Get ready for the weekend.
What a difference a week makes. This time last Friday, we had only found out hours before that we were about to enter a sudden snap three day lockdown with compulsory masks and all the rest of the hard rules. Lines of panic shoppers (no need) had formed all day outside supermarkets. By Sunday, the supermarkets were restocked and quiet and the main elements of the lockdown, to enable swift contact tracing and a break in human contact were over by 6.00pm Monday - this was to prevent the spread of the more contagious UK variety of COVID which had breached containment protocols at a quarantine hotel by unknown means. Masks are still compulsory for another week or so indoors in the Greater Brisbane Area but a majority of Brisbane people are wearing them outdoors too, in the heat and humidity. Well done. It can be frustrating, but think of what the people of Melbourne went through for nearly four months and what the terrible situation is overseas right now around the globe. I am happy to live with this minor inconvenience to stop the spread.
