It's already getting way to close to my family:
- My cousin is the doctor who took on Auckland's first case of COVID-19.
- I have another cousin who's daughter is in home isolation after a cheerleading squad mum tested positive after returning from US.
- Robyn's Dad is the project manager for the Baku F1 (neighbours with Iran), and is currently in Melbourne for the F1, which has been cancelled overnight.
- Yackandandah Folk Festival is next weekend (biggest town event of the year), and my Mum still has her ticket, and still intends to go...
- All the oldies in Yackandandah have been reporting feeling low on energy and lethargic since the bushfires... they will not cope well if the virus comes here.
- Hazel goes to daycare with another child whose father just returned from a work trip to Italy & France
- Oh and there is no toilet paper, eggs, or longlife milk in any local town. Infact visitors from Melbourne are stocking up on these items and taking them back to the city.
On the plus side:
- we have a deep pantry (probably 2 months worth of food)
- we have ways to nurse at home if we just get normal flu symptoms
- We have converted to a cash position instead of being in the markets (except Bitcoin, ouch)
- I take Vitamin D, Reishi, Cordyceps, He Shou Wu daily. Drink plenty of water, keep exercising
