It's only been like 3 weeks since things kicked off here. The corona series - how things deteriorated in real time. How TAL tried to deny coverage to COVID-19 victims in future policies. Is there a crisis that could've fucked the economy more than this? This crisis just reveals the cracks that were already there in our system all along. We are all predictably selfish, there's not going to be a 'socialist revolution.' Nothing happens in a consumer economy without consumers - the response has been skewed towards businesses. Who's going to buy the stuff when we bounce back. NAB employee who faked a positive coronavirus test has been let go. Social distancing and working from home in the digital age.

The thing with the coronavirus is that you're always two weeks behind the curve - so shit moves quickly. NSW, VIC and ACT flag that they're going to shut down all 'non-essential services' - but what does that mean? Thousands flood Bondi Beach flouting social distancing rules. People arrive all over Australia on cruises without testing. Stronger local measures to enforce social distancing. 9.7% of Aussie GDP is the equivalent of the proposed stimulus. Netflix told to slim down their bandwidth usage so people can work from home on our shitty NBN. Altered Carbon is pretty good if you need 10 hours of content for Netflix on a Tuesday night.
