Of Covid and Curfews: 112 Days in Lockdown, Melbourne, 2020 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Melbourne, Australia, on 6th August 2020, the Victorian government issued stay-at-home orders. What began as a six-week ordeal, lasted for 112 days. As thousands fought to survive the Covid-19 virus rampaging through their bodies, millions more battled it in a different arena. Financial ruin devastated families pitted landlords against tenants and lowered living standards. Meanwhile, an invisible virus cut a mile-wide swathe through the mental health of millions. Of Covid and Curfews is an intimate portrayal of one writer's journey through this historic lockdown. Dated entries highlight mounting statistics from around the world interspersed with reflections on ambition and parenting. This is a brave sharing of a troubled time personally and collectively.
