I'm getting tired of 12 hour work days. On the other hand, universities are getting smashed by the closure of international borders so I'm grateful I still have a job.

Melbourne is still effectively under lockdown. No retail except supermarkets and bars and cafes (takeaway only, but you can drink and eat in parks and public spaces with a maximum of four others). At least the only curfew in our country's history is over.

We're averaging ~10 new cases every day but the Victorian Government is pretty firm in its intention of not opening further until the number of cases with an unknown source reduces to 5 over 14 days. Currently it is 12. This policy is copping a lot of flack, but the other states won't reopen their borders to us until we've got it under control.
