News Worldwide impact of the novel coronavirus (covid-19)

^It's not an ongoing thing though. You scan once, go & eat. It's past stuff too!?

No it's not because I am scanning and telling them exactly where I am at the moment. If it's scanning after I ate there, it would be past stuff!

Cos you guys have got 'rights' lol

Damn glad for those rights, for many, many, MANY, reasons.

Required i couldnt handle and writing down where ive been and who ive been around is easier cause im not there anymore. Its past stuff. Knowing where I am at that moment is the trigger.

vs

Scanning

Same horse, different race lol

Challenge the fixed idea that a pstd symptom should prevent you from tracking a deadly virus & saving your own or somebody else's life?

This has me nervous 42% increase in cases

Chill, being tracked by someone over something really isn't all that big drama fears crack it out to be, even in times the trackers are actually not friendlies and actually good.

Fretting about phantoms isn't helping you.

Tldr health check by govt & health orgs on people isn't what you're reading into it.

In fact, it helps *prevent* the things trauma got you so terrified of happening.

And keep you healthy on top. :happy: It's a win-win tool.

Being tracked

I agree with you - I don't like the idea of that either.

 

[Ronin]

I agree with you - I don't like the idea of that either.

... You DO realize you are tracked already in soo many things?

While just posting on the internet, too?

.... So can we *please* not go this paranoia train now? :cool: About good people / orgs trying to keep citizens alive and well and ensure their safety faster, no less.

pretty sure you can not go this route on your own without calling someone elses trigger paranoia. or telling them to chill.

could just be reading this wrong but it seems super disrespectful and invalidating to me but i dont know your relationship with others but they say this:

understand what it's there to do but its a HUGE trigger of mine connected to one of the bigger trauma happenings.

and then to be told to chill and not be paranoid......

?:facepalm:
doesnt seem helpful

moving on now.....

rates here are going up, premier doesnt seem to want to wait to see if there's fallout from protests or not and is moving on to stage 2 relaunch with added stuff that was originally stage 3 stuff
my ex tells me theres a "cutoff" point based on how many people are hospitalized, that will re-close places but.....
i think people are just "over it"

not all of course but more and more so

i dunno how i feel or if i care at the moment but my anxiety/stress level has been going up, tho took me awhile to figure out why, as relaunch continues forward.

definitely felt more calm when the world shut down

Well, internet tracking depends on who you are, what knowledge you have, and how you set up your devices. And lets not compare a virtual internet space with a real life one! Totally and completely different!

@Lumos, I picked this up in my diary if you wanna discuss it there!

My only OT about this, then back to topic.

Pointing out to a member that I've had a looong history of caring for - since she joined, in fact - that some her thinking may be based in very strong distortions and is *not* the kinds of risks her trauma leads her to think of? Is called caring. The opposite of being disrespectful.

And just because some reasoning is based in trauma doesn't mean it can't be simultaneously paranoid.

You seem to be attaching stigma to the word 'paranoia' that is about abuse and attacking a person's judgment as a whole and human value. That's neither my intent, nor my use of the word... And also not my problem.

Unhelpful to me is telling people challenged by a situational read that their fears are realistic.

Unhelpful would be exploiting these fears.

Unhelpful and downright cruel would be using that person's trauma to hurt others with spreading misinformation.

Or the kind of bad information that means they may not access *medical care.* as needed because of how they read medical announcements & apps as out to get them.

Second wave already upon us? The cases in Florida are the highest then they have been this entire time. But, as far as I know, no more lock downs are coming and we are moving into phase 2 reopening.

Govenor Desantis is making a plan to reopen schools at full capacity come August. While our numbers are peaking at all time highs.

I think the economy is overshadowing the numbers at this point.

 

[RubyBlue]

Our numbers are insanely high in almost no time at all. I haven’t heard if there have been any changes to reopening so I seriously doubt it. But it’s incredible how fast we jumped right back up.

Are you in the US @Annalyn78?

Here in Australia we're still bubbling along with some States reporting a few cases and some reporting none at all. So though it seems we are on the verge of eradication unfortunately we may not be.

There was a report of an infected person who attended a protest in Victoria last weekend? He didn't have the app operating on his phone, the group that he travelled with to the protest are now all in quarantine & though he says he had a mask on, the authorities are still really concerned and cannot trace anyone else. That infected person may be the start of a big cluster. So there has been a lot of media ads about what to do.

The Chief Health Officer & politicians, State and Federal, are concerned that what's being reported isn't the reality. They believe and I do too, that it's probably swinging through healthy & younger people who are not realising they have it.

But where does healthy concern about something that could be real and paranoia intersect? :cautious:

The Chief Health Officer reminded us that in Northern Italy they now believe the virus was there & spreading rapidly from February and possibly infected thousands of people before the first case was formally diagnosed and reported. That's really scary imo.

I suppose in one respect, we are always going to be looking for patient zero now?
