out of stock.

Wtf am I meant to do?! Can she just hold on to what she thinks are non essential.

Plus shes whacked her prices up too. £2.70 for a loaf of bread and £9.99 for 4 pack of Bud.

You do not need to explain to this woman what is in the parcel or who it’s for. It is your parcel and it’s none of her business. She has absolutely no legal powers to withhold someone’s parcel!!!!

see s. 84 of Postal Services Act

Postal Services Act 2000

An Act to establish the Postal Services Commission and the Consumer Council for Postal Services; to provide for the licensing of certain postal services and for a universal postal service; to provide for the vesting of the property, rights and liabilities of the Post Office in a company...

They substituted my Ferrero Rocher egg for a Lindt Lindor. I'll accept it. Why my husband thought that 2 bags of sprouts were essential during a lockdown, I do not know. He did add a large bottle of gin to the order though so I'll let it slide.

I skimmed through what you wrote and thought you said they substituted your Forerro Rocher for 2 bags of sprouts
Thought you'd been robbed blind for a second

Good Idea

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

If it helps, I haven’t been wiping down any of my shopping or parcels or anything. I can barely care for myself at the minute lol. But I’m still here fannying about on tattle and not dead so....

It really sounds like you’ve got a bit stuck in your own head about this. I know how difficult it can be when you get to that point but not everything needs wiping down, not everything will carry the virus. Me saying that probably won’t change your mindset I know, but please remember despite all the talk about death more people survive this than not. Look after yourself x

 

[KateESJ]

Hugs to everyone today it seems there’s something in the air! I woke up feeling horrible too. Just wanted to stay in bed today.

And to all the other Mums. I relate. I always feel like I’m not doing enough for them, but kids are resilient. We’re all doing great.

And remember:

New statement from Boris

I just hope this has changed his views on funding to the NHS and also his views on foreign workers.

Underwear is essential though. Fashion I get, but come on! What a cunt, hopefully when all this is done people will remember these clowns for their attitude during a difficult time and buy elsewhere.

Not to be a Debbie downer,
we’re facing very, VERY uncertain times in the months ahead,
has Boris really changed that much in five days in hospital (getting a level the treatment not many will receive) that people think he’s now “one of us”?!

and this goes for all politicians.

I'm not holding my breath.... because if I lose consciousness I doubt il get a 1;1 ICU admission

 

[Reflected view]

speaking from personal experience, my dad died from Covid19 2 weeks ago. I’d rather him alive now and pay financially for the measures being made currently. ‘Completely over the top’ is an incredibly selfish and short sighted opinion.

I can totally sympathise with you, my uncle lost his fight with covid19 on Thursday morning
