Last Minute Changes and Coronavirus

Misnamedhellion

How is everyone coping with all of the last minute changes that the coronavirus outbreak is causing? I am feeling very stressed because my work might close any day (we are a visitor attraction), and I might have to work from home. People have started cancelling plans, and events, and my routine is not consistent. Everything just seems very uncertain for the next few months, and I know that we're all in a similar position.

I understand that all of these things are necessary in order to protect the most vulnerable in society, but I'm find the uncertainty really difficult to cope with - its all a bit overwhelming Does anyone have any coping mechanisms that they would like to share for dealing with necessary changes?

  • My advice is to just take life one day at a time, change will be rapid in the coming days. Some change is actually better for a short time.

    Buses are less busy, every day this week there are less people on the bus, less traffic jams, and less contact with other people, so smaller chance of infection ( I hope). The paradox in this logic is that although more people are infected, we have less people to be in contact with.

    However, the bus company are soon cutting services,  so less buses will mean more people per bus, unless even more people stay at home.

    Every day is different,  just listen to the news for more government U turns.
