Fourth detected Corona case in Tasmania today. All four were recent arrivals from overseas; this one flew in from the Phillipines.

Iā€™d be surprised if they donā€™t close the airports soon. Tasmania tends towards xenophobia and quarantine-paranoia at the best of times [1]; there would probably be substantial public support for such a move.

[1] You canā€™t import seeds, animals or unworked timber into Tas without special permissions. Tassie biosecurity laws make the rest of Australia (already noteworthy for heavy-handed quarantine restrictions) look relaxed.

There are a whole bunch of bio-nasties that donā€™t exist here, and they like to keep it that way.

How the heck do you stockpile bananas? Freeze them and make banana bread?

Socially distanced from those bananas which is very sensible.

We even have drive through liquor stores! Get tested and wasted at the same time, the efficiency boggles the mind.

Banana chips. Dried fruit is the way to go for emergency supply.

I recommend sun dried tomatoes too. But I always love snacking on those. Not for everyone I hear.

Fuckfuckfuck. Since Tuesday, my temperature has been slowly rising. Itā€™s now up to 99.0 F.

Plot twist: both my flu and pneumonia shots list mild fever as a side effect.

I think the same thing will happen here in my country. We had Carnaval with thousands of people partying on the streets and last tuesday a series of soccer matches were played with stadiums full of fans in several capitals.

But today the goverment of different States decided to shut down schools, universities and public offices.

I hope the panic doesnā€™t ensue.

In the summer when my garden is booming I run 2 pretty large dehydrators 24/7. I love dried stuff. My wife jokes that if I canā€™t pickle it or dry it I donā€™t know what to do with it.
