The COVID diaries 10 – Schadenfreude

October 4, 2020 JamesLeave a comment

It's October. Schadenfreude season. Let's start with the obvious one - Donald Trump reportedly has Covid, along with a number of his White House staff, cronies, and trophy wife. Clearly this is justice in its purest form - that the man who by his combination of inaction and blustering incompetence has allowed the more than… Continue reading The COVID diaries 10 – Schadenfreude

The Covid Diaries 8 – I miss Iso-Life

June 1, 2020 JamesLeave a comment

Iso-Life is ending and I miss it already. A week or so ago some of the restrictions were relaxed here in Victoria.

We're sitting at something like 3000-4000 confirmed infections across Australia, which doesn't seem too bad until you realise that testing is… Continue reading The Covid Diaries 4 – Phony War

The COVID Diaries 3 – The New Normal

March 19, 2020 JamesLeave a comment

It's occurred to me that this may be the new normal. It's certainly the old normal. It's been 102 years since the 1918 flu pandemic, which has certainly got to be a record for how long we've gone without a major outbreak of disease. It's especially surprising given how interconnected the world has been for… Continue reading The COVID Diaries 3 – The New Normal
