Coronavirus - are we all doomed? (1 Viewer)

I think many people are struggling with psychological issues relating to staying at home during this outbreak. I have just received a message from a friend of mine who said they are not coping well with being confined to home and it is only day 2 for them. I am used to working from home so perhaps more resilient than those who go into an office every day and are used to the social interaction that it brings.
 
We at least if I have got to be home for 3 months I'll be able to do more work on the project manager and the templates
 
I've work over 20 year without more than a couple of holiday weeks
 
As a retiree, I'm less affected by this "staying at home" issue because I've already broken the habit of going in to work every day. But I understand your friend's position, Jon. I went through that as a new retiree. It was disorienting at first, but I adapted quickly.

My wife, on the other hand, is used to running errands every so often. She is not quite going stir crazy, but SHE has starting taking short-distance walks just to get out of the house. I've offered to help her by accompanying her but she's not ready for my 3 mile walks yet.

The way I am dealing with it is to try to keep to the same routines. Get up at same time, eat at same time, bed at same time.
I also have made a list of little jobs that need doing - nothing major. I work a lot on the garden and Spring is a busy time like planting seeds and nurturing them. Also, things like tidying the garage, sorting stuff, garage door needs painting, metal gates could do with a coat. Then there's housework to do. I like cooking so I cook up meals that can be frozen like cottage pie, chilli etc. I also am doing a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, learning new songs to play on guitar.
Tomorrow (Monday) is clothes washing, clean sheets on bed and hoovering, a little nap after lunch, then do some cooking for my tea time.

NG, I have decided to consider Adam in the same way I try to look at people in general. ........ Each field produces according to its nature. ..... But to totally avoid a poor field wastes the field and gives it no chance to produce value.

I envy your patience. But I have a lot more important things to do with my time.

It was just announced that Japan will prohibit all visitors from US until the end of April.
 
I work at two companies, 21 hours a day.
I don't know what will happen if someday our government tries similar measures against spreading the virus and we have to stay at home.
It would be the worst torture for me.

God has possibly done this to pull them back from their stupidity of seeking so much material knowledge, they're in danger of imploding on themselves. that will happen anyway, eventually, but people need to be pulled back because before this outbreak, they were worrying about literally anything and everything, and none of the worrying made any damn sense or had any merit whatsoever.

You should know that God doesn't visit plagues upon Man any more. In fact, never did... ignorant people just blamed Him for it and then due to fear of that imaginary place of torment, excused the plagues as a form of deserved punishment. But the real explanation is simpler, and we can thank Forrest Gump for this dramatically clear statement on the reason for bad things: S H I T H A P P E N S.
 
In the scene where this comes out, Forrest does indeed say "IT HAPPENS" and one of the reporters covering his running phase asks something to the effect of "Did you mean s**t happens" - which Forrest confirms.

I was referring to the scene where they filmed the bumper sticker on the back of the pickup truck
 
I give up. Totally impossible to keep thread on track. It would be nice if you started a thread where you can squabble like children to your hearts content,whilst grown up people can be sensible and discuss.
