Pessimism from coronavirus

Coronavirus is affecting the population at such a huge impact. Countries including the UK are struggling to fight the pandemic and I am upset as a result of the lockdown and restrictive measures meaning that the way of life that we took for granted prior to the outbreak will disappear for all eternity. I have feared that lockdown measures and social distancing could last forever and the world economy could crash meaning poverty will be widespread across the globe and we will be living with the coronavirus as an endemic as I am worried there will be no cure for this new disease. We could be saying goodbye to pubs and travelling as a result of the pandemic. I am autistic and have suffered depression as a result from bad news as I have had such high expectations in life.

  • As long as you, yourself is healthy, then what's the worry?

    Pubs? To me pubs mean free WiFi, free toilets and the occasional bar meal.  I'm incapable of socialising and drinking in them.

    The economy,  a booming economy doesn't really benefit me.  I'm virtually unemployable due to my behavioral problems, even at the best of times.

    Depression,  the solution is to stop watching and listening to all the lunatic and false news.  I suffer from bouts of depression with no obvious causes.

    I never had high expectations of life.

    One piece of advice I was given a long time ago is that in life,  we only need a comfortable bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you're not in one you're in the other.

    Good health to everyone here.
