People don’t have backyards mate . And many are listening to the media , agenda driven panic merchants , who just want to drive hysteria for the clicks .
So many people , especially woman , who IMO have an already in built , genetic flight response , just are hiding inside .
To dismiss this , is naive at best. Many people are too scared to go outside at all , which like you said is over reacting , but it’s still happening.
Until the general consensus is lift the restrictions , these types , which due to some mental health issues in my family recently , Im starting to be more aware of , are really at risk.
And as the majority of our nation live in cities , and the general isolation , people tend to feel in the biggest cities , this is a huge issue.
Domestic violence , alchohol use , online gambling , are through the roof. This isn’t good , as a potential on going social issue post COVID.
I agree with a lot of this post mate, in fact I know the effects this is having on my own mental health and have been open about that on here. I don't really see the alternative though, those stats from overseas people are raising are very relevant because we were on the same trajectory before we implemented these restrictions. Without these restrictions a lot of people would have died, I can't put my mental health over the lives of others. I have accepted that during this time I'm going to really struggle but I am very willing to do that to save the lives of others.
I don't want you to not post because you feel this is an echo chamber, I like differing opinions but I will stand up for what I believe in and call out opinions that I think are wrong or dangerous!
