Coronavirus - Remain Calm. Do Not Panic

I agree that people need enjoyment in their lives, but at what cost? That's what needs to be constantly assessed and reassessed. Those governments who handled it better and gave clear guidance, as well as quicker and sharper lockdowns are further along regarding entertainment. Ireland and Britain are not. The natural response would be to irate at those governments for mishandling the situation,  but instead people want to pretend that the virus has gone away because it suits those people.

I think this is an incredibly selfish attitude, one of putting one's own individual wants ahead of societal needs. It is a fairly depressing indictment of modern society.

The Fat Emporer seems to be advocating a ketogenic diet to treat cancer.

Is that what yer man Steve Jobs did? Went on some crackpot diet.  He killed himself.

 

The vast majority of people I know work to live and not the other way around. I'm lucky in that I've been back in the office since April but loads of people are working from home and then have no social release. IMO the restrictions themselves aren't the problem, it's the not knowing how long they will go on is the issue. No pubs, no holidays, nothing to look forward too is what is getting to people. Selfish yes as people have died but people need something to look forward to. 

This. Ngl, but it is getting to me now at this stage. I'm also WFH since mid-May and miss the craic in the office. Its got to the stage where I have basically written off the rest of the year and just wishing it away with nothing to look forward to and I'm sure I'm not the only one. 

I would hate if this was to drag on well into next year. 

And if you don't work to live you are either doing it wrong or making a massive sacrifice for the progress of humanity!

I'm not saying that this ideal, but it's the definition of First World problems. I'm not going to pretend I don't miss gigs or live football and I'm not going to pretend I am not comparatively lucky in that I am working less hours for roughly the same money and it hasn't impacted my basic needs and requirements. 

However,  it feels like those with least to complain about are complaining most. Not being able to go abroad or go to the football is frustrating, not life threatening!

I get the frustration,  but people aren't half playing it up! The same ****s here who bang on about the Blitz and Dunkirk are the same ones who can't survive a year without a trip to Benidorm.
