My condolences to your family and his. Screaming into pillows and hitting them might help with the frustration.

For work we will be using the combo of these two, a 2 layer cloth mask with a pocket for a filter of your choice (we just use coffee filters) And the plastic shield. So far they are not triggering my panic attacks so yay

The shield reminds me of something you would pickup in a game.

I’m gonna have my mom make me a mask for when I go back to work. I’m still not sure what’s gonna happen there. My thinking is that if the hospital does not open for the public (normal visitation etc) then I probably won’t work, but can’t say for certain. Will have to wait and see.

My wife ordered some cloth masks for us. Naturally, she decided upon a black denim one for me. It makes me look like some ninja assassin of sorts. I kinda like it and might wear it even when the pandemic ends…

Sorry, @bradbear117. As trite as it sounds, you are fighting by staying at home. Let us know if you want to hang out in chat to rage at something, or laugh at naughty jokes in a game of Cards Against Humanity.

Okay, so covid shedding stage 4 on May 1st. Wonder who’ll win… Eskom to stage 4, or the lockdown to stage 1…

I’m sure when the stages align great things happen.

I hope it’s only 7 days but I somehow doubt I’ll be going back to work just yet. I will if they ask me/tell me though.

I saw some documents that we (construction) will only be allowed back in phase 2, and then with one third labour force… Still guess work, but I am not very hopeful right now.

Also, no news about schools that I can find, so that might ruin my return to work as well!
