What's been going on?
Lock down that’s why
I think also Mercury being in Pisces closing in on Neptune this past week would also have had a detrimental effect. I want Mercury out of Pisces and this approaching full moon to get out of the way.
You must be right, look what Opal just wrote!!!!!!
It's not just the lock-down!
This stuff could kill you. Sometimes quickly. Even young people are dying from it, notably people with asthma. Older people seem to be especially vulnerable. This means potentially losing beloved parents and grandparents, especially if they have asthma, COPD, emphysema, bronchial or heart conditions.
Many people have lost their jobs or had their hours cut back, yet they still have bills to pay. Small businesses have had to shut down and may not re-open. Suppose a single parent gets sick: s/he may not have a back-up child care provider.
I'm amazed that people are coping as well as they are.
I agree. That’s why I said ppl are dying etc. It’s awful. And we all know someone who has died with it unfortunately
I just hope we all stay strong.
What is the premise of this thread even.
That you’re not pissy, OP —
Yet, though being cool and even minded, you can’t spare the empathy to understand why others are?
I've read the book and watched the movie. It remains my favourite book of all time to this day. Now I see so many parallels. People in the book suffering "amnesia"; they don't remember past news that contradicts current news and even if you point it out to them their eyes glaze over and they don't really say anything and then forget you pointed it out. Also the character Syme, very smart, but his intelligence being taken advantage of to do the government's bidding. There are many Symes in our society too. They do the bidding of the elite without even realising that their skills and discoveries (Silicon Valley, anyone?) are going to be used against the whole population eventually (and already are), and just like Syme was vaporised because he was too smart, these smart people will also be the first to go once things are established. Not to mention constant surveillance, crimethink etc etc.
I’ve lost my job and not getting the 80% corona pay scheme thing, either is my manager because she handed in her 5 week notice just before the lockdown because she got offered a new job, and she worked for the company over 5 years. The company is going Ito administration so I won’t have a job to go back to anyway. Dunno when I’ll get another job because of the recession and the amount of competition when lockdown is over.
I don't know anyone that has died from Covid 19.
I don't know anyone that has had, or has Covid 19.
I only know one person that knows anyone that had it, and they recovered.
