Got me so stressed I had to buy a MM Diplomat
Yeah it's all that is ever mentioned these days. Definately exhausting
Indeed. What's more stress-inducing is thinking of all the shit they're doing left and right whilst people's attention is elsewhere and they're forced to stay shut in.
I don't know if it's the fact of where I live or that I already live a shelter in place but my factory is still open and nothing for me has changed. Not saying things are not bad but just not here. Got a nice bowl a good glass of bourbon and a good woman to get me thru life but all is well
Don't watch much TV. Don't deal with much humans. But even I'm getting tired of COVID-19.
All my hobby forums have turned into armchair epidemiology forums.
Must diagnose long-distance, you know? Self-isolation and all that. ?
Nothing wrong with unplugging when you’re feeling burned out.
I took a nice long walk today with my wife and just enjoyed the sunshine.
Came home and we’re both reading our books and the kettle is on.
Too much bad news takes a toll that’s for sure. Hopefully you can find something to ease the burnout. Hang in there!

Since I retired 11 yrs ago I've become a stay at home person so I'm comfortable with self quarantine. I've got plenty to do outside with all the yard and pool work with the weather starting to warm up. What bugs me is all the rain we've had in the southeast. I could live without the rain for a little while so I can get the work done. Have patience everyone, all this will pass and we'll be back to normal in a short time.
at least the rain knocks the pollen down. I’ve mowed the yard three times this week. If it doesn't start to green up by next week, I’m afraid I’ll have to start mowing it twice a day.
I'm with Ray. I can turn off the tv. I can't turn off the rain. I would mow but, it's hard to mow a swamp.
And I live on a hill.

I was planning on tilling the garden and getting it ready but now i am think i have enough standing water i might try aquaponics in the garden. My cows are up to they're elbow in mud
Get used to it. The furor will last at least another 90 days.
I'm a bit fatigued with it as well, but given that I'm part of a more "at risk" portion of the population it behooves me to stay informed.
One bright side to people staying home is that the smog here has all but completely disappeared and I can enjoy the beautiful quality of light that brought people here in the first place.

Covid is the end of the world. The zombie apocalypse manifested. Armageddon. Let's not downplay the reality of the situation folks.
Or sensationalize it. It's serious enough as it is. Reminding the denier voices here that while this is NOT an influenza and NOT no big deal, it's also NOT the zombie apocalypse.
The population has been exposed repeatedly to pandemics over thousands of years and has bounced back. That may be a faint comfort to the sick and the dying, but it's still an historical fact.
I presume—and hope— that the above is t.i.c... [Edit: in response to gubbins, not sable.]
Some folks are acting just as if it were.
Deaths are a paltry number, given that a helluva lot of people die everyday in America. And somewhere between 500-1,000 a week from regular flu and common colds. I wish the newsies would put those number up.

Those regular cold and flu people are just drama queens looking for attention. Don't you know every 1 Covid death is worth at least 1,000 regular flu deaths? And who cares about the 30 people killed every day by drunk drivers in the U.S. and the several thousand killed every day by other car accidents world wide. The only deaths that really matter are the ones the media tells us about.
I think the level of anxiety is directly proportional to how many zombie movies and TV shows you've watched. Kidding, kind of...
