Meaning having had it but still feeling effects, or finding it frustrating with issues like not having a beer with lunch?

The question needs to be broadened as to what is it really asking.

Yes, we are feeling a of fatigue. Try to get outside every day, go to parks, bbq, yardwork, lots of board games inside, arts and crafts projects...but even these things get the feeling of "been there, done that" after almost two years.

Mostly work. Plus gardening, Kdrama, JP metro and cab ride videos on YouTube - the ambient sound is relaxing, whilst hoping the insane moral panic subsides at some point.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

Yes.

So I consume less and less "news" every day. The fear propaganda is just relentless. I get out have have a good walk/bike ride - maskless when outdoors, concentrate on my work, read a book and talk with family and friends about other things.

1 ( +7 / -6 )

Yes. Totally sick and tired of it. Drink.

9 ( +9 / -0 )

I go on as normal except for teleworking. I think the best solution is to force people who can to work through telework, but keep all the social and cultural activities open.

We have a little kid in our extended family who is a real crack up.

He is aged 4, Japanese and he was wondering why his dad {suffering from corona } was being kept in the bedroom with no visitors .

His mum explained "he has Corona virus "

Little boy replies "will he become a zombie "?

I am fatigued by others' coronaphobia https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7474809/

You should try living in Japan, where the situation is the opposite, people not giving enough importance to the pandemic thanks to government measures that contradict the careful measures the experts say are justified because of the risks from the infection.

Turn off the TV and trash the newspapers and spend quality time with the ones you love. Hug your kids each day and tell them how much you love them. Tell your spouse how much they make your life a blessing. Doing these things it is amazing how what is important is front and center and all the BS just fades away.

Fatigue is a result of corona virus? I think fatique is more related to majority staying home and not getting exercise like they use to when they were commuting to work. Sit home tele work for years and no exercise yeah you will get winded easily walking 100 meters or flight of stairs. More likely youll start suffering from atrophy and lose all your muscles. The question is why is this only asking about fatigue? Is that the only symptom from this virus?

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

Keep them busy. We usually watch movies during the weekends, cook good food and make sure to get lots of exercise. Mental stress from this pandemic is real, and if corona doesn't get you, your mind will. Stay occupied, stay (mentally) positive and stay happy.
