We are living the same situation - this is why we go into healthcare, to be prepared in times of crisis to serve public health. There's never been a more urgent time to step up & meet the challenge in front of us, even with all the uncertainty

I know. That is reassuring to be honest.
As I've mentioned earlier in thread. I won't be seeing my mum and dad for months now and neither will my kids.
It's just not worth the risk of me or the kids somehow passing it onto them.

Alison Rudd banging in this morning about people with zero hours contacts who work in football. They should get paid, she said, or at least have it explained how long they will be not earning so they “know how far they have to dip into their savings accounts”. A slightly different world inhabited by the horned one, than the vast majority of people in the gig economy.

Knowing there's many front line workers potentially (definitely) coming into contact with COVID victims, is this part of the 'herd immunity' strategy the gov is thinking of?
Cos common sense says if a front line worker has to be exposed to it, they must go home and self isolate, leaving the vulnerable patients with less front line health workers to look after them...

I can barely even sleep. At times I just can’t believe this is happening, like it has to be a nightmare. It will be a long time before life is normal again.

There is a very eerie feel to everything. Not looking forward to work but got to crack on and risk the exposure to it all. All leave cancelled and talk of extending shifts to 12 hours to provide cover if staff levels drop. Everything is edgy and nervy, ive not known anything like it. Scary times ahead

You work in a hospital mate?
Mrs said exactly the same thing to me.
Know exactly how you feel. I’m run down at the moment but a lot of that is poor sleep - and that in turn is down to this bag of worry on top of everything else.
I feel a bit achy (muscles), nauseous and stomach pains but asthma cough aside no matching symptoms. Went for a run earlier but running past people breathing out (and I’m obviously breathing fairly heavier too) I’m not sure it’s any ‘safer’ than the gym.
I had to go the gym in the end as my daughter (who is ASD/Asperger’s) would have had a meltdown if we didn’t go. She’s slowly coming off sertraline but if her gym stops she’ll increase her dose again. Have explained that may it’s likely it will close soon.
one mighty fuck up this and they should be talking about how to prevent this happening again (potentially more fatal). Needs a seismic change in habits (perhaps simplifying things a little).

chill out fella, honestly. The gravity of this situation is not lost on anyone, but histrionics aren't going to help other vulnerable people on here. If you need to talk to people then great, we're all here, but this constant doomsday desperation just isn't helping anyone.

I can’t chill out. I’m not wired to be easily chilled, wish I was it would have saved me an awful lot of suffering over the years. I agree with you though, except for the point about the gravity of the situation not being lost on anyone... 1 out of 4 people are not changing their behaviour in any way whatsoever. It’s evidently lost on a large number of people.

I know, I didn't mean it in a "you'll be fine" kind of way, I think we all need to just be a little more circumspect if we can be, at least on this thread, and try and use it as a support network for each other, particularly as going forward most of us may be ill, some of us very, and many of us may end up alone for extended period of times.
I can't account for stupid people, all we can do is rally round as many sensible people as possible and support each other to do the sensible things and help people in doubt make the best decision they can in extremely tough situations. We need to look after our own, the best we can.
