the travel restrictions makes a big difference here in regional Australia - the loss of the tourist dollars bites deep but basically without the constant stream of travellers you can be pretty comfortable that the people around you don't have the virus which counts for a lot. 

I have been in my own world needing lots of rest and forgotten about the virus altogether when I finally crawled out and went shopping for myself.   So there was this woman and she seemed to be stuck and I could see the tub of yoghurt I wanted to get and I reached in for it making a slight breach of the new social distancing and oh she goes and turns around, she is elderly and wearing a mask but then instead of moving away she leans in to me, friendly and starts patting me, it was sweet.  I might have been thinking so why wear a mask and then pet a stranger but I was caught up in the moment too.
