I'm trying to cling on as much to normalcy as I can. I know a few weeks, months from now things won't be the same so today and last night I spent some time playing football.
This morning I started preparing for the longer haul. I purchased 1000 facemasks from an ebay seller, reasoning that my family would need 700-800 masks to last us half a year and planning to give 200 to my girlfriend's family. To curb my pasta addiction I went and bought 3kg of pasta from North Rocks Coles and a few tins of pasta sauce- prices weren't the best however it's better than eating rice for the next few weeks.
Later on in the day I went to the gym for a brief session and played football with my old team from 2018 to get ready for the new season. I don't think the season will actually commence, but in my mind I'm trying to do as many things I still can now in the chance I might not be able to later.
NSW today has 34 cases with a fairly large cluster in the Ryde area, whilst in Toorak (VIC) a GP saw 70 or so patients including two elderly before being diagnosed. Worrying times ahead. I think that right now to combat the virus there needs to be a governmental and a citizen response - the citizen response from the general poplace isn't up to it. I think we are severely letting down seniors and other people with health risks with our blase and lax approach. My girlfriend's university society for example is holding an event two weeks from now featuring pizza and board games as a social. In my opinion this is irresponsible and doesn't give the virus proper respect - holding a food event and a board games event simultaneously would encourage poor hygeine practices.
To a certain extent I don't think I can be immune from it either - if I was overseas back in China I probably wouldn't be playing football to try and shield myself. However part of me wants to do these things, such as play football, whilst I still can.
34 cases and counting.
