Hi folks,
Just a quick update from down here...
Australia is now suffering from a second wave, after having been very successful in controlling the COVID spread.
This is centred around Melbourne (ie. my home) with particular suburbs having gone on lockdown to try and prevent this spreading.
As of tonight the whole metropolitan area is on stage 3 lockdown once again, for six weeks initially.
There are also reports of elevated case numbers in the border area between Victoria and NSW due to people trying to beat the border curfew (to get home, etc)
Fair to say a lot of people here are feeling very flat after having thought we were through the worst of it. And yes, I completely realise how misguided that perception was, just reporting on what I see as the general vibe.
