Everything is really shit right now – a thread. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/everything-is-shit_uk_5ffd704cc5b63642b6fee304
Statistically, we’re at the very worst point in the pandemic:
– Overall deaths stand at more than 80,000.
– The NHS is at risk of being overwhelmed.
– And there’s the prospect of a seemingly endless lockdown.

It’s just as well then that we have a government that has promoted a consistent, strategic approach to this virus. Three cheers for clear messaging!
This is a government that follows the science! Unless that science tells us back in September, six weeks before the full November lockdown, that we should lock down.
Unless that science tells us schools are unsafe to open while we’re planning to fully reopen amid an out-of-control mutant variant of the virus.
Unless that science tells us we need a fully functioning Test and Trace system while we’re spending billions of pounds on a system that didn’t even reach the bare minimum of contacts until the final weeks of 2020.
Unless that sci– actually, this has happened a lot. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/guided-by-the-science-coronavirus_uk_5fe46a92c5b6e1ce8338aa72
The uncertainty surrounding our futures can be extremely detrimental to our overall wellbeing.
If we didn’t have enough to worry about, conspiracy theories are now actively harming us.
It’s also still very cold, and very dark. “Winter was inevitable,” you say? Sorry, but I’d like to speak to the manager. We’ve got enough on right now.
The government have loved a hopeful little maxim.
“It’s always darkest before the dawn.” “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.” “One last push.”
Is it just us, or has it been a weirdly long night? Just nine full months of night. Tunnel feels quite long too, tbh.

It’s hard to criticise those in charge for trying to inspire some positivity but it can be pretty galling to hear repeated messages of optimism as we’re gripped by what feels very much like chaos.
So no, it’s not you – everything is shit right now. And if you’re finding things rough, these stories might help: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/how-are-you-feeling/
