I am going to visit Tommy when he gets his advance. I've promised. I need to visit one friend, and that should be Sam. I've said, "This is the last time. We both have to work on this." We've got 96 cases in Canberra. Canberra is 350,000 population town, so it's not worry stations yet. To tell the truth, it's become normal for me.
At first, I thought that things were going to change a lot, but they haven't really. I never really visited anyone anyway. I think I need to watch the whole news tonight, to get informed, and reaffirm the gravity of the situation. I never really got on the road often, but many people are still on the roads.
One very important thing to note is that the media haven't said where we are headed. They haven't said that we will have 1,000,000 (a million) cases, 100,000 (one hundred thousand) cases, or what we can expect in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight months, or next year, 'cos there are 8 months left in the year.
One annoying thing is it's just another thing to fuss and shop over. They aren't being frank; they are putting reasonably intelligent people on the TV acting like all we need are soft and cuddly words, and kids drawing rainbows. Each to their own, but this irritates me. It is the reason why I've been not watching the news. I might just be traipsing over to my fate - a grumpy old man. It's elitist, and not helping. If that's the propaganda that will make or break us, it'll break us.
I badly need to do a grocery shop. I might do it first thing tomorrow. I'll tell you how it went.
