I’m the sort of person who likes to know what I’m dealing with. I always thought that we would be living with Covid-19 for a long time but initially thought we might be out of the woods by the spring. No-one can see into the future, least of all me, but today it hit me that even next 2021 is likely to be a right off. Even if a vaccination is found, it is going to take several months to roll it out to the population so we could be into 2022 before this turns around.
My mental health is taking a hit and in a lot of ways I wish there would be an end to the “It will only be 2 weeks” and “It’ll be over by the Christmas” and “By the spring we'll hopefully have a vaccination.” I ‘get’ that no-one has a crystal ball and can really say how this will pan out but I wish we could be hit with not the best or worst scenario but the realistic one. I don’t really know what I’m getting at. Just tired of all this. Does anybody else feel that the only way to cope with this is to live life on a day by day, week by week basis? Not to plan too much into the future? I’m the sort of person that is always planning, what I’m doing next month, in six months, next year and I can’t do this anymore. This pandemic has brought it home to me how little control we have over many things in our lives. What things are you doing to make the lack of certainty more bearable?
