SAY IT AGAIN

If anti-vaxxers want an end to the lockdown, then I’m staying home.

We asked you to identify this unusual structure. Reader Hemant Kumar gave the correct answer: Broken Bridge, Chennai. Built on the Adyar Estuary, it partially collapsed during a bout of bad weather and was never repaired.

Australia's plan to end lockdown involves three steps, which is more than I can say for my current exercise regime.

We are moving towards the end of lockdown but I don’t know how to re-enter society. I’m walking around like a cat in shoes.

SAFE RETURN!

Sydney mum Mohana Dhoble told her harrowing tale of reuniting with her kids, 11 and 9, stranded in locked down India.

Shobha Krishnan wrote: Your (true) story shows that a lot of flippant comments are made by the public without actually knowing the facts - so many silent operators have done the job for you! Kudos to the friends and officials who helped you reunite with your kids in time.

Brenda Freebairn wrote: So glad this is someone who appreciates lockdown and hasn’t rubbished the hotel where they are staying for 14 days. No one expected this virus and we all have to do what is right. I’m glad they have their children home with them as a mother I’d be sick with worry if it was my children

Judy Pellman wrote: Thank goodness this has a happy ending; I cannot imagine how stressful this must be.

Where In Oz

We asked, what is the only known location in Australia where this lovely Morning Glory cloud formation can be predicted and observed on a more or less regular basis?

Reader Francis Dsouza wrote in with the correct answer: The southern part of the Gulf of Carpentaria in Northern Australia is the only known location where it can be predicted and observed on a more or less regular basis due to the configuration of land and sea in the area.

You’ve got to love Australia’s three-step plan to coming out of lockdown.Step 1: we’re going to open up pubs & restaurants. Step 2: then 3 weeks after that, we’re going to consider opening the other stuff.

I prefer a few years of recession to a few years of funerals. Let the economy flatline for a while so that I don’t have to.
