I guess this will get an emotional knee jerk from some - but, it's a point
apparently one side of politics has been calling the other side - snowflakes
well - if these shutdowns have brought about lots of snowflakes melting with mental issues - it points to some serious risk issues
if people fall apart because they have to stop work for a while and stay home, watch telly, fix a few things, and go for walks
it that's throwing them into huge financial pressures --------- then, they need to take that into account when things do get back to normal - because basically they have put themselves into a position where they are totally dependent on being able to work - without any interruptions - like longer or medium term sickness, accidents that lay them up for a couple of months, redundancies - etc etc
I've got news ------------ those things happen in life - quite regularly - indeed - you are bloody lucky if you don't have something like that happen in life at least once --
so - be grateful that you have your physical health and you are getting a strong warning that you have put yourself at huge financial risk - and, - fix it.
Now - if the mental stress isn't from financial obligations - then, are we seriously that snowflakey that we cannot stop in a perfectly comfortable home for several weeks with having a hissy fit?
Seriously -------------- if that is the case - then, I suggest that we need to learn to manage ourselves ------------ toughen up princess comes to mind
learn to live with quiet - learn to live without the entertainment value of attending the workplace - because I tell you what -------- if you aren't attending work - and, our society is getting along just fine without you - ie. surviving - then, your work is merely for your entertainment - it is not critical for the survival of society -
it's like something in your kitchen drawers at the back that hasn't been used for a year or more ------------ it's superfluous ---------
time to get a handle on what is really of value - because - there are a million and one things that will force you to be home and not work - it's only time - as this has surely proven

Of course you are so right . I shouldn't have started a business or borrowed money for a house . I should have
done what you obviously did and planned for a corona virus and the stupid moronic government reaction to it
And , of course, if I go broke and lose my house and my marriage fails at least I will feel so good that a 81 year old lived
three months longer because of my sacrifice ...
