My outlet was work, is a bit odd considering it's in a hospital, but I could chat with my friends there, I was doing my bit getting through the days, enjoying days off at home. My dh and dc were safe at home.
But now its relentless, we're bringing more services back but with strict social distancing so the waiting lists are getting longer and longer as less people attend at a time.
On Monday we start being temperature checked and wearing a mask the whole time we are in the building, due to the recent knee jerk government announcement, talk about shutting the stable door after the horse bolted! At the height of the crisis, I could have unknowingly been spreading covid everywhere and no checks were done. We only had antibody tests last week, many colleagues tested positive for having had the virus but they hadnt had symptoms, how many people di they infect!?!.
I hate the masks, I can't breathe properly, I can't communicate properly, I can't hear properly, my whole career I've been told those paper surgical masks are next useless after 15 mins, we are to wear the same one all day. Didnt the government think of the costs before dictating that everyone wears one on entering the building?
There are only about 10 people in my hospital ill with the virus now. PP are right that existing is not better than living. I'm worried about the economy and education system too. I dont want my kids goi g to school in the circumstances in which they do now, that's no way for kids to learn. I dont want people to lose their jobs and more strain going on the public sector. As for the mental health of the nation and the education of our young people I dont know what's going to happen...
The thought of how we are going to get through the next few mo ths is so depressing, many of us are feeling it now and morale is not good in the hospital. No one will think of the pressure we are under now. I was never a one for the clapping but just because its stopped doesn't mean the hospitals are working normally. Patients are frustrated quite rightly about the delays in their treatments, tempers and patience are and will continue to fray. I dont want to carry on with my work at the moment and yet I always loved my job 
even in rough patches there was always home to go to people to meet up with, days out and spontaneous meals out, holidays to look forward to, we can't even make plans at the moment and my house is a building site as we started stripping plaster off walls before lockdown started and no idea when it will get done now....
