To all the people of Greater Melbourne – we’re almost half way through.
We can do this because we’ve done worse. Much worse.
Just like Black Saturday, no one else really understands. Only other Victorians do. That makes all of us one family. We look after our own. That is our ‘gold bloody standard’!
I love you.
Meeks

I am the kind of person who always has to know why things are the way they are so my interests range from genetics and biology to politics and what makes people tick.
For fun I play online mmorpgs, read, listen to a music, dance when I get the chance and landscape my rather large block.
Work is writing. When a story I am working on is going well I'm on cloud nine. On bad days I go out and dig big holes...

Are you having another surge of virus? I wasn’t aware of that, Andrea. Ugh. When will this end? Here in the US, people have given up waiting for the anti-vaccination people to change their minds. Life is completely back to normal. It feels surreal. Take good care of yourselves. Go, Melbourne.

Thanks, Diana. And yes, another outbreak. 😦 Better a lockdown than a runaway virus. Unlike you, our vaccination program is a sick joke so not even the most vulnerable are fully vaccinated. If we don’t catch the virus and stop it in its tracks we’ll be in huge trouble.

Trust me, I’m staying put. I don’t mind so much as I’m writing consistently again, but I will miss the little freedoms I was starting to enjoy. Hopefully the lockdown will be short.

Using the time for writing is perfect. I hope your lockdown is short and that it does the trick. Crossing my fingers that vaccinations will get organized for you and your community. Hugs.

Hi Meeks, I am so sorry. We are apparently in a third wave here too and our cases are climbing. I don’t think we will be locked down here as our country just can’t afford it. It will end up being self isolation out of choice. I am also so tired of it all.

Hi Meeks, the vaccine programme here is very slow. Only 800,000 people have been vaccinated out of 59 million. It is the mental health issues that are starting to rear their faces now, everyone is tired of being at home.

Ugh. That’s bad. Mind you, we’re not that much better. I think our vaccination program is maybe to 2%? It’s a joke. Try to stay positive. -hugs-

Yes go Melbournites – I feel 4 you all. Having had a few short lockdowns here in my home region of Auckland, New Zealand. Our last time was February when the Valentines Day Cluster formed…but for now we are back on Level 1 (Level 0 is when this all is done/dusted) I wonder if and when that will be…Gentle hugs from the across the ditch, Luv Catherine

Thanks Catherine. 🙂 We’re a wee bit shellshocked to be facing this again, and in such a crazy way. I mean…seriously? The guy gets covid in hotel quarantine, in another state, and comes home to melbourne not knowing he’s picked it up in the hotel. -facepalm-
Still, at least most of us just suck it up and get on with it.
Hope you guys remain covid free so we can the the bubble happening again soon!

Not to good this time around we have had some cases very close to where we live..too close for me and no sign of any semblance of a vacine programme at all…We are staying at home in a self imposed quarantine. I am not venturing out for anything..I do miss my trips to the market though…Have a great weekend 🙂

Damn. Robbie said that South Africa is going through a third wave as well. Do you think the political unrest exacerbated the spread?

Yes. We’re almost half way through our second year of pandemic and there won’t be any real end until 70 – 80% of the entire world’s population is vaccinated. Otherwise we’ll just keep getting variants. Too depressing for words.
