Lock down easing.

[wombatie]

Our lock down started to ease at midnight so I get to see my eldest daughter and her partner tonight for the first time since the end of February.  We have video chatted but it's not the same.  We are allowed to have 5 visitors at home now and some contactless sports can resume.  Some school classes resume in a couple of weeks and all the others start back at the first week of June.

Good to hear Marg..slow here,some parks and trials open but all else is still off limits.

No visiting  as yet.But cases are staying low,so maybe it will open up soon.Myself,I am going to keep social distancing etc.

In Iowa (USA), hair salons & some other things open on the 15th, but we will sit back and see how that plays out.  The number of cases is still going up here.

You and your family are in my prayers - I havent seen my son in many months -

but i know hes safe - which is my first concern - so were putting it off to keep everyone safe.

Please be careful and take every precaution -everyone here is like family to me !

I was looking forward to lock down for a year myself. Nothing changed for me and it,s a lot quieter now! At least you have somewhere to go and visit!

Happy for you Marg. It has sure been a testing time.
We still have some regions locked down in WA and unfortunately the Goldfields is isolated from Perth still. Can't wait until I can get to the big smoke and see Dad. He is 84 and lives by himself. Mu Sisters have been great, but (there is always a but) they are both nurses, so are afraid to  get to close. My eldest sister does shopping for him and they chat through the flywire door. She leaves the stuff on the veranda for him.
Stay safe

Australia is a lot luckier than a lot of other countries, we have had only 99 deaths compared to the thousands of other countries.  Maybe because we closed our borders and no incoming from other countries so quickly but too many people are completely ignoring the rules now and when it flares up again and we are back to where we started they are going to wonder why.
I send my regards and thanks to your sisters John, it is a hard job they are doing.  I hope you get to see your dad soon.

@wombatie I agree Marg, to many thinking of themselves or just not thinking.
We only had a few cases in Kalgoorlie, most from a road gang from Perth. None at the moment and none for awhile now.
It was rather eerie with the main street shut and bugger all cars about.  Traffic is back to normal, but a lot of the cafes and coffee shops are still closed   I think some may be closed for good sadly.
Every cloud has a silver lining and mine was going to Bunnings at 7am and almost having the whole shop to myself.
Take care
