Life goes on pretty normal for me, just not much flying.
Mate, reality check. This disease has the capacity to seriously affect everyone. As soon as we get R>1, every person who gets it infects more than one other person.

Yesterday a Melbourne man in his 30s with no previous conditions died.

Even if you don't die, you can be crippled by the disease.
Check out this Scottish pilot - needs a lung transplant after losing 90% capacity to COVID-19. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-on-ventilator
