Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Sister in law was due over with husband and their four brats, have just cancelled as have all come down with a sick bug, not The Bug though. Am quite pleased, they were coming as the nans are locked in their homes, but reading news this morning and it seems even relatively young and heathy folk shouldn’t mix either.
Was reading about a group of leading immunology professors stating that the government should have to order people to stay at home, as in Italy. One of them is a chap called Julian Peto, sounded familiar, then came to me, he was Howard Marks’ very best friend in the world from the day they both went to interview for Oxford

Not from groups to be fair. Normal people who I know on and off Facebook.

Yeah I don't do facebook groups. Worst two culprits are blood relations. Green wankers.

So many particulars. So many questions.
an xtian friend was phoned up by one of his circle and greeted with the words 'JUDGEMENT HAS COME!' which made me laugh. Turns out the end really was nigh all along

Happy to be here
There are 100's of online yoga classes. What special about the neighbour? He be singing a different tune if he gets sickThis is very minor stuff but its making personal strife in my friendship with my neighbours. He's a yoga teacher, really good one, teaches at home in their own little (cramped) studio and I just had to say I am not coming anymore for the foreseeable. He's refusing to do anything like consider going online somehow or even clean the equipment between the many classes so its a no from me. He obviously thinks i'm overreacting and its really uncomfortable. They have asked me to look after their dog for the weekend which is usually a pleasure but i think i might be going in there with gloves and overalls on now

Oh Christ, I don't have my family on Facebook!
I am on a messenger group for school, which i have concluded to be the epicenter of all human stupidity - but watching the seething and barely disguised passive aggression and neediness is quite amusing.

It could be worse. Could be the sousaphone.

I reduced my population of facebook contacts long ago to avoid this sort of thing.
Definitely not. I suppose the fact that I (sometimes) notice I am doing it is a tiny step in the. right direction, but that's not much use. I am always touching my face.

You’re both hard-wired and environmentally wired to touch your face a lot, especially when anxious.
One thing that can help is clasping your hands together and wrapping your fingers round each other when in a passive mode or not doing something else.

Tick tock.
This is not directed at you personally, just using this comment as an opportunity to as calmly as is appropriate say:
FUCKING NOBODY SHOULD MIX! NOBODY! ABSOLUTELY MINIMISE ALL HUMAN CONTACT! NOW! NO ‘AH BUT I’LL JUST’, OR ‘IT’LL BE ALRIGHT IF I’, OR ANYTHING. IF YOU DON’T ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO MEET, DON’T DO IT!
This announcement brought to you in place of the vacuum of leadership in our poor country.

They had a psychologist on the Beeb talking about. The science stuff was I think to stop people feeling guilty about it and that they’re not weird for doing it (touching certain points on your face activates the parasympathetic nervous system), and then there were a couple of tips.
Another one was getting into the habit of saying ‘face’ whenever anyone reaches to touch their face. Helps people recognise when the movement is starting.

I'm actually considering shavinging of my beard. Considering I only grew it to see what it would be like, I've got remarkably attached to it and am scared how much my face has aged in the last few years.

It's pretty simple really. We spread disease by touching each other and touching things that other people have touched. It's not confusing and it's really not difficult. Stay at home. Limit your contact with others.

I don't really understand why people have such an overwhelming need to go out all the bloody time anyway.

It's not helped by the fact we've had a bloody miserable wet winter and this is the first proper spring weekend.
Thought my run would be quiet today, but there were loads of people out.

Me neither. Personally I only really want to go out if there's food (or alcohol!) involved and have to force myself otherwise, for fear of what allegedly happens to couch potatoes health-wise, and of becoming an actual recluse.

But even so...people are only being asked to maybe just not go to the pub for a few weeks. I mean fuck. Is it really so much to ask?

Not my personal consequences, but my brother's: he runs an audiovisual company that does trade shows around the world. He got out of Singapore as it was beginning to look a bit scary, and is back home, but his business is essentially grounded until further notice. He is usually followed by a trail of shipping containers that carry all the kit to the next venue, so they will either have to circulate the planet endlessly, or they'll all end up in his front garden...

Yeah it can be. Lots of people share their lives with abusive parents or partners. Domestic violence will go up. People will feel trapped.I am the same category

Others will find the enforced intimacy with their partners is like during Christmas or summer holidays just too much.
Kids will often go garretty if not allowed to work off their energy.
Lots of people are really lonely and rely on that ten min chat with the local shopkeeper to keep them sane.
Many cant afford to heat their homes 24 /7 and budget on being at work where they pay.
The elderly and people with disabilities will suffer with all the day centres shut.
Isolation kills older people in particular.

Yes but I am talking about the people who don't have any of those problems and can stay at home easily.
