Hey Daisy - This is a remarkable allegation - There is a report of nursing homes getting $25k per death to record deaths as covid. If you are able to share some proof on this, it would change my view completely.
FWIW - For you guys over in SA the following is a short list of all the things you can do today, that we in Melbourne cannot. Go to a game of footy, go to the TAB, sit in a café and have a coffee. Go shopping with another person, have a beer in a licensed venue, with the huge imposition of having to sit down while you do it. Get a haircut, go see a movie (I think you still can over there). Travel beyond 5k's of your home, and stay out til after 8pm.
Think yourselves lucky (although that is not really the right term here) that you can still enjoy all of those things. I'd encourage you all to follow the rules, so you can CONTINUE to enjoy all of the above.
In Melbourne we are 1 week, into 6 weeks of lockdown. It's bloody challenging. Yes stay home sit on the couch, work from home. Sounds like a doddle right. We have essentially (other than about a 3 week window) had it like this since Mid March. Personally I am trying to stay positive, I am trying to encourage my mates to hang tough to see this thing out. It's a poor quality of life.
To give you a better idea, the highlight of our day, is to go on a 4k walk, which takes us past our local shops. Duck in and grab a take-away coffee, and a few groceries, then go home. So right now I am going to log into my work place and knock over a few tasks. Not because I have to, not because I want to...... but there is not much else to actually do. Fancy that, working is better than sitting on my ar$e, backing shyte horses.
Looking forward to the Port vs Richmond game tonight, and flicking between that and the cricket.
Lockdown, has got hairs on it. But so to does the daily news of several hundred cases and multiple deaths (even if they are old buggers).
Rant over.
