END OF DAY 22: 21 DAYS TO GO...AT LEAST
Cases in Victoria in the Past 24 Hours: 723 new cases (5385 active cases) 105 lives lost.
Today was the darkest day in the fight against coronavirus, in which there were 723 new cases here in Victoria and sadly 13 lives were lost, 10 of which were in aged care homes across Melbourne. With the increase in cases, chances of lockdown ending in a couple of weeks are getting more and more remote by the day. It looks like the second wave of coronavirus is taking its toll. What is disgusting is that tomorrow at the Shrine of Remembrance, there will be anti-mask protests, mostly by right-wing conspiracy theorists (as you may remember from my post from a couple of days ago, have cited the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the reason why they are not wearing masks, even though the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is NOT enshrined in Australian law, and how many of these people who cite this document believe in human rights for everyone?). Black Lives Matter protests forbidden, but anti-mask conspiracy theorists protests are allowed is beyond me?
In just a few hours, new restrictions will come into force in the local government areas of Colac-Otway, Greater Geelong, Surf Coast, Moorabool, Golden Plains and the Borough of Queenscliffe (you can check out the restrictions for these areas at Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | Updated restrictions - announced 30 July).
As you may remember a couple of weeks ago, my laptop crashed, wiping everything (including the operating system), including the password to my previous account (indigohex2). Well, the good news is that it was fixed with a new hard drive, so I am using it as a spare in case something happens to this one. I did a lot of the online course today, and in fact, I have just finished it. I am looking for a new one to keep me sane, as well as learn something new.
Sometimes, something that is massive and that occurs on a global level makes you reflect on what you want to do with your life. And no doubt coronavirus is making me reflect on my life. Throughout this journal, you may be aware that I hope to teach English in South Korea. Well, throughout the coronavirus pandemic, I have been questioning whether it is a good idea (I struggled in a TESOL course I did last year, so I am wondering if teaching English is for me), and while going to Korea is still a goal for me, I am beginning to wonder should I do a course there and hopefully get a job there afterwards, or stick with my intended goal of teaching English. I know there are a lot of videos on YouTube about people getting non-teaching jobs in Korea, including the media. I remember in 2016, I hosted a show on campus radio and I enjoyed it, so I feel that the media may be a better option for me.
TOMORROW: Study Korean and listen to the radio.
See you tomorrow.
