It hasn't really hit us hard yet. We haven't needed to go shopping and might be good for another week but we are running low on meat, fresh fruit and liquid soap (and snacks for me). We'll see how we go.

But our lockdown is only at its first stage. Its clear that the restrictions in my state are going to get more severe in coming weeks.

Its really just the background noise of a whole bunch of shops and industries closing and a very large number of people losing their jobs and trying to get welfare assistance from the government that's been a bit unnerving.

Also my work's actually gotten a whole lot busier due to urgent work that's tied to our government's virus response. It feels like the work I'm doing has never been more important.
