Speaking as someone who also has asthma and is under 60 - you aren't going to have to worry about getting your vaccination until autumn at the very earliest anyway, which is plenty of time to ensure you are properly registered It is more likely to be this time next year

OwlFancier posted:If the idiots want to euthanize themselves I have no particular quarrel with that. As long as I can get the thing and the infection rate stays low enough not to pose a significant risk to the people I care about then the people too stupid to care can do what they want. Problem is that statistically unless an awful lot of those idiots get jabbed we aren't going to manage herd immunity and the vulnerable will still be at risk Getting vaccinated doesn't give you an impenetrable spell of virus warding (as you no doubt already know)

Borrovan posted:The current evidence is suggesting that the vaccine doesn't actually do much to stop trasmission,* so herd immunity is a looonngg way off I guess the million dollarpound question is if post-vaccination 'asymptomatic' means 'no symptoms' or if it means (as it has thus far) 'no obvious symptoms, but enjoy your brain and heart damage lol'

Anyone able to take a stab (lol) as to when my partner will get her jab? She has rheumatoid arthritis and is on immunosuppressants, but she's only 32. We looking at April or May? I have rear end-marr but I doubt they'll consider it 'serious' so I'm going to be waiting a looong time Funny thing is even with the immunosuppressants her immune system is 10x what mine is, I've never met a bug that hasn't gone to town on me while she rarely gets sick and if so only extremely mildly

Sad Panda posted:To be fair that's not news. Boris announced a while ago that he'd be talking about the path out of lockdown in the week of Feb 22nd. This just repeats that. Schools being aimed at March 8th suggests that's the earliest anything will change. That's still too early of course. And that's reason for me not to be despairing how?

Scikar posted:Can only speak for myself here, but at least for me a large part of the mental strain of lockdown is not the lockdown itself. I know it's for a good reason and I will happily sign up for more if it means saving lives. The stress comes from knowing that all of that collective sacrifice is going to be squandered by this government. They already wasted the first lockdown in the name of making number go up, 100k are dead and they show no sign of breaking the cycle, or even being challenged to do so by current Labour leadership. So no, I'm not going to feel any better if the rules are relaxed and I can exercise properly again, when I know that the process of doing so is going to kill even more in another wave. I'm not going to recover mentally until the pandemic is under control, lockdown or no lockdown. Empty loving quote

Jakabite posted:Oh get hosed you holier than thou prick Ok, forget I empty quoted the 'go away', you can stick around. But it sure sounds like you've given up. EDIT and no, before you say it, I am not a shut in goon who loves to be on his own and likes to kiss being on my own and have babies with being on my own and the babies looked at you. I am desperate to go to a pub, and to see my first ever niece who I have met twice in 14 months and who, when I think about her, makes my heart hurt and so I try not to too often, and visit my friends, and my parents, and my granny except she died the other week, and/or do anything except stare at these same loving walls But I'll sit here forever if it keeps other people safe, end of story, until an actual comprehensive zero covid strategy is in place.

thebardyspoon posted:So I got the job I was panicking about in the January thread. Starting it in a few weeks and am now enjoying that limbo period where you've signed the documents to start a new job and are just waiting to start it. Without the stress of applying for stuff I've been able to actually play and enjoy stuff guilt free. Shame I couldn't go out and get a meal somewhere to celebrate but that's a pretty minor issue. Sounds like classic imposter syndrome to me. I struggle with it really, really badly as well so I can't give you a magic tip to make it go away, but you need to try to remember as best you can that you are you and not someone else, and you can't constantly compare yourself to other people or you'll go mad and/or freeze up and never achieve anything for yourself. They've done a bunch of stuff but that doesn't mean that they're, like, better people than you, y'know? Everyone's moving at their own pace and doing their own thing.

