Aside from people dying (obviously), what is getting to you the most?

The best part for me is not working

At the moment shelves being empty worries me the most

In a couple of weeks the worst part will be no friends/family as my baby will be born

Outdoor visits/ activities. I am easily bored.

Although it’s not fun being able to see friends or family I have bee FaceTiming/group calling most and so it hasn’t impacted me yet

You shouldn't be seeing anyone outside your house now anyway that's the whole point of lockdown.


Also shelves are now fully stocked

You must live around the chavvy areas because the supermarkets by me are only allowing 10 sets of customers in at a time and limits what they can buy ²

... They do exactly the same thing here and in all of the stores

Why would it be a 'chavvy' area bc the stock runs out :joker:

Bloody hell get a grip

caprimint

Actually it probably means your area is chavvy because nobody can afford more than one item at a time there :idc:

Because it's the chavs and the middle age mums who never had jobs that cleared the shelves

My area is a very nice and respectful area actually just like the whole of the West Midlands bar scammy Dudley

I never said my area wasn't stocked.

Nice to see the snobbery coming out of you though.

You will understand when you been to Dudley of why it's the worst place in the Midlands

I didn't know "middle aged mums" were a "chav" thing?

Do posh people not age or procreate?

Honestly, not working.

I see my mum everyday, i can talk to my friends anytime, i'm fine with going on 1 walk a day and i don't really visit pubs.

Marsh.

Maybe you should learn to be as respectful as the place you apparently live and not come out with classist rubbish based on ONE comment about shelves being empty in ONE store.

Probably the lack of compassion. It's thankfully been outbalanced by people generally being good and kind and cooperative but it highlights the ignorant, the idiotic and the malicious.

That and the financial worry.

But I see this is a silly poll so "no Eastenders loL!!" or something

As horrendous as it all is and I wish we werent going through it for all the bad side of it there has come to be a lot of good

Less Pollution
Some people being a lot kinder
Lots of absolute heroes etc NHS being given the credit they deserve
People getting to spend time with their families rather than work etc

Not being able to see my kids and their hugs.
Not quite the same as seeing them through the screen.

Loads if things are bad....being cooped up, lack of routine, worrying about my dad on his own and how he's coping, financial worries etc etc

Also a worry is literally becoming a slob....I worked till lunchtime yesterday in my PJs, quick shower then continued working in lounge wear and my hair hasn't seen a straightener in days :laugh:

Also worrying about becoming borderline alcoholic after a day trying to get my 9 year old to do the school work he's been set.

Worst thing for me is the greed it has created and the amount of people who think they know better on how to solve it than any expert..

Selfish entitled twonks ruining shopping , they are trying to go against the rules and have been moaning about the limited items.

Supermarkets have had to block entrances, so that only 1 entrance is in use , to stop brainless idiots trying to bypass the system :facepalm: .

The food is there , you can always go back another day. Why do these people think they're owed trolly loads at once :bored: . We all have to follow the same instructions .

I read somewhere that primary schools weren’t expected to set work for their pupils ?!?!

We live in Gtr Manchester - extremely high infection rate but this evening there are TWO house parties in our quiet little cul de sac .. a group of 16 /17 year olds and two doors down a group of mid twenties.

They should all know better but they just don’t care .. it’s annoying / frustrating/ sad in equal measures. :(

Not seeing family.

My Great Aunt is in a care home and hasn’t had a single visitor since March. I myself haven’t seen her since February and the way this is going, it’ll be next year until we get to see her again. She turned 92 in May and time’s precious as it is without this. I’ve seen her almost every day of my life until the start of the pandemic, then nothing.

We’re not even allowed on the grounds to talk through the window or anything (for many reasons which are fair).

My other Great Aunt (above’s sister) we can’t visit because she has a lung condition and is high risk. She’s turning 80 on Friday and have to stay outside when I visit with presents/cards but they’ve forecast this storm for the whole of next week so it looks like it will be a very brief visit - last time I saw her was June.

...yeah this most definitely../..family...I haven’t seen my son since last Christmas but more importantly, he hasn’t seen his family because he’s the one separated and it’s now having a huge impact on him, we all have each other..sometimes I feel so sad that I think that I’ll never see him again and then, what would be the point in anything...and then, keeping him going emotionally and trying to show positivity when you’re sinking inside...my niece in France has had to postpone her wedding family/friends etc celebration twice...another niece and her partner had their child born at 24 weeks and the child eventually didn’t survive...and none of us can be with them through this awful thing and weren’t able to attend the funeral...Miss Corona is just so filled with cruelty...

For my part the worst thing is working in a high school knowing that at some stage there’s a decent chance I’ll catch the virus and then it’s pot luck how things will go for me ... then factor in the little matter that it’s the young folk I’m working to help / educate who are basically spreading the virus around our communities by , generally speaking here as there are many marvellous young people , but so many others are simply not acting responsibly .

There were another two ‘get togethers’ last night in our usually quiet little cul de sac. One was under 18’s ( dancing / flashing lights till the small hours ) the other were mid twenty year olds who were happy just drinking and smoking ..


Again , generally speaking , they don’t wear masks in shops or stores unless it’s somewhere like Tesco who are spot on with enforcing the rule ... Home Bargains don’t give a damn about the rule.

We’re in the one of THE worst parts of the UK as well .

none of the above for me

- never see anyone outdoors

- we keep everything resupplied online shopping the toilet rolls, shower stuff like shampoo's, shower gels, soap

- haven't got any friends in real life lol

- never go to pubs, bars my entire life so far

- kinda relieved now i do not work at that farm anymore, would've been one huge mess if corona had been here few years earlier, at that farm they literally do not watch news, do not wash their hands properly, they do not social distance at all lmao, and they get like hundreds of visitors each week
