My week at work (of which I'm very grateful to have a job) has been stressful in the sense I'm somewhat paranoid about inadvertenly infecting my usually elderly, fragile at-risk "clients". We currently have 2 such patients with Covid-19, one is 83 and doing just fine, the other is 94 with blood cancer and I am more than little worried for him, even if he admits having had a "good innings". It is very weird not shaking hands with anyone, guarding distances, and eating 2 at a table, seating diagonally opposite each other. There are currently 11 patients or so in ICU at my workplace with Covid and, for those who think it is only a disease affecting the frail and elderly, I can tell you that is not always the case (2 patients born in the 1970s). I will be glad when this era is behind us! Bon weekend à tous et à toutes, stay well!

Death numbers continue to be very high which makes logical sense but, in another week, they might start to see those reduce significantly, I hope.

Having some problems sleeping at the minute, but I hope that starting some breath exercises will help on that end. Live with my folks, so if I could somehow convince my mam to stop going to Aldi every other day for bread then I'd be at ease. The shop has implemented good physical distancing measures, but I still think she's taking an unnecessary risk.

I wouldn't be the most patient of teachers but we got through it. Just back from walking the dog and to be honest I needed to get out for a break. Regarding sleep, well if you have kids you'll be asleep before you get into the bed!! My own mother is the same as yours Clegg. Can't sit in the house at all. Out every day to the supermarket. No reason to be out but won't stay in the f*cking house. As regards your own mental health I can only say take one day at a time. Each day is one closer to the end game. You're still posting here so keep going!!

Clegg wrote: » I'll certainly try. Was feeling well enough go browse the main covid thread. It's still a mess of people doubting the numbers and trying to scare others. Going to have to cut that out of my browsing habits entirely.

The glass is broken, never mind half empty. Low numbers are bad news. High numbers are bad news. Everything is bad news. Why are people even allowed outside? Irish people are too stupid to lockdown. Why didn't we just completely close the entire country down in February? I saw my neighbour go for a walk, we're doomed. Mute the topic on twitter too.

Govt guidelines are fairly straightforward and im abiding by them even tho im itching to get back to the phoenix park for a long run i am staying local. Trying to shop in my local shop as opposed to the big stores for as .much as i can as the owners have been brilliant for their older customers arranging milk cereal and bread deliveries etc.
