I volunteer to speak to 4 elderly ladies on a weekly basis. One llady I called, something did not appear right. I reported to my concact, and they investigated and it turned out she was a victim of domestic abuse. Police were called, and she was removed from the home. Another lady I called, I managed to save her from a financial scam!
Erm JLXey, please donโt do this to me. I have a solution, divorce him. Move in with me. Itโs safe here. I need you strongI have been saying to my husband, I don't want to go on a big holiday until things are completely back to normal, husband last night decided to tell me he just sees a world where mask wearing becomes the norm, we will just get used to it, and there is a possibility it's this way for the rest of our lives.
His argument was if we never get a vaccine and it stays in circulation then they won't be able to repeal things like masks everywhere without public outcey.
Cue total meltdown from me because I just refuse to think it will be this way for the rest of my life. I see some small things staying but wearing a mask in any public space? (Like any time you go to a museum or theme park for the rest of your life!) Never going to a wedding reception or night club? No thank you. I genuinely believe even if we don't get a vaccine, things will at some point have to go back to real life because this is just point blank fucking depressing.
Anyway, his little comments made me a sobbing mess at 12am, so just to say even though I am normally the most rational and fact driven person, I have meltdowns too guys! (Maybe I'm the one who needs the slap today?)
I sympathise with everyone getting frustrated at everyone else. Iโve seen house parties on insta, people going out for meals with friends (like 6+ individuals) and everything.
It is so irritating and I actually think most of it is super young teens to twenties who are so bored of it now. they just donโt get the repercussions. I just know Iโm doing my bit by abiding by the rules as much as I can, and it pisses me off no end that my 2.5y/o son will ask if he can actually go into either a shop, or a house to see Family and crosses his hands to have them anti bacโed!
hang in there guys, as long as weโre doing the best for our own families itโs all we can.
(Also really glad to hear eating out isnโt as awful as it could have been!)

Feeling very sick and sad. Nick Cordero died after 95 days in the ICU with covid. He was 41, had a wife and a 1 yr old son. Broadway actor with no underlaying conditions. He had strokes, holes in his lungs, heart stopped, leg amputated. THrough absolute hell.
If you are going out in public, wear a fucking mask.
And social distance.

My son was referred to dermatology as having some issues with his toes. Recieved a letter this morning saying that unfortunately they're unable to see him due to covid. So we can go to the pub and get pissed but my 13 year old son can't get treatment for a condition that's causing him pain.

I'm quite surprised that the non essential shops that have opened haven't bypassed summer items altogether and gone full on into Christmas mode. I'm surprised that we've not got Christmas music blasting out in all the reopened stores
. That reminds me, where did I put the Christmas tree lights
. It is nearly July

I was in my local Tesco Express yesterday morning and this poor lady collapsed into tears at the till. Her husband had died a few days ago after being on a ventilator for five weeks. Like you say - wear a fucking mask.

Hahaha, thanks flogoff! I will let him know I've got options if he feels like sharing any dystopian pessimistic life views with me againErm JLXey, please donโt do this to me. I have a solution, divorce him. Move in with me. Itโs safe here. I need you strong
Don't worry guys, this morning I am all about the facts again! And they are actually looking good, Bojo even says he doesn't want social distancing til the end of the year even so I'll probs assume he doesn't want me wearing a mask for all eternity (unlike Mr JLXRD who has never actually even worn a mask!)
So how many of you have been at the pub since 6am?

Leicester going back into lockdown needs to be one hell of a wake up call and warning before things get out of control again. Opening the pubs is the worst possible idea right now.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I just donโt get the rush and excitement of getting back out to the pub 
Iโm not a massive pub goer, not at all really which probably explains it
I totally get the kids off to the grandparents. Iโd love a day/night off from constant talking to be honest I think weโd just sit in silence not speaking haha. Just making the most of the quiet!

This is incredibly sad, I know not many will have followed the ROI briefings but he ran the daily briefings for Ireland every day over the last few months.
Itโs awful to think his wife was so unwell during this all,
and he ended up in hospital himself
his kids are only teenagers I think.
