j) MID-MAY 2020 SYDNEY DURING COVID-19

We have all been encouraged to download the COVIDSafe App, I think we might be up to 5 million people now.

“The COVIDSafe app helps find close contacts of COVID-19 cases. The app helps state and territory health officials to quickly contact people who may have been exposed to COVID-19. The COVIDSafe app speeds up the current manual process of finding people who have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19. This means you’ll be contacted more quickly if you are at risk. This reduces the chances of you passing on the virus to your family, friends and other people in the community.”

It seems a bit odd that it only racks when you have been in contact with someone for 15 minutes when you consider how contagious it is.

Restrictions are starting to lift a little bit now.  The Federal government introduced their plan to try and get back to normality:

Now each State has to determine what they will allow.

NSW is allowing 5 people to visit a home, and 10 people in a restaurant. For lots of restaurants this means it is not worth opening and they will wait until more people are allowed to be in the restaurant.

Schools are starting to go back, at first mainly Year 12 and only a day a week for other year groups, but schools are being encouraged to get all students back in the classroom as quickly as possible. There is also a push for people to drive instead of taking public transport or take public transport outside of peak hours.

And we are all sooo relieved the NRL is starting up again soon…

We did however have a lovely Flower Moon this month to take our minds off the madness.

I did think this was funny though:
