Borders opening

Hi @daisy20202-7 . I don't know what the likelihood of coronavirus coming to South Australia is because I'm just a regular person with no qualifications in that area but I can tell you from a person living in Melbourne that I'd say there's still a chance of it going to the state because of the nature of the disease. I can understand your concerns fully but as much as I'd like to believe the disease can be wiped out and that certain states of Australia can remain virus free, I'm not convinced it will happen because as long as there are people travelling, whether that be interstate, Internationally or even within the state of choice, there's always a chance of someone bringing the disease into the state. Look at Tasmania recently and back in Melbourne with the Sydney based removalists for example. Those states were virus free and look at what happened with lockdowns occurring, especially for Melbourne.

I do like your idea of getting a place of your own where you can go to if you need to isolate or quarantine in, like a holiday house just for you. Personally. I'd love a little cabin where I could escape to and just be on my own. Cradle Mountain in Tasmania in winter where there's snow or a place near the Murray River are my idea of perfect places but that's just me. I think in the end, it's a great idea but it's up to you. I don't know your situation and I certainly can't forsee what's going to happen in the future so it's hard for me to give you any real advice except to say talk it over with some professional people and go from there. I hope this helps?

Take care and I wish you well with whatever you choose to do.

Hi @BlueBay . I understand your panic about borders reopening as I'm a little anxious about the shops reopening here in Melbourne as of last night. My psychologist has set me a challenge to go shopping for fun with the hardest part he believes being just getting the motivation and courage to go to the shops so I'll wait and see what happens.
Like I said to @daisy20202-7 , I think it's not safe to expect the states and territories of Australia to remain Covid-19 free as the disease is here to stay unfortunately and I've accepted that I'm going to have to live with it, not that I'm happy with that, but it's reality unfortunately. Whilst there's people in the community, whether that be travellers or just members of society in general, there's bound to be the disease in the country somewhere.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help😢

Take care, forumite friend.

Reason why am finding lockdowns and certain restrictions hard is because am at a life point of wanting own self contained space and wanting a proper shed and currently the only thing that you can do to have those may have to close for a bit and the place am living at which am mostly happy doing at moment isn't setup for it and yards not big enough

and place also isn't big enough to not be affected or quarantine separately so you don't possibly have to extend your time because you couldn't do it separately.

and want own self contained space to be able to quarantine seperate or not be affected because of a household member and just to have own space

and just trying to wait until am able to buy as what's point in paying as much in rent as to buy when you're limited.

that's why am finding lockdowns hard and certain restrictions when they happen and you never know when it will happen

if you had your own self contained space would cope better with lockdowns and certain restrictions even if it's still hard
