Life/Stress/Covid Support thread

I just had an argument with a person. The job title is 'delivery person', but that would imply actually delivering my groceries and not flat out refusing to enter my housing complex in case she got infected, insisting I break quarantine and walk down a communal corridor, across a room, down two flights of communal stairs, across another room, through the lobby and across the front courtyard to the car park and back twice instead, spreading virus all over the place on a weekend afternoon, and then driving off with my shopping when I refused. She wouldn't even get somebody else to do it. So person.
Actually I can think of many better descriptions. No quarantine supplies for me. I had to call a helpline and then talk to the manager of the store who didn't apologize and then finally arrange for an actual delivery to take place 24 hours late with no compensation. Also a third of it is out of stock substitutions. And no bags as I missed the point where you have to ask for them and they won't let me add them.
Any other Brits reading this: Do not use Sainsbury's on-line ordering unless you want to be left high and dry and insulted.
It's important while fighting a viral infection to be comfortable and stress free, yet I'm out of bread, milk and nearly out of TP, was actually sweating with stress afterwards and I'm still angry and upset. Add that to the threatening letter through my door and bullying smirking voicemail from a building contractor I've received since falling ill, because I refuse to let an electrician into my home to spend hours on basic inspection and maintenance during a $%^£ing pandemic!!!!! 99% certain that I was infected while arguing face to face with a representative of the Housing Association (landlords) about that. She was in my living room for an hour (rather than our usual 20minute chat) and only wears a mask if the resident asks despite visiting people all day. That's company policy.
We've all had since March to perfect living with Covid, so why is it that England can't manage to distance, deliver food/supplies or test people properly?
I am so sorry you are going through that. But rest assured, equally frustrating stuff is happening here, too.
 
In my neck of the woods, they've eased off regulations and I see a lot of people without a mask that could be infected and spreading it because they're asymptomatic. I'm in business for myself and my mask wearing hasn't ceased nor will it for sometime.
 

I have just received a text from my friend Terry, who was exposed at her nursing facility last week. She has sudden onset of deep wracking cough, high temp, and extreme fatigue. It's very probable it's Covid.

She is a high risk for complications, as is her bedbound husband which she cares for. She has been asthmatic her whole life. She has stayed on the front lines caring for her geriatric patients despite the risks.

PLEASE PRAY FOR TERRY AND HER HUSBAND BERNIE!

For those at high risk, be aware. You may want to be careful with pick up items and wipe them down.

Also, update on Terry and Bernie...both have made it through the virus so thank you for the prayers. Both are still having a few longer lasting effects with fatigue and breathing, but otherwise through the worst of it.

Peace be with you all. Love and Laughter rain down on this House and your Homes and Families EVERY SINGLE DAY.
