This came to me in the shower, as some thoughts do. The calm swirling of water, warm cascade of droplets do strange things to the mind. It helps you realise some things with an odd sense of clarity that otherwise isn't possible.
I'm currently living in a very unique time in history. It's March 2020 and the world, including Australia, is in the grip of the Coronavirus. It's still a largely unknown virus that originated somewhere from Wuhan, China PRC in late December 2019, spread across China in January, the world in February and finally Australia in early March. There are currently 59 confirmed cases in Australia, 90 thousand plus worldwide and a death rate (mortality rate) of approximately 3.4%. Not as high as the Spanish Flu over 100 years ago, but we must give due respect when it is due - it spreads during the incubation period before symptoms appear and is largely unknown. A terrible beast to handle.
Some day I might come back here and look back on how life was. To a certain extent, I'm also writing this to show that 'business is usual' probably wasn't a good approach held by many during this time. I hope I won't have to write about Australia going into anarchy, however I'm not convinced our government's approach is strong enough on this.
My name is Justin, I'm 23 years old and living in Sydney, Australia. This is my story, love in the time of Coronavirus.
