We’ve had a bit of an uptick in community acquired cases presenting at the hospital (as opposed to hospital acquired).
A couple of COVID related deaths (both that I know of were pneumonia), a couple of people in their 30s and a couple of people from those bloody cruise ships!

My wife caught Covid on a cruise ship early this year. I followed with the virus a few days later.
We were not allowed to leave the ship in Melbourne with other passengers.
On leaving the ship with quite a lot of other sufferers we were taken to a Queue for a special bus.
There were a big number of passengers in this line-up.
In fairness to the cruise line they did supply my wife with anti-virals which must have cost them almost as much as we paid for the passage.

Son went to Perth to see Coldplay. Came home with Covid. Sigh…. Would have been happy for him to just bring back a t-shirt.
