Pull up the drawbridge
We’ve all been affected by this virus. It’s inevitable and it’s unavoidable. Each of our family members is affected in different ways. My granddaughter’s husband has lost his job as a high school rowers coach. All competitions have been cancelled and there’s doubt about the Olympic Games going ahead this year. He has been working with training the Australian team,
My daughter is a child health district manager. The health department are seconding child health nurses into hospitals and onto manning the telephone information lines, leaving a huge shortage of staff. My husband and I have had to cancel our holiday to the UK and Singapore in May leaving us thousands of dollars out of pocket. Everyone I know is either working from home or has lost work. The shop shelves are bare from panicking people stockpiling, old people are missing out of everyday items and people are behaving badly.
Shops are refusing to accept cash money, asking for card transactions only, they are scared of handling money, afraid that it may be contaminated.
I’m sure each and everyone of WdC members are affected in similar ways and I hope it soon begins to teach us all to pull together instead of being selfish.
