Lockdown is hard

I hadn't understood how hard, although I have had conversations with people going through their seventh stay-at-home orders in Melbourne.

Being at home with my family has mostly been okay, aside from a few arguments over resources like the television and figuratively stepping on each other's metaphoric toes.

Recently I heard there's been a massive spike in cases of self-harm presenting at hospital emergency departments and wondered how to help.

At work on Monday I asked the Mayor if he'd consider making a short video.

We workshopped a script and what you see is mostly his fourth take.
