Quarantine day 10

Finally in doubt figures; four days to go. Yay.

They tested us for Covid-19 today. We had to stand at the door while a nurse put a swab at the back of our throat and way up each nostril. Not exactly pleasant (felt a bit like having water up my nose when swimming) but over quick enough. And if it means they'll let us out... Results in 2 days time. They wipe down our door afterwards.

Meanwhile, in Victoria the Covid situation appears to be worsening. NSW is feeling the pressure, with those who would have flown to Victoria, now coming south. And Queensland deciding to be the only state to charge for quarantine, can't be helping the situation. NSW will now only admitting 500 a day into their quarantine hotels, so I suppose we at least missed that hurdle. Meanwhile back in the UK, I'm seeing pictures of filled pubs and a packed London. Have we forgotten all about the pandemic?

Still exercising. Rubbish still mounting up outside our door. And the guard with the overpowering aftershave is back. He doesn't look up, or smile; just on his phone.
