My life in Sydney has radically changed in the last 18 months, ie from March 2020 to present (October 2021). Since this vicious virus "Covid-19"captured the world - with Australia being strongly affected - and the consequent government announcements sent we Aussies into "lockdown", it has meant isolation from each other: family members, friends, neighbours, community groups, performers, businesses and the list continues.
Personally, I am affected from being an active, participative and well-travelled senior female to mainly staying at home - except for necessities of life and 'smelling the roses'- and attaching myself to either a computer or mobile telephone screen in order to stay-in-touch and continue to be at least active in exercising both my body and brain, albeit via an assortment of online classes, webinars, meetings, etc.
For me - and I expect most people - even the small occasions of life, eg change of seasons, spring blossoms, bird sounds, fresh produce from community gardens, will never be taken for granted again. It has highlighted the great need for Freedom and human physical contact.
