First contact

It all started today. The first COVID cases started hitting us. So I’m going into exile from home, so I don’t infect anyone there.
Hopefully I don’t get it either, because that is a risk.

I’m trying to be the person the hospital needs. I think I can do that. I hope I can do that for the months ahead that this is likely to run for.

And I thought I should write this here today so that one day I can look back on it all.

So much happened today. We reconfigured the hospitals on call, started a COVID clinic, and opened our first COVID ward.

I just hope it’s all enough.

Welcome to the 20’s

Last ride today, most likely, probably for a while. Last visit to the gym for six months, I’m guessing.

Welcome to the 20’s.

This decade will be talked about for the next hundred years, just as the 1920’s were until now.

The world just changed

This year will be remembered for the next 100. A virus that took out economies. possibly changing the world order again.

What remains to be seen is how much it impacts Australia. This is the year that each country will stand or fall on its own.

Its all happening so quickly.

COVID-19

Well, it’s been a week of it. Mass ignorance followed by mass panic. I still think its the calm before the storm.

We need cooler heads to prevail. Panicking is not going to help.

At a federal level they are just starting to acknowledge this. Fortunately at a state level this has been tracked for a while.

Ride to Freo

Ride to the other side of Fremantle. So thats a couple more km than normal. Overall doing ok with the riding, although its only about 42 km all up.

Also – got to see a train running in on the tracks. Don’t think I’ve seen that very often – freight line only south of Fremantle.

Freo freight train.
