That would be my greatest fear if obliged to remain indoors for 14 days - potential starvation.

Definitely with 3 hungry teenagers!
Coles Online delivery and a few kind friends are helping out.

I have to say that's bollocks. Being confined to your own home after doing nothing wrong. Martial law next (though perhaps I might benefit from that, financially speaking).

There are over 28,000 Victorians currently in 14 day quarantine, and almost all of us have done nothing wrong.
We are thankful that we are healthy. Those unfortunate to have caught COVID-19 have usually done nothing wrong either.

Yay for contact tracing?

I'm grateful that NT hasn't applied quarantine requirements retroactively and so SLEH were ok with gettng home to Darwin yesterday, even though Adelaide is now declared a hotspot by NT - effective from tomorrow.

It is nothing to do with doing anything right or wrong.

We did 11 days Iso in Hawker having done nothing wrong, but doing the right thing to keep everyone safe.

Don't winge but think of the people in Indonesia, India and ICU in Australia etc. Who also did nothing wrong

Not complaining, but we are certainly doing our part in keeping everybody safe. We’re up to 179 days in lockdown now.

Richard, Nicole, I hadn't realised that - even though you'd only been in country NSW?

Did wonder what had happened when your log went quiet, but thought you must have been somewhere outback!

So what did you do for food...there's not even a supermarket in Hawker, much less online delivery?

We had enough stock and reserve food. Hawker hospital was doing Covid tests, got 2 negatives

Let me know if there's anything you need locally.

Anne is doing a great job arranging food deliveries. We had some supplies dropped off this morning so we are not going hungry.

Luckily I’ve borrowed Aislinn’s indoor training to help avoid that

Two negatives makes a positive. Didn't you learn maths at school?

Only if you're multiplying.

Thanks for thinking of us Nicole and Richard. You are very kind.

Only if you're multiplying.

It's a divisive issue.
