Hullo friends!
As we enter the perinium of the year, & testing rates drop, its time for me to tell you that I have had Covid and YOU ABSOLUTELY DONâT WANT IT.
Got it in USA, had *several* negative tests between exposure and symptoms, & started showing symptoms *12 days* after

exposure. While I got a very mild case (mild in the medical sense - as in I didnât have to go to hospital), it was still a solid 14 days of FUCKING AWFUL. Raging headaches, body aches, lost my sense of taste and smell ... and I was one of the lucky ones, yâknow?
Iâm telling you all this because we need to keep testing rates up (remember when they were 67k per day?? How good was that??) and everybody in isolation needs to stay in iso for the full 14 days, because this buggar can HIDE for a long time, and incubate like a mofo.
Please please please get tested. Wollongong and Inner West and North Shore peeps specially today. Please please please limit your movements. Please please PLEASE stay and complete your 14 day isolation if youâve been exposed.
We can celebrate a great New Year when we can be sure of a great new year. You donât want to accidentally give this to somebody you love. You donât want this to drag on and on and be in our community shutting things down.
Australia has handled this whole thing *brilliantly* so far, but I have been on the other side of this. I have seen what exponential growth and complacency and crisis fatigue can do. You donât want it. Weâre better than that. Kinder. Smarter. More thoughtful.
WE CAN BEAT THIS. I believe in you!! And I want you to be able to celebrate ... in a month or two.
Alright friends. Love you all. Have a bit of cake. Go on. You deserve it.
