Agree, and this would be the one point of contention I too would have. That said, I know what it's like on the other side, where trying to get one thing done requires the coordination of multiple people - it's amazing how colleague will cheerfully claim 'oh yeah, I can get that done for you tomorrow', and so you tell the client who keeps demanding an answer: 'we'll have to you in a couple of business days, end of the week the latest' and then a week later, still nothing. You can't tell the client about your moron coworker, or the idiotic state legislation and ridiculous paperwork, or whatever it is that has held things up. Things like this happen even in the most normal of circumstances. And right now things are hardly 'normal'.
So I wouldn't want to tell people how to feel and to 'simmer down', just as much as I wouldn't appreciate others instructing me to panic. More than ever people probably want to maintain as much control as possible.
It's just a friendly suggestion to maintain perspective and patience.
I have little skin in this game. It'd be nice for those 30-odd credits I earned to be there already, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not the most paramount. I realise others may not feel the same. But being worried is choice we make.
I hope everyone gets the resolution they need.
