People walked past the school where I am working yesterday. Started mouthing off about us having too many teachers in (two) to handle the amount of kids (eight) and that we should be on skeletal staff. Wouldn't go away, then told me to come closer to the the gate so they didn't have to shout. I told the other teacher to take the kids away then I told them if they were so worried about the virus, they should gently caress off home.  So that'll be a fun phone call later.

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:I don't even know where to start as it's a rabbit hole to begin with, I've had a history with alcohol and I'm in a much better place these days. I appreciate your concern and I also thank you for the kind words that you have expressed to me these past few days. We don't seem to make a big a deal of isolation/loneliness as we should and I think we have the fear that if we say 'I am lonely', it will be treated the same as saying 'I have a poorly tummy' and so we don't share this problem with others and get support. But the reality is that we are more like those birds that pull their all feathers out if you keep them on their own. If you don't have support at this time, those empty rooms are going to seem really empty and surely one small drink is fine to take the edge off...right? So lean the gently caress into whatever support you have and take it up a notch: if you usually text someone, call them instead. If you usually call them, video-call them instead. And don't be afraid to make the first step - this may be the time when we all realise the importance of others.

Our management is keeping us completely in the dark about what's going on, I've been working from home since last Thursday and we've been getting conflicting reports about if/when we're going to get furloughed, if our depots are staying open or if they're closing. I'm not sure if no one knows what's going on, or if they're just keeping it all secrets for some baffling reason

Quantum of Phallus posted:Prince Charles has the Corona Not only that, but the selfish oval office flew himself (when already infected) and his gang of flunkies, arsewipers, toothpaste-squeezers and assorted hangers-on up to rural Aberdeenshire, where you can bet they haven't been self-isolating, but will have been wandering around the villages like Braemar, Aboyne, Ballater & so on, infecting the locals in an area without the infrastructure to cope.

I don't know you very well but I like you. New poster? Seriously though, this is good advice. I've been in voluntary isolation for the past 2 years because of mental health issues, it would be good if more people thought about everyone lonely.

If self-employed get this 80% of earnings, do we get it regardless, or only if we've stopped making money? I'm still making money but of course the aid would be a massive help if I can get it as well, especially as who knows whats going to be happening in a few months.

How's the market/shopping situation in your part of the town/country? We got another round of groceries and cleaning supplies (including a 16 pack tp) brought in by friends and spent the entire afternoon washing packages with soapy water and cradling the whole chicken like a baby when drying the packaging. All major market online delivery systems are fully booked and afaik there is no way that you can get into "vulnerable list" (my gf has chronic asthma so she mailed Sainsbury's and Tescos for some guidance) if you are not already in it (I imagine even the vulnerable list being full, with all the requests). We haven't been out since, uh, idk, 2 weeks now with one exception for meds from Canary Wharf so I don't know how the actual market situation in London. It feels like the initial panic buying winded down a little bit but some friends posted entirely empty markets from up North and some people in Manchester mentioned not being able to find long-lasting stuff.

Thanks for your sweet words and concern though. My biggest issue at the moment is just trying to get over how impossible and pointless everything feels at the moment. I’ve missed loads of college / uni related emails and havent been doing any work because it just feels like this isnt ever going to end

I'm also well too familiar with that, trust me (long history of anxiety and depression with therapy). I also have missed alot of work related stuff because I'm on a "does it even matter anymore?" which actually jeopardizes my visa status (the extension is tied to the profits) when I apply for an extension. I have found some solace in work and cooking (baking bread, pickling, drying veggies for later use, etc.), which helps with: -Reducing and limiting the amount of time spent reading/listening corona related news and spiraling back. -Bracing for the post-virus times which I assume would be rough job-wise (I'm a freelancer) I do video game hours as reward after completing certain tasks and do some bodyweight exercises to keep active. I mean, not to spin this conversation into self-promotion or anything but maybe you can find something that'll keep you mentally and physically engaged so that it'll distract you from the bad thoughts.

Now it feels like just an expensive prison yard  We are not going out for our government-sanctioned one hour run because at some point we felt like "we're complaining about people being out and we're out as well". Idk, people who has no option other than to go to work and essential employees are fighting a different battle outside so we thought we can be out of the way as much as possible. We're going to have a terrace to terrace socializing with our neighbor tomorrow, though.

Now it feels like just an expensive prison yard I'm still running but population density here is much lower, I'm fortunate to live on the very edge of the city and can get into mostly deserted countryside in minutes on foot. I think I exposed myself(/others) to at MIMIMUM 50 times the risk from a single shopping trip this morning than running every day for the whole lockdown, what with having to touch groceries, trolleys and so on plus just the number of people there and the more enclosed space. I dunno, I might be trying to justify this to myself, but it's still OK on the official advice, I'm super careful with the 6 foot thing and I can't see my immune system appreciating a sedentary lifestyle of the IMMENSE mood crashes I get when I can't run. Stress depresses immune system function a fuckton.

No you're absolutely right, running by yourself in a park is the least exposure intense thing compared to going to a market. Hell, even getting deliveries is worse since you can't know if the packaging is clean or not. Get your outdoors before stricter measures roll in. We were enjoying our daily walks (and I did C25k) but my gf got more and more worried about being outside as she has ashtma so I decided to keep ourselves inside as much as we can. We're luck that we have a small contained garden I can do situps and bodyweight excersizes so I guess it'll be okay.

GP says we have coronavirus but we're still alive so that's good. If anyone is wondering what it feels like for a moderately healthy 34 year old, I could only describe it as Flu's big brother. Also, if you're unlucky enough to contract this loving thing, say goodbye to sleeping throughout the night as you'll be waking up with coughing fits. Also feeling like you've swallowed a bunch of razor blades. Wife's a paramedic for NHS and can't work until completely recovered, but they delivered a little care package which was nice.

Yeah, others are more worried about us than we are ourselves. It sucks rear end but we're getting through it. In honesty, all this time I didn't think it'd get us but welp. The street has just been outside clapping and making noise for the NHS which was really nice for wife. Didn't know anything about it but apparently it was an arranged thing across the country for tonight to show support

Probably learned from bitter experience in the last few days not to provoke people into screaming at him "Step back! Don't infect me! Distance!!!" Or else he has a healthy dose of self-preservation and has seen things, man...
