Yes and they're talking about suspending community mental health and addiction services as part of "slowing the spread". An absolute disaster waiting to happen for hundreds of thousands of people.
They're talking about giving methodone patients a week's supply at a time to take home (instead of daily supervised) ffs. You might as well shoot them on the spot. |

If they start handing out week long supplies, there are going to be deaths of all kinds. Suicide by OD, accidental OD because they don't realise how dangerous it is, accidental OD because they just plain forgot that they've already had their daily dose... Not to mention, deaths aside, OD's will put yet more strain on health services. Its just a flat-out dumb decision. MH and addiction services should be left functioning. |

Junkies can get years of help and support and drugs and yet they won’t pay for cancer drugs to prolong a persons life. Junkies are the living dead, very few ever get clean. |

Also when on a big of a binge a while back, she was swapping her methadone for other drugs..which I would expect is quite common, especially if theres a few people who get it as a 6 bottle a month drop off!

I was thinking about this earlier actually. .but from a different train of thought.
I was thinking it may have some positive effects...and they may be that it eradicates mental health issues once you have it and get rid of it. |

Well this is the thing, people with OCD already take precautions regarding hygiene & sanitation. But obviously it's to the extreme as they never stop cleaning/ Washing & it affects them psychologically .
So this coronavirus virus outbreak must be driving them mad |

No...again.
Im saying what went through my head earlier..it was a wishful thought, and one I hoped to be more truer than the actual outcome of all this. |

... because of the nature of media and how saturating it is, especially atm ...it’s heartbreaking to see the levels of anxiety in any child who suffers with ‘obsessions’....

One my daughter came home with was that "the whole local high school has it because a group went to China". Another was her being convinced she would catch it if she touched our toilet seat (at home, that no one else has used) because that's how you catch it. "Touching toilet seats then touching your face". |

Whenever you get raised anxiety levels and paranoia from a crisis, more people end up dying from that, than the crisis itself, so it should be a big focus. Unfortunately, calming anxiety doesn't sell newspapers

Urban myths going arund the teeage schools. My stepdaughter is conviced her headteacher tested positive months back but kept coming in, was told to close school but refused, etc. This being, even though the first confirmed case in our area not being til last week..
Skye usually worries like hell, but shes just reminding everyone to wash their hands constantly, which has been useful tbh with the others..she won't let anyone eat til they have washed hands and that Been trying to drum that into older ones for14 years nw, so glad something goods came from the panic. James came in the other day telling me about a 'killer flu' thats not making kids poorly but might kill really old people like mammy and daddy. Which was..nice.

POW! BLAM!

tbh this is a "side issue" which should be given more consideration. My mental health has been especially crappy lately. I'm not actively thinking "ohh I'm scared of catching the Kung Flu" but it could be on my subconscious
