Thank you everyone for your responses.
As I’ve said, I’m not concerned at the virus per se, I’ve been at peace with my own mortality for a long time now. However my
Mother falls into the at risk category, with her suffering autoimmune diseases so if she was to catch the virus, it is highly likely she will die from it. In an eventuality that she does, I know I know I won’t want to live.
Presently my main concern is the future. I reside in the UK and our government’s seeming inaction is putting more and more in danger, with a large swathe of the public disregarding medical and government advice and conducting their lives as if there is not a global pandemic occurring. This is making any eventuality in the future, bleak and precarious. The UK has been in austerity for the last ten or so years which has resulted in economic uncertainty, tremendous employment losses with many left homeless and destitute. This pandemic ultimately means many more decades of this with all other eventualities including loss, devastation and hardship for the many.