and tbh if you're past thirty and you've not got a history of working out then getting a perfectly flat stomach is going to be pretty difficult anyway. Don't run yourself into the ground chasing it, just get fitter in general and you'll be happier and look better generally

thebardyspoon posted:Oh yeah absolutely, it is definitely imposter syndrome. It's hard to shake that feeling but my logic so far has been they didn't hire me on a whim presumably, they thought about it for a couple of weeks, they feel like I'll fit in and that this opportunity will be the sort of thing that'd make a similarly impressive part of someone's career. Your advice is spot on as well though so cheers. Sure man, glad I could help. There are so many people who only achieve something of note in, like, their 40s or 50s. Late bloomers. There are many, many, many more people who never really achieve much of anything, like Owl pointed out. The point of life isn't really to Achieve Stuff According To Mutually Agreed Standards And On A Mutually Agreed Timeline, it's to be happy however you can (at as little or no expense to other people that you can manage) and make other people happy in turn. Having a steady mind and a sense of peace is the most valuable thing there is, far more so than travelling around the world or whatever. It's loving hard to accomplish, especially for anxious people like yourself or myself, but it's worth focusing on. And as you say, everyone starts somewhere. I have a feeling once you start you're going to relax pretty quickly (probably after an awkward couple of weeks). So long as the job isn't lovely or exploitative and the people aren't dickheads, of course.

Lady Gaza posted:A bunch of people I follow on Twitter are really excited by this loosening of the lockdown, but I’m just feeling a sense of dread. Hopefully I’m wrong and the vaccines solve most of the problem by reducing transmission as well as morbidity and mortality, but I am not counting on it. Not at all, your reaction is perfectly reasonable and understandable.

The government already proved they care more about businesses and their bottom line than about people dying so their analysis is suspect, and the opposition don't know the meaning of the word oppose as apparently that doesn't come under forensic analysis. Yeah this is where I'm at too

ThomasPaine posted:I saw a take on Twitter that seemed quite convincing, that the strategy seems to be 'vaccinate the old and people with underlying health conditions then reopen and go back to de facto herd immunity plan amongst the healthy <50s'. That way excess deaths drop off because the vulnerable aren't being infected, and you can open everything back up on the back of that while declaring everything 'back to normal' while ignoring that your whole working age population is getting sick and potentially developing long-covid symptoms as a result until you muddle through finally getting everyone else jabbed. This is literally what's happening

ThomasPaine posted:I am not criticising, I am just admiring your self-discipline. Honestly, the boredom is crippling in a way I had never expected so me and my partner have been just sitting watching trash and getting blackout drunk a couple times a week. We used to do that occasionally but saved the really heavy drinking for when we went on nights out with friends. And this is an improvement. We had to consciously decide to cut back after the realisation that we'd mananged to get through 15 bottles between us in less than a week over christmas/new year. Lockdown has normalised some pretty unhealthy behaviours that I think will take some time to unlearn! Same. Well, not quite that much, but if I don't get pretty (not blackout, but really sloppy) drunk once a week I start to fray at the edges really, really badly Occasionally twice if I'm feeling particularly fed up and nihilistic, but luckily that's not too often I'm lucky that my partner is totally teetotal because if I had someone to actually drink with I'd be in a similar situation to you Pistol_Pete posted:Red wine gives me really filthy hangovers, so I usually avoid it. Also same. Man I love red wine so much, but I just can't do it anymore. It's like having a normal hangover but with actual all-over body pain, like my nerves go a bit nuts.

ThomasPaine posted:Yeah, Christmas/NY was a car crash. Now that it's getting warmer and lighter again we're getting better at going for long walks and stuff instead of sitting about boozing every other day. I think that's true for a lot of people even in the non-plague times, though, y'know? It's a period where rules kinda go out the window for a bit. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it too much (beyond just being aware of it, which you are). I'm looking forward to the warmer weather but think I'll actually wind up drinking a bit more lol Last year I enjoyed many long days in a meadow nearby lying in the sun, sinking tinnies and listening to the radio

Extremely. I really need to get going on some freelance work but even when I do try it's like ten minutes on four hours off, and the clock is ticking away We're all sat in a pressure cooker, it's always going to be hard to get poo poo done. I also don't really sleep without powerful drugs at this point so that doesn't help Anyway, it sounds like you're being productive still, maybe you just need to prune off some tasks if possible and have less on your plate?
