I'm hoping theres a lot who don't comment and are just quietly getting on with it trying to do the right thing and look after people around them.

If you wanted to get herd immunity in a big load of soap dodgers, halls of residence in freshers week would be a great choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted September 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2020 There is an element of going stir crazy, when presented with a further 6 months lockdown on top of local issues. Luckily, I've got space in the house and garden and a cracking view of the hills and golf course. Must be fucking awful living in a flat, in shared accom or with someone who is a cunt.

Site Supporter Spider Posted September 25, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2020 Had to go to a tower block in Newcastle recently for work. All social housing, as grim as it gets, city centre location with no parks at all nearby. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if people in places like that were overdosing or end up on killing sprees. Most of us are pretty fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted September 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2020 interesting that as mental health awareness has gone up over the past few years (or so it seems to me), that spending has gone down (apart from what looks like seasonal spikes in January) would that be because more people are talking about and don't need tablets as much?

Less willingness to go straight for the tablets. Rightly so. As all this has become more to the fore, an unfortunate side effect, has been an increase in those who claim "to have mental health". A lot is bollocks, being a bit down, stressed etc doesn't automatically mean folk have a mental health problem. Instances of folk being "prescribed" walks and exercise. That the same time, whilst all this is happening, its inevitable that there will be a rise in genuine cases- its these that must be found and properly treated.

An opportunity for the government to push public roles like this. Go and stand in a room with 30 people for an hour at a time while society makes out your a lazy shit, all the while dealing with kids that have done what they want for the last 6 months and don't know how to behave.

Its a cracking job and I only have to work 40 weeks a year, but atm it's not the job it should be. Typical classroom has to have a marked off teacher zone at the front, which teachers teach from.. issue is that in schools there isn't enough room for this.. so at times I'm less than 2m from students for an hour.. no masks in a closed room.. Hearing about a lot of teachers who have tested positive having spent 6 months shielding:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
