As the virus continues to spread, toot paper becomes scarce and self-isolation becomes an imminent reality for many workplaces, it’s easy to feel a tad overwhelmed by the pandemic. With this in mind, it’s worth reiterating that the chances of dying from the coronavirus are very low in Australia. Be mindful and sanitary, yes, but it’s also important to relax a little.
Here’s to hoping that tomorrow is slightly less eventful. At this rate, however, chances are slim.
