No symptoms yet for me. My slightly moist nose and the occasional twinge in my throat are explicable from the weather abruptly turning chilly (21C, yes, I know, shush, two months ago it was 40C+). No temperature, no respirational issues.
Social things are slowly coming to a halt. They won't be holding the Sydney Easter Show which runs for the week before and after Easter because of the desire to avoid collecting crowds.
The PM advised that everyone should avoid public gatherings...starting after he's seen the opening of the footy, and after the weekend that his church has a massive in-person conference of thousands of people.
A school three suburbs away has had a student diagnosed and was closed down for a week or more. Other local schools aren't yet closed down, but everyone's on tenterhooks.
People are working from home. All kinds of telecommuting accomodations that weren't possible for disabled people are suddenly available! However, this is good for parents who might suddenly have to mind their children.
There's still shortages of certain products, to the point where supermarkets are limiting purchases per individual.
There've been more cases diagnosed in the northern suburbs of Sydney than anywhere else in Australia.
Peter Dutton, Mr. Potato Head, and Federal Immigration Minister, has been diagnosed with coronavirus. There are all kinds of jokes about sending him to the quarantine island which, incidentally, is also the island where asylum seekers are sent to rot before we deny them the right to seek safety.
Peter Dutton met with Ivanka Trump less than two weeks ago.
You're welcome.
So are we.

There's been two cases pop up in Alachua County. I can't telecommute to my job because it's an "essential" business, but they're doing everything to keep the place extra sanitized. It's a blood bank, so our normal routine is very clean, but it's even MORE clean now.
Pat and I are both healthy, so I'm hopeful this will pass us by.
