Today, at least, feels calmer. I spent a good chunk of the last day of our phony lockdown in line at The Alfred. My 17-year-old daughter had symptoms, and a COVID-19 test was in order. Her sister had been tested a few days earlier, came back negative, but in these times you can’t be too careful. Four hours in line was enough to send some snifflers home without a test, but the promised 72-hour wait for results proved unduly pessimistic. By 10pm she had a result: negative. Phew.
