It seems to be settling down a little bit, the supermarket does seem fuller and less chaotic. We got our hands on the last small pack of nappies today but it shouldn’t be so hard, shouldn’t have to follow the staff member putting rogue items back on the shelves just to get them. Formula is not a massive deal, it is for many, and a lot of people are struggling we’re just at a point where we are moving from Bf to formula, midway through it and looks like we’ll have to wait. Baby Panadol is the worst of it all, been to multiple chemists, H was in tears on Saturday night, with a teething baby who isn’t a great sleeper at the best of times. Then we are made to feel bad when we ask people because “we should have been prepared”. I know we are terrible and should have had some in the cupboard!! If only we could get some in the first place!
Our neighbours are also going to keep an eye out for us. We do live in a lovely town.
What is the government doing to support the mental health of Australians doing this? Will they up the Medicare provided sessions? They better get ready for a big spike in mental health related support needed and potentially deaths. When everyone speaks of the “needy” at the moment it’s all about the aged don’t get me wrong they are in need but there is lots of younger people who will struggle too.
This is all so messed up.
Say goodbye to my new job.
Say goodbye to footy or anything fun.
Cant go on social media because this is all you hear about.
“Switch off social media” they say, well sure, and do what!? Everything is closed, cancelled or on hold.
