1000+ Confirmed COVID 19 Cases in Australia ~ When Is The Lockdown?!?!?!
Hi Everyone,
Where do I start? Today the figures have shown that we have past 1000+ confirmed cases of COVID19 in Australia and yet no shutdown. Schools will still continue on Monday, some people still need to go to work, shops still open, cafes are in operation .... The new rules of 4sqm distance from each other are not followed anywhere I can see when I drove past cafes, public places and such, people don't seem to care.
I took my little one out to get some art stuff in case there is a lockdown, I have some things prepared to keep those two busy. The quick 1.5-hour trip we wore a mask pretty much everywhere at the shops in Chatswood. The centers and carpark were pretty quiet for the weekend and those who are out and about are just stock up on necessity. We weren't the only ones wearing a face mask and what is worse, I found a store that sold face masks priced at $100AUD for 50 of them. Yes its like gold here and it's getting a bit ridiculous how things are going. I hope this really gets resolved quickly or else I would probably think about taking the kids away from school (which some friends have done already) even though the government says they shall remain open.
In the end, we bought some craft sets and 2 games for the kids. I probably will go back again tomorrow to stock up more activities as Baby E was with me so I couldn't spend time checking out what other interesting things the boys may like during the school holiday and lockdown. We need to be prepared after seeing what other countries have gone through, it would be pleasant so we want to ensure we can be ok for it.

gosh germany is like over 20 000 cases and like "hmmmm maybe just telling people to stay home is maybe not enough but why not try again"
no idea about denmark since they stopped testing but havent left the house for a week except to go to the supermarket :D
Hi there, what a fantastic idea - I think I might order some craft stuff online in hopes it gets here before things are locked down in QLD, anything to keep the munchkins occupied.
I do have to say though if you are at all worried about your kids attending school, please pull them out yourself and don't listen to the government on this - I have pulled both of my kids out already for over a week and we did this because they are both immunocomprimised, we as a family have stayed withdrawn and only I head out to get things we need urgently until we can get listed on the priority delivery for groceries.
Think of it this way, all schools have a duty of care not only to teachers but students as well - they have to provide a reasonable safe environment and right now they simply cannot ensure that on any level, I play things in the mind set of better to be safe than sorry (especially when it's the health of your loved ones).
I hope you can get enough things to entertain your kiddos, I know I will be on the hunt as well so good luck and stay safe :D
