Charlie,

Thank you for clarifying that.

Here in Australia, we've had just 102 deaths in a population of 25 million. How I see it is that social distancing and only going out for essentials when needed was the most successful tool that allowed us to stay on track. We didn't use masks. Also, we didn't associate with anyone other than our own household for around 2 months. This included funerals and weddings. Only 5 people could attend weddings -- including the officials -- and only 10 people could go to funerals.

As a school teacher, I worked from home using MS Teams and taught classes online.

Right now, we are throttling back on our restrictions. I've physically been back at work for two weeks. During those two weeks, my school has gradually increased its student presence. As of yesterday, we were back with everyone onboard.

Just this week saw restaurants re-open to sit-down service with strict social distancing measures in place.

These are very strange times. I sincerely wish you and your family the best outcome.

Regards,
Noel
