Is it ever going to just end and be gone

If you don't have the virus Rachel just stay at home with your family and wash your hands keep everyone safe it's a stressful time for us all try and concentrate on doing things together and stop watching the news Gary

I'm afraid it's not going anytime soon. Which country are you in?

Just have to accept it that it will take a lot of time and stick it out. I used to fly frequently for work and things will not go back to normal for me for a very very long time.

Just stay at home and you will be safe. Don't go out if it's not required. Wash your hands and wear a mask while going out. Hope this will end soon and everyone will be safe.

The best thing you can do is stay home with your little boy. I know these are difficult times, but if you follow the health guidelines, the risk of you or your son getting the virus is low. Especially if you stay home. If you have your own yard, you can play outside with him. if available you can order groceries to be delivered., etc

try not to show your fear to your son because the sense that and become scared also. I have stayed away from the news because it has affected me negatively. There’s really nothing that new day today anyway so I try to focus on things that make me laugh and that are positive. i even play online games with my kids and grandkids!

hang in there. we are all in the same situation and you are not forgotten. We are here for you if you need to vent or ask questions. ❤.

Well unlike the flu, this virus doesn't seem to make children that sick and lots of children don't even have symptoms. I don't think I have heard of any fatalities of children under 9. Are you or your child on the extremely vulnerable list? If not and you are under 60, the likelihood of you getting seriously ill or worse from the virus are extremely low. The media hypes up all the deaths of covid 19, but a virologist on the television has said the other week that now they think the death statistics are about the same as bad strain of the flu, the only difference being, children can be much more affected by the flu. You don't hear every year about how many people die from the flu do you? Well the numbers are quite high and that is even with a vaccine, so if you weren't terrified by the flu, you shouldn't be terrified by this. It is more contagious, but the risk to young healthy people are very minimal, the reason we have to isolate is to avoid spreading it to more vulnerable people. Try and look at the positives rather than the negatives, you get to spend lots of quality time with your son.

hi Rachel.. I can relate to how you are feeling.. i have a little boy age 4 and i suffer with health anxiety.. Prior to lockdown I was putting myself crazy over sanitising everything and constantly worrying if i had touched anything without washing hands, thinking the worst outcome of every scenario.. 9 days into lockdown my little boy developed a dry cough its lasted 4-5 weeks.. it was mild and his form was still good.. about 9 days after he took unwell i have developed a viral pneumonia.. My doctor has told me it is very likely we have both had covid.. My little boy is 100% and i had some inflammation in lung and cough left.( I had a previous pneumonia which has left my lung scarred) . We fortunetely are both fine.. Just like the vast majority of people who contract the illness will be.. The reason I am telling you as as much I tried to control the situation and worry endlessly.. What happened happened.. If i had of been told that we were both going to get ill before lockdown i would of gone into a full blown panic.. Sometimes you need to take each day as it comes and do your best at the time.. Stay home and enjoy your little boy.. When you can take 10 minutes to yourself try to mediatate or deep breath.. Dont submerge yourself with news or negative reports of covid.. Dont underestimate your own strength
