Just watched my state's governor make a speech and she's shutting down gatherings again. Looks like we're back to square one honestly. This is going to suck because it's not like it's nice weather out now where I can go out and work in the garden or take a nice, long walk. Fuck. If we go into full lockdown again, I'm going to lose my shit. My depression and anxiety are already bad enough. I'm not working right now - haven't been since March. I'm broke. I'm depressed. I'm anxious. And mainly, I'm fucking pissed off at the morons that are walking around all la-dee-fuckin-da out there without their masks on at all or wearing it under their fucking nose. I got called a sheep by one of them the other day because I scoffed about him not wearing a mask at all. I hope you get the virus, you fucking twatwaffle. What is the matter with people? Why can't they just fucking do what they're told, wear a goddamn mask, and deal with it so the rest of us can get back to life?! And no, you don't have a damn "health condition" that makes it impossible for you to wear it. My mom has asthma, my aunt has copd, and they both wear a mask just fucking fine. You're just a goddamn snowflake who's got their panties in a twist. Ugghhhhhhh!!! I just want this all to go back to normal!!

How's your area doing? Are you ok? Your family? I just want everyone to be ok and happy again. T_T

My state's cases are exploding right now too and the governor has instituted state-wide limits on gatherings and a mask mandate but it's too little too late. Our hospitals are already at capacity and it sucks. I feel so bad for our healthcare workers. The other day I went to pick up an online order of food and the restaurant was full of people dining there, none of them wearing masks of course. People are selfish and ignorant, I've heard that healthcare workers have had to deal with people in the ICU sick with covid who still think it's all a hoax.

You're in a difficult position and I'm sorry that the selfishness of others have led you and so many folks like you into this situation, where we just want it to go back to relative normalcy and all it would take is caution and wearing a mask correctly. I hope you and your family stay healthy and safe. I don't know what the weather is like where you are but even though it's cold and sometimes snowy here I try to get outside sometimes, especially in the early mornings. Just sitting outside with a cup of tea, something about the cold air really makes the silence feel like it wraps around me. It's where I can try to find some peace.

oh yikes ;; god i'm so sorry you have to deal with people like that, i don't know how i'd manage without throwing hands tbh

i'm in italy which just got a second lockdown 😒 tho this time around it varies by region rather than being country-wide and so far the region i'm in is considered safe? so the only thing that changes is there's a 10 pm curfew which all things considered isn't too bad i see/hear an average of 5 ambulances a day tho which is........... quite grim

and the region my grandma's in is considered a moderate risk zone so oof ;;

god this vaccine can't roll around fast enough haha

Honestly, I'd handle another lockdown better, anxiety wise, than having plague rats running about, spewing germs and baseless "facts" about Covid-19, while maskless.

My town's hospital has a helipad and I hear that helicopter go over my house every... couple hours, all hours of the day and night. The flight path over my house takes them out of the no fly zone (because I live close to Camp David) and up to Hershey. In short, we're past capacity for Covid-19 in my tiny town of +10,000.

Oh man, I send my sincerest commiserations to everyone... especially you peeps in the US. Watching from Australia its really heartbreaking and appalling seeing what it happening there. It seems so fragmented there and I can definitely understand your anger at the covidiots, as we term them here. We had a second wave in my state which resulted in a pretty harsh lockdown. It has only now fully lifted so I really do sympathise with how you are feeling

It is difficult. We have a new mask mandate in my town now. We have to wear it or have a $25 fine per violation. I have found that my friends and family don't have to be physically together to have a good time.

I deal with mental health issues, as well. I am a peer support person for a Warmline. It helps me to gain insight as to how my own mind works. By helping others, I learn more about myself. I learn where my weaknesses are so I can strengthen myself. I know it's a daily struggle when you can't do what you normally do. If anyone wants the number, I can send it as a PM. I am usually on every day, so you will get a fast response, hopefully.

I am fortunate enough to have someone living with me...my hubby. He is not on Subeta, but he plays a lot of other online games. I have tried to get him to try Subeta, but he doesn't seem interested. If we did have a lockdown, I would have someone to hang out with. I know, however, that a lot of my friends/family don't.

The Governor in MN has been on television quite often lately pleading that we have no Thanksgiving Day gatherings outside of our immediate household. He's tightened up businesses again too. No dining in restaurants, earlier closing times for bars, etc.

I feel you on all of this. Cases are hella rising again in my area too & non-essential businesses have a 10pm curfew now so they don't have to fully close again. I'm dreading the next couple weeks bc I've seen a ton of people flagrantly talking about breaking the quarantine rules for Thanksgiving & with Black Friday after that... It's gonna get real bad again. Pretty much the only people I've seen since March are my parents & my entire life has been online classes. When it's not classes, it's just this weird lockdown nothingness. At least I don't know anyone who has personally gotten covid yet but I'm so fucking tired of all of this. I'm back to wondering how this is gonna end & what it's gonna look like on the other side.

Cases are rising enough in Pennsylvania that we received an Emergency Alert yesterday. Philadelphia already started going harder on the lockdown thing, so I figured it was only a matter of time.

People are still doing Thanksgiving, but some are keeping it small. Even so, I hope everyone stays healthy and safe because nobody deserves to get COVID.

I was in kansas and it was getting super bad, cases came crazy and we moved to arizona and now it's picking up too. We hit like 300,000 cases in a week, my family is ok but it sucks for my brother since he has terminal cancer and we are paranoid going out and we disinfect everything when we come in the house and so forth.
