Take a break from the news
Tbh I’m only really following the Covid threads here, in between running errands for all our elderly neighbours and looking after a three year old.
It’s not so much the fear of the disease that’s spooked me, it’s the breakdown in society when supply chains fail, unprecedented unemployment and an already burdened NHS is taken beyond capacity. I’d love to think we all come together as a society but that’s exactly what we can’t do. Pray for vaccine I guess.

This is what's getting me too. If we're all housebound for literally a year, what's society going to look like at the end of it? Will western governments have passed laws about and got used to telling people where they can and can't be?
It's the timescale of it that's such a headfuck.
(Obviously the personal human cost for a huge proportion of the world goes without saying).
Take a break from the news, I think it tends to build that feeling.
