CV and mad panic behaviour

[shawny]

Pls don't tell me you're implying the friends and family of the 800 who died from Covid suffered no negative mental health effects.

Of course I'm not but im also not agreeing that COVID deaths or illnesses in this country are a big cause to MH issues.  Anyhow each to their own on that point as its impossible to factual about it.

My point in my original post was meant to be directed to the issues or by product of how Covid is dealt with and that IMO restrictions would be much better handled if they were directed at the sick and the elderly who are the main group at danger here instead of a blanket restriction which is having a much bigger effect on the young then the risks this particular virus itself has on those in the other group.

The effect on our youth is profound with the way this is being handled and frustratingly its generally glossed over. As I said all the media talk is over dramatized, all negative, scary and bloody depressing for those who don't battle MH yet there is no stopping or pulling back by anyone regardless of how the pandemic is tracking at a particular time. Even when we seem to get on top of an outbreak instead of maybe talking about something else they will find a 'possible exposure site' to spread fear and make those thinking we can get on with a normal life back to worrying again.

Its way over the top and can be reduced or balanced without it affecting the Covid plan but may very well help those young in our community that are really doing it tough.

Im not going to go into details as its too personal but i can assure you i am speaking from personal experience with this one.
