Coming Back from COVID
Just a few words that I’ve tried to write a few times but struggled to find the right combination of letters that make sense. March 24 seems so long ago now when we had to close the doors due to government regulation - but it was time. Before long the entire coast was in lock-down with the hospital closed and things were looking pretty bleak for us in the Northwest. But this passed, due to the hard work of the health system, leadership and us, as in all of us working together. All those community groups (grow gather and give, Salvos to name but a few working behind the scenes done some amazing things in an uncertain time. All those front-line service workers who often remain invisible were putting their own safety on the line - the cleaners, the shop assistants to ensure things kept ticking over. The health staff who had to isolate, the teachers (and their students) who was thrust into the world of on-line learning. There are so many that done so much for us all, that got us to where we are now.
Gradually things got better, as the virus wave receded the lock down got lifted in stages. We were busy behind the scenes hopeful that we would soon reopen.The odd message of support was greatly appreciated As things eased we were busy planning how to run a COVID safe business amidst serving packs and the odd splash of paint. But at the same time we were worried about what the economic problems meant for business across the coast including us.
Then it was time to open, to put those plans into action- and opening day was a tough day. It took longer to get things happening, longer to disinfect the packs that I thought. But from that long Saturday we learnt and we think we’ve found the balance between safety and having a great time. Its hard to describe the joy on the face of a young child hanging out for a get together at the zone with his mates, that long awaited catch up that could now happen. Down the track we will start running the family nights again, a date night (for those who want to leave the kids to some else devices) student league and a few other special events as well. But sadly as I finish typing this, the ABC Blog has just said 238 new cases in Victoria, so its not over yet.
