CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

As Covid improves, we get slacker. Last Wednesday I was watching my son’s footy training with another 4 fathers in the vicinity. I was the only one masked notwithstanding the law required masking outdoors, we’d just come out of a lockdown and the signs were there we’d be going back into lockdown. And when we need to lockdown, you can always trust the antilockdown nuffies to spread it around just a little bit more.

People are tired.  Mask wearing was only going to go so far.  I hate them, everyone I know hates them, and I truly believe they are a mild prophylactic anyway and that the benefits of mask wearing is largely based in results in changes to the way people go out.  The majority dont go out because they don't want to wear a mask (whether they agree or disagree with wearing it).  It means people go out when they have to, not when they want.  Thats the benefit of mask wearing. 

Most people don't wear them properly and I've witnessed enough people not wearing them frequently enough for it to be continuing silent spreading.

My mums cousin died on Thursday.  She had made biscuits as is tradition to take to the grieving family and they bought some coffee and a bottle of brandy to take around.  She was on the fence about going so I said to her go around.  You're not going for a fun time, and you're making sure a grieving family know that someone is thinking of them.  Even if you don't go in that's enough.

People are care giving to their loved ones.  Most people need to do this.  We can't just sit around waiting for the end of this and I know first hand of more people to suffer mentally with covid so far than physically.  I do expect that equation to change in time but I think its a bit ridiculous that people can't safely see loved ones in their own houses but somehow can out in public.  That's a load of bullcrap really.

Found out about a healthcare workers partner who committed suicide 5 weeks ago.  This isn't ducks and drakes here.  People are struggling with this stuff.
