As the world reels from the spread of COVID-19, countless economic and human costs are piling up.
With casual blue-collar workers forced to stay away from workplaces, older working-class Australian’s super disappearing before their eyes and a full-blown recession about to hit, things are looking pretty grim right now.
And they are about to get even grimmer after it was revealed that an Ascot mum has today been confronted by the ghastly fact that this year’s international holiday might not be going ahead.
Lorraine Silver-Spoon, from Brisbane’s leafy trust fund enclave of Ascot, has confided in The Advocate that this coronavirus is starting to get real now.
“It’s just awful. This whole thing is just awful.”
“With Italy locked down and the rest of the world a chance of following, it looks like Tuscany might not be a go in July,” sighed Silver-Spoon over a lunchtime glass of Chardonnay.
“Darren and I have been looking forward to that holiday since our trip to the Riveria, last August.”
Silver-Spoon explained that right now, she’s not even considering postponing it.
“I’m cancelling it if things get worse. It’s just too much hassle to rearrange everything.”
“We will just go to Byron or something instead, but it’s just so unfair.”
“Why did that stupid man have to eat a bat in the first place.”
“Urghhhh, so selfish.”
