Will you be taking part in the one minute silence at noon?

[en0la]

Ironically I'll be at a funeral but will you be taking part ?

What for?

No

No.

No. It’s not going to help anyone now.

@kowari

What for?

To remember people who have died from covid, it's reported on the bbc.

Probably by default because I've got no one to talk to.

Yes

Yes

Not unless the zoom meeting that I'll be in calls for one.

Yes. For my colleague and my friends husband lost very early on in the pandemic

I will. I'm able to because it's lunchtime and I'll be in staff room and eating my lunch.

But as I work in a school it'll be something I do personally if I can.

The loss has been horrific

Yes I will.

Nope

@Doidontimmm

No. It’s not going to help anyone now.

Curious whether you do a minutes silence for remembrance Sunday?

I was going to ask what for too

I will if I rember, good idea

thanks for reminding people,myself included.

Yes, will try not to forget.💐

I'm at work today so maybe not at 12pm but I will definitely take a minute when I can to reflect.
I just said to my children that it's one year since our first day of home learning. It feels like only last week and simultaneously like a lifetime ago.

I will unless I'm on a call at work.

I think it's expected at work regardless of personal feelings. If I wasn't at work, I would most likely miss it through forgetting anyway.

Yes to remember two family members who died.

No.

No. Utterly pointless.

I will be at work. So probably expected to.

I may do but these silences make me uneasy. I worry they give the impression that whatever tragic event we’re holding a silence for won’t happen again. I feel it would be better to wait until we’re out of the woods before we pause to reflect.

I will definitely NOT be standing on my doorstep tonight with a candle tonight though. I expect our neighbourhood Clap For Carers will be out as usual policing who is and isn’t on their doorstep.

I think I will spend today getting on with whatever I need to do and quietly reflecting that we’re still in the shit a whole year on and that we have suffered astronomical losses.

Yes.
Was at my friends funeral yesterday and another one from work had a funeral last week.
Both healthy 54 year olds.
Someone used the word sobering. That's exactly how to describe it.
