The grandmother who hasn’t seen her grandchildren for seven months.
The grandparents overseas who haven’t seen their newborn granddaughter who has now turned one years old.
The people who work in the city have now been working from home for the past 18 months.
The business in the city and suburbs who have had to close during lockdown and now struggling to pay the bills.
Your relatives couldn’t fly overseas to see their dying loved ones.
I was talking to a man who was on the Princess Cruise Ship. He was one of the first Australians to get COVID-19. Now 2 years later, he is still suffering from it. He said it has been one health issue after another since he got COVID-19. This made me think we keep looking at the COVID-19 case numbers, Public Health Order on restrictions, have we ever pondered about the effect on our daily life? Have we forgotten about the ones who are still suffering from this virus or worse the ones that didn’t make it?
As bad as COVID-19 has been, not a day goes by when I am not grateful for this lucky country I live in. The country which hasn’t had the huge number of deaths as some countries. It all makes you think about what and who is important to us and how we need to enjoy what we have.
