girlofpreyA month ago my main concern was getting pigeon shit in my mouth or eye from the bridges I walk under to go to work. Now I've just spent most of the day panicking that I might have killed my mother because I ate some chocolate on the train without washing or sanitising my hands first. I am looking forward to my mental health appointment tomorrow. Assuming it doesn't get cancelled.
Also I have to keep having conversations with my colleagues like 1) the cleaning manager woman thinking the virus is germicide, and China and America spread it deliberately, 2) P (a facilities dude) saying he'd read that the symptoms of the virus are really similar to the symptoms you get from being near a 5G mast, so people think it's maybe a cover-up, and 3) my manager telling me he was sick of all this virus stuff, because now they were going to close the schools, and the kids were giving each other coronavirus which was fine, the only problem was that they might give it to a 20 year-old footballer (?) with leukemia, and then he'd just 'die a bit faster' than he would just from leukemia. And two of those people saying that they believe everything happens for a reason and everyone has a destiny so we shouldn't do anything about this virus because you should just let people die when they die. And I'm like yes, I'll remember that if there's ever an accident here and someone gets a deep cut and wants to put a bandage on it. I'll be like "no no...let nature take its course". It's bizarre and I don't know how to talk to them. I'm glad I get to stay home soon.
My mum is not self-isolating. She's going shopping and getting her nails done. And she wants the kids to come over and see her soon. But she is only just in her 70s and fairly healthy, so I guess whatever. She also has to go into work, because NHS work is Essential.
