2000 close-contacts at IKEA. Two freaking thousand.

I guess they desperately needed that home redecoration then?

So now they've turned it into a proper lockdown. The sort where you don't go to IKEA or Westfield out of boredom, or because you wanted that really nice lampshade or a computer game to entertain your kids. The kind where you stay home and don't go out and run around. The type that means you are actually locked down in your location unless you have a good reason to go walkabout (work that can't be done at home, essential shopping - one person per household per day, exercise, or medical/compassionate reasons).

Can't remember if it's 5pm or midnight tonight, but it's not going to make much difference to my behaviour.

Also, dear NSW Chief Health Officer: most people don't want to be COVID-positive out of shame, they don't want to be COVID-positive because it disrupts their ability to earn money.

Also, NSW Minister for Health: go DIAF. Dollars to donuts you suggested we 'learn to live with delta in the community' to stab the Premier in the back: either within your own party, or with the voters who've been taught that 'lockdown' is a dirty thing and they're all going to hell if they participate.

I keep feeling like I should be doing more.

Yes, I know the irony.

This, too, shall pass.
