Sitting inside the Hoppers Crossing brick-veneer he bought in 1980, back when cows were over the fence and beyond them paddocks stretching towards the city, Dale Waghorne noticed something wrong with his sandwich.
It was the strasburg, he told his wife Barbara. It didn’t taste right.
A week later, he was in hospital. A day after that, Barbara was admitted too.
The Waghornes are two of the 2,267 cases of Covid-19 recorded in Wyndham, a council in Melbourne’s outer west. It has had more Covid-19 infections than any other council area in Australia.
“We ate a bit of lunch, and I said, ‘I think this meat’s off’. And that was the first thing, we started having the taste problems,” Dale says.
