I said exactly the same when we delayed lockdown whilst sorting out financial matters for those who would need help. It is a double edged sword.

Was reading earlier that people suffering issues mentally is up to nearly 50%. More severe issues is about at 20%. And we prepared better than most before 'lockdown' which has also been much less severe.

Deffo mate, if we had known we were in for such a long and hard lockdown then people could have tried to get some money and food together before hand.
As it was we were told a few days before that we would lockdown and then they brought it forward 24 hours with a couple of hours notice to stop people from moving to other areas.

It’s like that scene from the office though where David Brent is being promoted at the expense of everyone else being made redundant and he can’t understand why they’re not happy for him.
It’s crass to suggest that it’s “good news” considering the backdrop.

No one is saying that it's good news that people are dying.

Using the latest excess death data to model through to the current date it has us unfortunately going past. Hopefully this will turn out to be wrong but so far every time the ONS has released data the figure has been updated to a higher number as they are trying to keep the modelled numbers as low as possible to avoid accusations of scaremongering.

I have him on ignore most of the time. He’s a grade A arsehole who’d toss himself off if the death rate went up as long as he got some likes on here

Saw myself how quickly it happened elsewhere. My sister has a pub in France. She found out she had to close the night before. A customer came in and told her it had been announced.

Too many people ignore the mental health issues that have been caused by the virus. Too many people are starting to think death is the easy way out. They had nothing before the outbreak and have even less now.

i knew one of them, she hung herself.
Not even sure it was about having nothing as she was not working (i think she had a UK pension). In her case i think it was the isolation as i think she lived by herself (i heard all 5 did).
One worked in a restaurant and slit his throat don't know about the others.
The mental side is not just money for some, it's 6-7 weeks without speaking to or even seeing anyone and getting no info about when it will end. It's only yesterday that we have been allowed to leave our (in most cases out here, tiny apartments).

You know that isn't what he meant. Dom talks some bollocks and his love in with Johnson is fucking cringeworthy. But he obviously doesn't think it's good people are dying.

Really sorry to hear this mate. I was pissed off that my Tenerife holiday had been cancelled. Everything that's happened since, has made me realise that I'm fucking lucky, and it could be far worse.
All the best to you Pipkin.

I live by myself but have spent most of the time at work. My job is keeping our plant running so work by myself most of the time. But at least I get to go out most days and talk to wife and kids every day. And we are allowed out. That makes a massive difference.

He probably should have avoided the words good news then. Improving picture wouldn’t have been crass for instance. While people are dying needlessly the phrase good news is a very poor choice of words especially when used in the context of trying belittle the well deserved criticism of our failing government.

It was a gallows humour response to a crass statement. You said that’s OK. Maybe I should agree with you more often and pretend I’m better than everyone else so I can promote children drowning at sea and you not to consider it crass.

Dark humour. Making a joke out of something that normally isn't laughed about.

Depends on the context Dom. You were deliberately using the phrase good news to dilute the well earned criticism of the government as if the criticism wasn’t warranted. It’s you that deliberately put it together in a post to have a go at people who criticise the government. If you had have just said good news that the numbers have dropped again I probably wouldn’t have even battered an eyelid. I’ve even given you a like in the past when you’ve done just that. It’s the fact that you’ve chosen to politicise it that makes it crass. I’m not the only one who’s pointed it out either.

You allowed to go far? Suppose just a walk will be great.

My wife will be able to go as far as 100km next week. And she will be able to take the kids with her. They have been nowhere since the second week of March. And won't be going to school until September. Wife says the school places should be for those whose parents are working. At least the weather is good most of the time.
