With all due respect that is rather OTT. Of course she must self isolate when told but it’s not exactly apocalypse here in the UK. I still know nobody who has had the virus, the rates of infection are very very low and the mortality rate also very very low. Yes it can kill but lots of things can - including flu.
I’m concerned personally about the costs of lockdown - just look at the low level of cancer referrals for instance.
We are building up a hidden mountain of sadness.

No, I wasn't talking just about just the virus, Pammie. I was talking about everything that's being going on in the world this year. The floods in China, the fires in Ukraine, California and Australia... it's like this year seems to be one thing on top of another. I said the world has changed now. And it has. Looking at everything that's happened this year, it would be easy to think of it as something apocalyptic.
I know you think a lot of this is over the top, and I respect that even if I don't necessarily agree with it. But this year has been something out of the ordinary in terms of world events that put people in harms way. You're taking my post out of context. I put things in different paragraphs for a reason.

What I said, specifically, was
The world has changed now, in many ways for the worse. We just have to hang on, and ride this crazy apocalypse-train to where it ends. 2020 will likely go down in history as the year Mother Nature finally had enough and decided to cleanse herself.
That doesn't mention the virus, and it isn't just about that. Sweetie, stop looking for things that aren't there, okay?

Unfortunately I live in New York City and my Mother died of the virus in New Jersey last March. The real truth about the virus globally has become the fodder of politicians and the media. I have numerous friends in various ER units here who will confirm the danger of the virus while at the same time I have friends in other businesses that don't see the extreme danger of the virus and want to get back to work. I feel the worst of for the parents and their children.
I agree that we need to find acceptable risks in order to function as a society and that difficult decisions will need to be made. I just wish the world had better leaders to make them. In the mean time we all need make our own intelligent decisions. We will get past this.
I am more worried about dying as a man..........
Emma, I am so sorry for your loss. Sincerely. You're right... it's turned into something to be wielded as a weapon and that is the ultimate sadness. You would think that something like this would bring people together, not divide them. What does it take for people to all get on the same page?
Also... you were never a man, sweetie. So stop that!

And you ain't going anywhere, missy. *huggles*
