Constant bad thoughts, = unhealthy minds.
I said before that if/when this is all over, it will leave another epidemic in it's place - mental health problems.
Do something you enjoy every single day and stop listening, reading, and talking non-stop about death.

Quite apart from those people, many of us feel that they are attempting to brainwash us all, with comments like:-
a) It could take years to find a vaccine.
b) Life will never be the same , even after the virus has gone.
c) There is a chance that, even if you have had the virus once, the antibodies may not remain in your system.
Many religions used fear of the unknown to control their followers & I suspect all governments are trying to do the same! I am already hearing that bicycle lanes are being extended, so cars will not be the best option for travel.
Brainwashing is a better way to control what people do, and social media has seriously contributed to people being brainwashed, without them even noticing.

Re: Things that annoy you!
A typical non-story in the DM this week.After telling us that 15 million people were expected to travel to beauty spots this weekend, they are now saying - 'Traffic across the UK was up just three per cent on last Saturday as the 15 million day trippers expected to go out largely stayed at home despite being told by the government that they were allowed to travel further afield.'
Why do they do this? Why can't they report on what actually happens rather than what might happen? It just makes the paper look stupid.

They know exactly where to spread their political ideals: naive young minds. I find it disgusting.

As for the expected sudden increase in travelling, I believe that can be explained by the fact that the sensible majority outnumber the irresponsible fools.
We've all heard about the great unwashed going out into parks and the streets and congregating just to show that they know better than the authorities. Fortunately, they are heavily outnumbered by the rest of us - mostly older and sensible people - who prefer not to rush into things.
Despite the relaxed rules, Marge and I rarely go out apart from Marge shopping and visiting her aged mother and keeping a respectable distance. She won't let me go out as I am more prone to the effects of Covid, not that I mind!
