My Iso door sign
Having been sent a text message from the Department of Health I was ordered to self isolate as I was considered a close contact of someone I was seated near on a plane. It was a scary time. We hadn’t had any lockdown measures. It was a few days after we had been told to not shake hands etc. I had sinusitis at the time. The Dept if Health Tasmania called me every day to monitor I hadn’t left the house and also ask me about my health. As I had symptoms of sinusitis that correspond with COVID-19, I had two swab tests on these 14 days of isolation. Both returned negative. -

Better World
This tweet calls of society to emerge from the pandemic and work to create a better world. Far too many factors allowed for the rise and continued spread of the virus. Society is now facing the consequences of such an intense global crisis, and some of the struggles could have been avoided had appropriate measures been taken, especially in America. Had America had paid sick leave, free health insurance, etc., maybe the spread of the virus could have been slowed. While we will never know, we must do better. We must take what we learn from this and create a better world for all. -
