It is good for a short break but yeah, if it is extended then the economy tanks.
Although interestingly the lockdowns here had quite a good effect on local businesses, cafes and restaurants and all sorts had to come up with novel ways of staying open. It is quite good now there is so much more that can be delivered or stuff outdoors
Sydney is struggling through an extended LD, here it's only until Tuesday but I have a feeling it will extend.
You're right though, it's been interesting to see how some businesses adapt. I don't always like the changes but change us inevitable. Still, many others have listed up. Survival of the fittest I guess.
It's interesting how Singapore are handling it now, like the common flu, and things seem to be stable. No closures, losses etc. Interesting.
That is interesting. I am kinda hoping now that I am double jagged that it might get the same way here. Our cases are up hugely but the death and hospitalisation rate are not. That is a positive thing. I hope you ain't at the start of it all
The vaccine roll out here has been a complete dabacle on so many levels. It'll happen slowly though.
