Anyone else becoming irritated by STAY HOME

[Lemons1571]

It’s starting to do my head in. We are all At Home. Haven’t left since Sunday. Apart from DH who is a keyworker so no choice. Haven’t even ventured near the mud sodden garden. How much more can we STAY HOME? Are we doing it wrong? Perhaps I should shriek any time someone goes within a foot of the front door. And putting the bin out - forget it!

Yet the media still keep on, Stay Home Stay Home Stay Home, accompanied by endless clips of makeshift ITU’s in children’s wards. Wtf do they want? Us all to lock ourselves in the under stairs cupboard?

Am beginning to think if the messaging carries on like this, everyone will reach fatigue point and switch off from it all. Ok I know I’m being a mardy cow and unreasonable, but does anyone else feel like this?

If the government gave a shit about saving the nhs, perhaps they should have funded it properly in the first place.

Have you noticed we're being told what to eat now as well! Not only do we have the Stay Home message we now have a government/NHS advert telling us to remember to eat healthily too. Wonder when eating a bacon sandwich will become a fineable offence

I agree OP. There’s no point the gov cracking down hard now and expecting the damage they did by allowing the events in December to be undone in a couple of weeks.

Borris made his poor choices and now he will have to wait it out.

You are taking the announcements too personally. Step away from social media or wherever you are seeing this.

Its on the telly

Its on the daily briefings

Its in the newspapers

The only social media i do is mumsnet

I felt like this in the April lockdown, I was trying to avoid the news as it was all getting on top of me and was stressing me out more.

It was like they were following me around. I stopped watching the news or reading it, cancelled news apps and Facebook, stopped listening to news radio stations and other similar things.

But when I switched to more music based news stations and non news tv, even the adverts were preachy (the government and non government ones). The worst was when I got a text from the government telling me to stay in! It was everywhere!

I was working on the wards at the time and I couldn’t listen to how bad it was as I couldn’t stay at home and it was too stressful!

It’s not as bad for me luckily this time!

@Watermelon999 that is terrible. We need to change our attitude and stump up more cash. We are paying for it now. I would now be in favour of a more sustainable funding model. We probably need some type of insurance. I am think German style not US.

@hamstersarse

We have over 90% compliance. It is unnecessary, patronising and frankly beyond irritating.

But it seems we are a nation of infants and apparently we all need the constant firm hand from Daddy Government

90% compliance just means 10% of the population are incapable of Following simple instructions so you must see that they have a point.

It irritates me that it should be ‘Stay AT home’, rather than Stay Home.
