END OF DAY 1: 41 DAYS TO GO...AT LEAST
Cases In Victoria In Past 24 Hours: 165 (932 active cases)
Well, it is the end of Day 1 of lockdown here in Melbourne. Some good news for people in eight of the nine towers that had been in lockdown since Saturday, with eight of the towers set to be out of hard lockdown as of 23:59 tonight (as mentioned in the thread about coronavirus). Today, I have been reading an article from the latest edition of Australian Foreign Affairs that came in the mail today (yes, I am a current affairs junkie), and listened to a podcast that I downloaded last night (again, current affairs). I mostly been listening to the radio (mostly either PBS or RRR - both community radio stations here in Melbourne. I am currently listening to Son of Crawdaddy on RRR) or watching television (mostly focusing on coronavirus, although I also looked into the news around the world as well as watching 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown on SBS Viceland). I also done putting some text into a book that I am writing (about multilateralism forums in the world).
I have also begun subscribing to online news sites to keep up to date with whats happening in the world. I also checked out some sites, and there are interesting happenings throughout the world (such as the deteriorating relations between Australia and China; and talks of a summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un. Some sad news today with rapper Kanye West announcing he is throwing his hat in the race to be US President (and you thought you couldn't get worse than Trump).
What's happening tomorrow? I doing volunteer work at a homework club (their holidays program is running tomorrow) via Zoom, and despite school holidays being extended by one week here in Victoria (except for Years 11 and 12 and those who go to specialist schools), it's back to normal next week, even though like last term, it will be via Zoom. And more reading.
See you tomorrow.
