You shouldn't be too concerned about how transmissible it is, as young kids mostly have mild or asympotomatic cases. And if you are vaccinated, you are also more protected, and less likely to transmit the virus. Common colds are also highly transmissible.mindscape wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 1:08 amYes, I'm still lucky to still have a job because I read that during this pandemic, adults in households with job loss or lower incomes report higher rates of symptoms of mental illness than those without job or income loss (53% vs. 32%). Maybe I'm just over reacting about getting infected with the virus specially about Delta Variant, which is more transmissible. Thinking about it gives me panic attacks.
What medication is she taking? Yes, my friends suggest too an option to see a psychiatrist. Will it still be possible to achieve the herd immunity if we reopen to the outside world? I guess it will just worsen the case.lee_yl wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 3:18 pmI have a friend who suffers from Covid anxiety and is taking medication to calm herself down before she leaves home for work each day. Maybe you can also consider getting a psychiatrist to prescribe you some medication?mindscape wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 1:29 pmHi Mommies,
Would like to seek help for the safety of my child. I'm a working mom and I'm worried of catching COVID along the way. I'm stressed thinking I might pass it to my child upon going home. The news about increasing cases adds up to my anxiety. Would it be best to resign on my work but, it would give me more stress because there would be limited source of funds. I'm mentally stressed =( What should I do?
Once we reopen to the outside world, travelers for business/leisure will start to flood in, we will definitely see an increase in Covid cases and be prepared that for each household, we will definitely see at least 1 member to have caught Covid, perhaps just like how we catch a flu bug. It is a sooner or later thing unless we forever live in own bubble, which is not possible. This is really beyond our control, what will be will be.
Maybe seek help from professionals (psychologist/psychiatrist)? I don’t think quitting work will help, instead, you should try to keep yourself busy to keep your mind occupied with other stuff? Quitting job alone won’t help unless you are prepared not to step out of the house?
Mentioning your hair, have you read the news that Delta variant is most likely to stay in the hair. I don't know how true is that but, just in case, what would be the proper way to avoid this? Cut the hair short or cover the hair?Estéema wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 2:55 pmYes, I do the same with any visitor after they leave - wipe down doors, tables & chairs, taps & washbasins, etcMrsKiasu wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 2:49 pmLimted source of funds may be a bigger trigger next time. So if can let yourself have more time to think about the quitting.
When you reached home. Go straight to shower. I m quite bad..if eg a repairman comes into my home..after he left I will spray sanitizer on floor and use wet tissues to wipe the the path..
For me going out short trips, I m not that careful with hair.. I don't wash hair every day unless really you are real close to someone coughing ow what.
For kids, try let them have better diet, vitamins and sleep plus manage stress.Extra wirk but I don’t feel it coz to me purposeful work is fast & quickie.
I do wash my hair everyday, esp right after reaching home. I’ve learnt fr my PRC frd who passed me my 1st load of alcohol wipes when we eat out - every utensils & plates are wiped down. Guess u’ll recognize me out there if u see someone doing this (besides my PRC frd)
Wear something sporty, tuck your hair inside a baseball cap, pull cap down real low and go out ? I wear that sometimes.....
That's a good idea. I wear my hat under hot sun..why never thought of wearing it into buildings lol.
