Thank you ineedamun flowers
I too could not believe that anyone could spit on that poor worker and her colleague knowing they had coronavirus, and for them to ultimately die through it. The scum that did this should be locked up and the key thrown away angry

I was upset and horrified about the transport worker who died and was spat on.
I hope they catch the perpretator, and he/she gets time to think about their actions, in prison.

Callistemon, I hadn't heard that news. No wonder you are so upset. I hope they find the person who did it.
Man's inhumanity to man!.?

I think it was hearing about the British Transport worker who died after contracting the virus after someone spat in her face that really upset me this evening.
I feel tearful and angry thinking about it.

I hope they catch whoever was responsible and they are charged and imprisoned.

Please don't be too hard on yourself. The world changed overnight and will be a while before things go back to the way they were, if at all.

These are huge changes without the hugs and kisses of loved ones, which always helps with stress, but we can't do.

The death toll is horrendous and you are also grieving.

Please be kind to yourself.

I’ve always had an optimistic outlook and ‘stiff upper lip’ but tonight watching the news I burst into tears. The news was no better or worse than before but I think it was a mixture of emotion and fear for the future. I am beyond furious that primary school children will be allowed back to school next month, key workers children being the exception. My dear GD who is taking GCSE’s next year should be amongst the first to return. I know this virus will eventually pass although not for the foreseeable future, but at what cost? Already the number of deaths are staggering, how many more lives will be lost? I miss the closeness and interaction with family and friends and ‘normality’ of life. I think the recent easing of lockdown has panicked me somewhat and I’m scared of the inevitable rise in cases. Sorry, I feel completely out of control at the moment and that is not like me at all! sad
