Covid-19, has it affected you?

First topic message reminder :

For me it went from a struggle to find loo paper, to empty shelves of basic food and hygiene products in about a week or so.

Then Sunday I went to go to my local Aldi about an hour after opening time, at least 100 waiting to get in the door as the store was packed to the brim.
F*** that, off to Coles where I couldn't get near a real checkout and waited 10 deep at the self serve.

Prices of a lot of basics have gone through the roof, I suspect it will only get worse

My son works in a 4 floor CBD night club, one floor alone holds over 500, they aren't sure what they are going to do ATM, what ever it is, is likely to impact his income

Yesterday I returned to work after 4 days off to find out someone from the next office was sent home and for testing Friday, we hadn't heard the results by the time I knocked off at 3:00 pm, that person allegedly returned from SE Asia about 2 weeks prior

Now my favourite winter past time (watching my SANFL club) has been postponed from early April to May


I'm not sure I understand the 500 person max in that case, surely 1000 people spread around an oval is safer that 100 inside a cinema?

Planning Tassie for November, not game to book anything yet, bloody frustrating to say the least.


Oh well, I guess life goes on in a ever changing world, I'm way better off than a lot of others, hope you're not taking to much of a hit ATM

Not good at all, but all still healthy
Our car trip to Tas -Feb 21 hopefully.
Old daughter and SIL Scott still in Isolation after getting back from Canada / States-so all clear -4days to go.
Both working from home, Scott ( NSW GOV) told will be till at least August, Rachel (Accountany)has no time frame -no idea how long firm can continue either. Both their own businesses stalled as well, Rachel -Personal Trainer, Scott - Qantas points venture.
Youngest daughter Kate, started this year with ACT Law firm, working from home.
All healthy so far .
