Are we getting a bit low?

I am definitely fed up with lockdown. I am shielding so not allowed out.
Having existing problems, I have also acquired a problem eg my DD's poorly dog.
During lock down there is no way he can go home so I am having to arrange vet's treatment added to the worry he is causing.
I will be so pleased when they are able to come and pick him up.

I’m sure there are lots of people who are very happy in lockdown, thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of others. We’re very fortunate to have these people doing so much for the country.

Yes I agree there is a way to go yet but I am perfectly happy in lockdown.

Exactly how are we nearly there ?

As SirChenjin has just said, there’s a way to go yet. I don’t want to hear constant harping on about exit strategies and lockdown ending until it’s safe to do so, otherwise all these last few weeks will have been a waste of time.

We’re not nearly there - until a vaccine or drugs are available, probably next year sometime, we’re simply in the first wave.

Let’s give thanks to our wonderful NHS and care sectors and everyone who works so hard to keep the rest of us safe and well, whether that’s the supermarket workers, the food delivery drivers, the volunteers, or whoever. As a result of their professionalism, dedication, bravery and sacrifice the country has kept goi g through an incredibly difficult time and will keep going until the scientists and clinicians come up with a solution.

I have noticed on these boards the last few days that more of us are sounding fed up & worried & generally low.
I know this business has gone on for long enough now & we all want to get back to normal. I am lucky that I am able to drive to supermarket when needed ( & I am shopping for more elderly neighbours too) so I am getting out more than just daily walk.
We're getting there- they are looking at when we will be able to get back to normal.
The weather has been lovely ( well in South anyway)
We are probably getting to know our neighbours better than ever before- even if it is from 6' apart.
There are some cracking series on TV for a change.
The gardens are looking great & we have time to do the gardening.
Only problem I have personally is having DH around all the time- I know he wants to get back to work too & I will be very glad to see him off on that wonderful day. I will then tidy the house & it will stay that way for the day & I will have coffee when I want it & hopefully get to see my friends & DGC again.
Think positive!!! We're nearly there.
