State of disaster

This afternoon Dan Andrews declared a state of disaster in Victoria. The main effect will be a curfew from 8pm to 5am, with exemptions for work and other things. Police have been given more powers to enforce. Not surprisingly, the state opposition leader can only focus on business, rather than people's lives.

It's obvious to me that is going to be a long time before things even begin to resemble life before Covid-19. I don't think things will ever be the same again.

This afternoon I had a lovely chat with Sascha from her lockdown in Sydney. She's obviously been shaken by her experience, but can see that she's done the best thing for herself.

Apart from that, today has been much like any other, plus I made a rather tasty beef casserole.
