Storm Is Rising
Sea Front
It's been stormy weather here for the last couple of days, but I've been working, so no photos of the culprit - here's one I caught a while ago...
The Plague's 2nd wave seems to be breaking over New South Wales at the moment... not as dramatically as it's hitting Victoria - our numbers are a lot smaller, but it's creeping in. There have been outbreaks centred on various hotels & restaurants & a couple of churches... which suggests simply that people can't really be bothered with this social distancing shit any more - it's too much trouble & gets in the way of what they want to do. At the Shopping Centre near Debtor's Prison work yesterday, I saw a group of 6 people at the top of the escalators all exchange close hugs & the European-style double kisses on the cheek & as for keeping 1.5 metres apart, well... Vaffanculo!!!
Here at home, we have some P2 particulate filtering face masks we bought when the bushfires were dumping their smoke in the Sydney area. We didn't end up really needing them at the time, but it seems the smart option to at least have one handy next time we have to go to any place where it's likely we'll be subjected to the Great Unwashed's disdain for public health. Which is slowly, but surely, becoming most places...
One of my 2 cow-orkers called in sick today, with "fever". If they turn up again within the next 13 days, I will simply walk out of the building & not return without disposable gloves & a face mask... & maybe the largest tin of Glen 20 I can buy
