Coronavirus Closer to Home, Literally!~

in OCD5 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone

The virus has hit me closer than what I have expected. With over 100 people infected already in Australia, we will expect to see the numbers climb. What is alarming is the resent infected high school student actually came from a school 2 mins drive from my place. It’s 1 minute drive from baby M‘s daycare. A bit worrying but we can’t do much apart from being diligent with washing our hands and keeping our hands away from our face. After the news came out, I see more people wearing masks on the buses in our area and I am one of them.

I actually stopped wear masks for some time but with many local communitiy possibly be infected already, precautions need to be made. The girl’s mum also has been tested positive with the virus and her dad is also getting tested. Depending where this family lives, we may have crossed paths in a few places as our area isn’t overly busy. The one thing reassuring is we are still young and can recover far quicker than those in the older generation. I’m more worried about my parents and in-laws so we have suggested that we see them less, maybe not see them to be sure for these 2 weeks. They are over 60 and are a risk. Winter is coming and there are already preparations that we will see more cases in the coming weeks.

Having it nearby makes us more scary - thankfully, we do not have a case in my place so far - so we enjoyed Holi today with much fun - but stay safe - mask definitely protects so you should not stop wearing them - we can recover soon but remember prevention is always better than cure.

Where are you located? Yah try to be as clean as possible and do the usual stuff I guess

I am located at Bhubaneswar , India. So far things are normal and the climate is going to be hotter now, so I think, that will help a lot.

are they going to be put on christmass island?, australias refugee island without a hospital set up as quarantine island for covid19....

The Christmas Island ones were ones from bought back from China by the Australian government from my understanding. Everyone else either self isolate or be in a hospital

I always thought of my parents as "young" but they are definitely in the over 60 group. Still, I don't get scared for them about the flu so I am trying to keep things in context.

I was thinking the same but my parents def in that category. Scares me what if I get it and I have mild symptoms or none and I pass it to them without knowing

It's getting less likely that we can stop this from spreading. Maybe the best way is to visit elderly friends and relatives, but just waving through the window and dropping off supplies so they don't need to leave the house.

It’s pretty scary coming to think of it. We had so little cases a week ago and today we got over 130 nationally. I guess more wfh 😆😆
