Anyone feel like they're playing in the band as the titanic goes down?

I'm working from home today planning stuff for June but I keep thinking what's the point. I work for a pharmacy chain so I'm lucky I'll still have a job but it just seems such a waste of time

I have to stop myself from thinking about it too much. I feel like there’s a massive blackness looming, creeping in to overpower us that we may or may not come out of. The shops are empty although I managed to place an order at the weekend to be delivered tomorrow- I’m not expecting to get very much of it. The next available delivery date is in April. What will I feed my dcs? My job is secure for now and I can work from home. DH will likely be laid off next week.

Saw a video today of two violinists playing Nearer My God to Thee amis Emory supermarket shelves. They must have seen your post, OP.

*amid empty shelves, that should have said!

@Greendayz yes. I want to be able to swoop my children indoors and protect them and instead I'm sending them off and exposing them and myself to it. I'm not usually anxious but I am feeling it now, I'm becoming exhausted by 'seeing' germs everywhere, especially when it's people who are just choosing to ignore the guidance.

I couldn’t concentrate today either, guess I was the same, mind on other things. Like trying to stay alive.

It was my last day in work for months too. Sad to wfh. Looked round the office as I left and felt like I’d never be back.

I’m not usually maudlin! I just am feeling this whole thing is really real now. I’m locking myself down for 14 days to try and hide from it. Then I’ll need to restock on food. Or possibly just starve to death. Cheery!!

Sorry for the long post....
Absolutely.
Another teacher here. I feel horribly exposed, and am also worrying about my DM who is elderly and has COPD, and dc1 who is in remission from a life threatening autoimmune disease. (They've not long ago been hospitalised for a severe asthma attack which didn't respond to the usual treatments, and had pneumonia at the same time.)
It's very scary.
I'm on antidepressants, but very occasionally have to take something else if I'm feeling very anxious. I requested a repeat of the medication and was surprised to see they've given me more tablets than usual.
I'm guessing I'm far from alone in this.
The only thing I can seem to draw comfort from is that the birds are still singing and we are definitely not the only people to feel like this.
to all of you, and a virtual hug.

Why are U.K. shelves so empty?? Irish shelves are doing very well! We even have toilet paper!! We had a minor blip last week but that’s evened out now!!
