Opinion on covid seems to be very polarised on those who wish to isolate and those who are willing to take their chances. Does anyone else feel a bit "what will be will be"?
Im not personally high risk but I am front line NHS working with infected patients in a clinical capacity. When the outbreak started I read about the poor outcomes for healthcare staff I became very scared. I cried every day on the way to work, I obsessively read the news and I was really frightened for me and my family.
Over the last couple of weeks I've had a complete change - I feel much calmer. I don't feel any less vulnerable but almost like I've accepted I do what I can (wear ppe available at work, minimise any time outside the house outside work) but that I'm not in control and the worst might happen but that is life. This is a pandemic and most of all I feel reassured that society as a whole and most likely my kids with survive and thrive.
I'm not religious. This isn't political. I just feel much calmer and oddly safer. Anyone else the same?
