Since my last post, there had been massive spikes in COVID-19 cases in Melbourne in the range of 350 to 450 new infections and about 5 deaths per day on the average making the city I'm in the worst hot spot in Australia. A lot of these cases are in aged care homes which means the curve will be hard to flatten in this second wave and deaths will mount.
Masks have also been made mandatory since Thursday this week and I hope that helps but I seriously don't think the current Stage 3 lockdown will only last 6 weeks as originally planned seeing how things are developing. We're still unsure what Stage 4 lockdown looks like but it won't be nice for sure. My pet peeve with masks is they fog up my glasses and come summer if we're still in this shit, it'll become much more uncomfortable.
Although things are going from bad to worse and the economy has tanked with the biggest-ever deficit since World War II, I'm fortunate that I'm still employed. However, I only have one project at the moment and so despite my best efforts to get out of this very tough one, I can't.
When real life gets unbearable, people tend to withdraw into fictional worlds and I'm so glad I decided to buy "Ghost of Tsushima", yet another highly-successful Playstation 4-exclusive game. I did a 9-day work fortnight again on the day it was released (I did that last time with "The Last of Us: Part II"). This is so I can immerse myself fully in this breathtakingly gorgeous adventure set in 13th century Japan on the island of Tsushima.
This game is a tale about a samurai's fight to save his homeland from invading Mongols i.e. though the story is fictional, it's based on true historical events and locations which makes it even better. There are three acts in this game and I've currently just started the second and absolutely love every second of it.
So before I jump back into this gaming world away from the harsh realities of the real one, here's this month's musical post featuring a topless me with a rendition of 那英's "默" which is one of my favourite songs of hers (the previous post in this new topless KTV series is here). Watch out for a very high ad-libbed note which was really fun to do!
