With such a scary disease running rampant through the world, the whole human populace seems to have gone nuts. Maybe I'm one of those rare people, who just doesn't get the whole hoarding and stockpiling thing that's going on. I get that we may need o eventually ration what we have if we get placed into lockdown in our houses, but the ay people (some not all) are having physical fights in shopping centres over food and toilet paper (of all things) just blows my mind.
Instead of carrying on like pork chops, shouldn't we be caring about each other and make sure we all get through this... Hell, I've seen the Stand━I know how this ends. We need to pull together as a community and not tear each other apart. We should be firstly making sure our elderly get what they need to survive this. We need to do everything we can to make this easier on everybody.
I guess the best I can do right now is check in on my family and friends and hope you are all doing well wherever you are in your part of the world. If you can check in with me on Facebook and let me know you're still alive... Everybody here and in my family in the Gatton and Regency Downs areas are all okay at present. Emily's pregnancy is thus far going well (13weeks to go). If things change I'll keep you all updated.
For us, we haven't hit even winter yet when I'm assuming Covid-19 is going to spiral out of control for Australia, just like it has in the rest of the world. I know the Doctors in Brisbane have discovered two drugs that seem to be working on the disease, but for how long I don't know. They have predicted that the worst-case scenario for us will be 96,000 deaths in Australia... God, I hope that doesn't happen.
Our borders are closing to try and get ahead of the disease. Even our internal borders are cracking down. if you cross them you have to self-quarantine for 14 days to make sure you don't have the disease. I don't think we are going to get through this without the death toll rising. It saddens me how many families are going to be affected by this.
We all need to start practising social distancing... Heck, I'll even have to ring the hospital to see if my specialist appointment is still going ahead on April 3rd. Seeing as they don't want us all going where a lot of people will be, again I'll let you know when I find out.
I hope you all are doing well, and your families are all in the clear. Please stay safe in these trying times, and take care of yourselves, and all of those around you.
