Imagine ...you're following the recommended guidelines to clean and sanitize home whenever anyone goes out then comes back in, then when they use the bathroom etc, ensuring tissues are thrown in a bag in their own room, taking off shared hand towels etc...you're practicing social distance as each one of us in the home mingle in different crowds and have different exposures to different people in different environments.
You confide that you're concerned about it and about the elders in our family...that is then used to insult you, tell you that youve lost your mind and you're being called OCD and to get an effing grip because I'm practicing hygiene and social distancing at the recommended standard.
The virus takes anywhere between 2 to 14 days to show symptoms. Its is currently crippling entire countries and killing people and yet they can behave in such a manner when you're ensuring not just your own safety...but theirs???
We all work in different environments
I work with children at a primary school my daughter attends.
Abusive partner at an office building on one floor with ac on all the time
My son works at an office building with the same scenario
I have a neighbour who is having chemo treatments and I sometimes get her things.
I'm fed up of this abuse.
I'm not panicking, I'm just taking the precautions as every one should be doing.
@antdickens Just been to the shop. They limited me to two tins of Spam, which I think is absolutely disgraceful. So I bought some dog food instead, since it's basically the same stuff. That'll show 'em
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@antdickens With respect, this doesn't read like spam. It reads like somebody at the end of their tether which, given some people's reaction to the news, is understandable.
That being said...

@Kats144 Welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time, and that so many have been dismissive of your concerns. We have an active topic in which to discuss the impact of coronavirus, in which I'm sure you'll find a better response (reading through it might help, too).
We're all here for our shared love of gaming, and PlayStation gaming in particular, which provides us an escape from everyday issues. Please therefore "self-isolate" the coronavirus talk to the above link.
Hope you see you taking part in other, more upbeat discussions elsewhere!

@antdickens I can't speak to the varied and unpredictable mindsets of other people, particularly people who are stressed and feeling alone. All I know is that it took me two minutes to type out some kind and (hopefully) helpful words; two minutes I'm willing to risk on a little faith.
But then I don't run a website like you do, so I've got to acknowledge your experience and instinct with regards such matters. Apologies if I came across as rude (or have created more work for you).

@RogerRoger not at all, you’re not being rude in the slightest. Unfortunately this does fit the profile and hallmarks of a spammer, but I’ll await another post from the account.
