Have you noticed?

I have noticed the same thing. When the crisis first started, our customers at work were very understanding and kind, and understood that the employees were fumbling their way through this just like everyone else. Now, our customers are rude, demanding, angry and downright nasty towards employees, blaming them for everything instead of realizing we are all going through the same emotions as them due to the situation. I wish we would all take a collective breath and realize that we're all in this together, whether we like it or not, and return to treating each other with kindness and sympathy.

I truly can understand why people are being “grumpy.” 1. On March 16 the CDC told us ”FIFTEEN DAYS to stop the spread.” Within a week they’d changed it to “15 days to slow the spread.” NOW, two months later, we’re being told that the states that are reopening are doing so “too soon.” If we could get a straight answer from the CDC it’d go a long way to calming people. 2. People are losing their jobs, their businesses, and their homes. There’s no telling how many people are going to end up homeless because of this. That’s stressful, not only to the people experiencing it but also to the people who care. 3. The “conspiracy theories” exist because the news narrative keeps changing. Stories about how many people tested have the antibody for COVID-19 show that the mortality rate is less than 1/10 of 1%...then they bury that news story and start with the “phase two is going to be worse, if you survive the murder hornets!” Fear is a powerful weapon. Politicians have used it for centuries; and, I’m afraid, that’s exactly what’s going on right now. And, sad to say, the anger seems to be geared toward certain political persuasions more than others....

It seems like it. All I can see in social media are people ranting and dooign virtual violence.

I think people are mostly still pretty good here but it's easier for us as our numbers are good and restrictions are easing off.

It is human nature. Mankind was not meant to be caged like animals with limited human contact.

Yes, I have noticed it. I just scroll down all those conspiracy theories and other coronavirus posts on fb. I don't want to get stressed from reading them.

You are so right, now people don't seem concerned about anyone else. It's to the point where I live I have to change my shopping strategy, people are so mesn

I haven't really noticed it.

They keep saying on the television that we are more kind and caring to each other when this is not really true in some cases. I have just put the tele off again as its off with all the deluge of information and always about the same thing on and on. Its my way of disconnecting from it as much as I can. I cared and have always cared its inherent in me to be like that and there was no virus when I was very small.

I noticed the same thing.

so true. Mental health has soooo much importance!

I agree. We need to be kind, supportive, and uplifting. I've heard a little about people's reactions to this long lockdown.

There are many negative things that I observed while we are on lockdown or enhanced community quarantine. But I can see positive things too. And yes, this is not the time for quarrels. This is the right time to do good for each other

Yes we should support one another during this time of crisis as we know that togetherness is strength. Have a nice day.

That is so disappointing. It does seem we are hearing more and more about bad behavior. I really hope we don't have to have a second lockdown.

I am worried for ever increasing deaths and infected cases not only in my country but all over the world more than anything else.

No, it is not just you. I don't read all those news about the virus because it makes me more anxious.

People are still friendly and supportive here, but I have noticed the ridiculous conspiracy theories and fake news on the web.

I haven’t been grumpy at all. I’m enjoying life more than ever actually.

The Honeymoon period is over. People seem to be reverting to how they were pre virus. Its not nice but in light of all the news and fake news it is understandable.
