It's honestly strange that things are opening back up despite vaccine trials still in progress. I understand that the state hasn't had a significant number of new cases lately but Victoria's experiencing a second spike and that frightens me. Is society so depraved of the detrimental drug of capitalism that we are willing to sacrifice lives to continue consumption?

I know I am not one to talk because I've been working my retail job during these loosening restrictions. Work has been making profits and that means my managers are less harsh on the rest of us. Working also means money coming in which means one more month of being able to pay bills and save up for surgery.

The conflict between going out to earn my living and staying in for public health is something to battle every day. I wish less of us have to fight that battle soon.
