Do you feel life is on hold?

[ivykaty44]

Are we all just holding back a little bit from job hunting, booking holidays making plans with friends etc?

I feel that I’m just going to work & going home & staying there, haven’t been shopping for 10 days

I’d planned on going to Portugal at the end of this month but had to cancel those plans due to other reason, haven’t booked any holidays for this year or made plans with friends

Anyone actually make future plans?

We're just doing cautious normal, at the moment. Feel no reason not to. The dc have asd and one of them has pretty fragile MH, atm, so calm and normal is the order of the day. Wavering on whether to visit my parents, next month. If our hand hasn't been forced, we'll probably leave it up to them. They're elderly and rural, we live in a city and use public transport a lot.

Yes. I've said a few times this week 'when corono is over we'll...

The optimist in me thinks yes when this is over, but there is a nagging doubt that will it be something that is contained & lived with rather than be over

It genuinely baffles me that people won't go out and enjoy spring. The flowers won't give you corona virus! I was in a cafe full of people this morning and I never even gave it a second thought.

Not really as I’m going the same stuff but I am thinking about what will happen wrt to CV

Doing

Since I posted this morning that there was only one perosn with it in my area in over a week..two more have been confirmed. To be completely honest, I know we are likely to get it, so I'd just rather get it over and done with now. Rather than waiting to get it for ages.

You'll have a much better medical care now that in a few days when the few remaining NHS beds will be completely full. Hospitals are bad enough this time of the year anyway!

I'm just trying to be prepared but carrying on fairly normally. I'm supposed to have some family visiting from other parts of the UK in a few weeks, not sure what will happen before then.
