But that’s still great to wash your hands! It’s people who do neither that still spread it! Think of the number of “kissing gates” people walk through on country walks and how many other people touch them without sanitising before or after?
I was generalising which I know is bad. I know kids aren’t thick but some kids are and some kids don’t fully understand that death is forever if they have no experience of it themselves (loss of a grandparent or pet)
I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing at this. I was thinking of a young child not an almost 18 year old
Whitty gives facts nothing more Boris tries to cushion the blow.People have different preferences as to how they hear things. Whitty is straight forward and to the point, no fluff. Other people prefer a bit of cushioning. Depends.
She really should have isolated after the mum tested positive on the Tuesday! Silly girl!I'm off for a Covid test at 6. Currently in isolation for the second fecking time and I've woke up with no sense of smell or taste and a temperature.
Absolutely bleeping raging (excuse my language) girl at work has new boyfriend, been seeing him since Nov last year. Been staying at his house with his parents. She lives with her parents and brother.
His mom works in a care home. She stayed there last Monday to Thursday night. Came into work for all 4 of those days. Her boyfriends mom works in a care home. She tested positive Tuesday, her boyfriend tested positive Wednesday, she tested Thursday, was positive then she went back to her own home.
Why are people just utter bleeping selfish wankbags?!?!
And breathe..... I've cried and lost it today, I can't do it anymore
gosh I’ve upset the Whitty worshippers AGAIN, when will I learn
waiting for the Downing Street crew to come for me...
Sorry to hear about your mumI was generalising which I know is bad. I know kids aren’t thick but some kids are and some kids don’t fully understand that death is forever if they have no experience of it themselves (loss of a grandparent or pet)
Unfortunately I do think of death a lot because I lost my mum when I was fairly young, she was in her 50s! Sadly lots of people have experienced too much death and so we do think about it....if someone is fortunate enough not to have experienced this then no they probably won’t think about death as often.
Edited to add some adults are thick too!
I didn't experience any loss at all until I was 14 when my auntie died. I had both sets of grandparents until I was 16. That said I knew about it as a kid, I just never thought about it much cause it didn't apply to my life but you still hear it from parents talking or when they go to a funeral (although I was a big reader and there's a lot of death in Jaqueline Wilson books so maybe that's why as well!).Bet you wish you'd not said anything nowgosh I’ve upset the Whitty worshippers AGAIN, when will I learn

ah so it's Disney affecting the kids' views on death, not video gamesI asked my son what happens when you die, just out of curiosity. He said “your body stops working and your soul goes to the great beyond.”
Can you tell we’ve been watching Pixar’s Soul?
Thank youSorry to hear about your mum
I’m sorry to hear about your Auntie too. I think most kids only know about death from grandparents and pets which can be expected but when it’s someone younger you’ve lost, it does shape you somewhat. Losing my mum at a relatively young age makes me determined to be so cautious about Covid so my son doesn’t have to go through the same at an even younger age.Ive always wiped shopping down, wiped door handles etc and wipe my phone down everytime I get back home. I usually wipe remotes, tablets etc every other day.
Good hand hygiene! As you say if it puts you at ease, that’s great!
I can't wash my shopping. It would trigger my ocd. I cleaned everything during the first lockdown when I was ill, it took my 3 hours plus to put away a weekly shop and I cried when I had to do it as everything had to be thoroughly cleaned. Post had to be put to one side for three days then everything cleaned throughly before anyone could even touch it. I got really upset if anything was missed and feel like the whole house was contaninated. These days we just clean our hands after handling stuff but I have to watch myself with that. I'm exhausted just thinking how it used to be. It's really hard to remain well when everything is about reducing contamination.
