I feel the same too! I don’t post often but always keep up with the threads. We are in it together!I just want to say I am really grateful to have this page. There are so many wonderful people. I am currently not working, my husband is very busy WFH so sometimes we don't talk much during the day and it can get quite lonely. I feel less alone on here, as cheesy as it sounds
they’re very disturbing.If adverts like this come on I will just mute or switch it over. I really don’t want my children having to see it, it’s hard enough for them as it is. Maybe a picture of himself in ICU is what Boris needs to be showing us.

The Government aren’t worried about the rising cases of anything apart from covidthey’re very disturbing.
apparently we’re not worried about the rising cases of anxiety in adults and children this week
I took my grandsons to Chessington in October for the younger ones 14th birthday treat. For the 1st time since COVID appeared I was frightened for my health. Chessington had taken a booking for a 500 group of Jewish people to celebrate one of their religious holidays. Social distancing went out of the wind that day. Every time I sat down a family would come and sit right next to me. When I mentioned social distancing they looked at me as if I was threatening them. We ended going back to the hotel. I did Compton customer services and they told me there's nothing they could do unless I got their names. They also said they had social distancing marshalls which I did see on my way out. I had checked before I went on how Chessington was handling social distancing and I felt safe enough to go. Unfortunately, I didn't check the Jewish holiday dated. This reads as being against the Jewish religion but it's 100 % not.I wonder why these communities aren’t being called out for their actions more. I’ve seen several stories where other religions have had mass gatherings and they have been photographed shamed etc but why is this hardly publicised when this culture are doing exactly the same thing.
My ITU are struggling more with lack of staff this time (as very few caught covid during the 1st waves) rather than so far being overwhelmed with critically ill patients, though they are increasing daily and the staff that are on shift are exhausted and mentally drainedfully believe the NHS/HSE staff are working themselves to the bone,
but this all feels so forced, everything about it feels forced right now and i do think its having the opposite effect to what it’s designed to do,
There was a similar issue with Hutterite people here early in the pandemic. They would refuse to wear masks, not distance and not really believe in covid. They are deeply religious communities and live in rural areas. It took a lot of education for them to get the seriousness of it. They complained that people were stereotyping them but that wasn't the case.I took my grandsons to Chessington in October for the younger ones 14th birthday treat.

interesting to see it reported last week that there are a lot of staff on leave due to not having childcare, and also being a close contact of a case.My ITU are struggling more with lack of staff this time (as very few caught covid during the 1st waves) rather than so far being overwhelmed with critically ill patients, though they are increasing daily and the staff that are on shift are exhausted and mentally drained
I think they said if you were 60 years old with the old strain you had 10 in 1000 chance of dying. Same person new variant 13 in 1000Did they quantify how much deadlier the new strains appear to be?
Or you could say the opposite they don't have long left compared to us and they are spending their last few years locked inside alone. At least we have everything to look forward toOlder people are lucky in that sense, as they have managed to do so much already. lol.
Dare you to send it to the NEUPerhaps it’s just British children that are spreading the virus...
Children do NOT play a key role in spreading coronavirus
A study from Germany enrolled parents and childrens from families in a trial which ran between April and May 2020 and found children were far less likely to have had the virus than their guardians.www.dailymail.co.uk
