My Covid-19 ordeal in Jakarta
I wake to a room spinning violently. My eyes are open but my vision has deserted me and I suddenly feel like Im clinging to consciousness. In a panic I try to reach the door of the spare room in our Jakarta home, where I moved as my health deteriorated from Covid-19. Instead, I fall to the floor and lie there, pinned by an internal, centrifugal force.

NSW’s reopening plan is risky, and signals an end to a national approach
By abandoning the national plan, NSW’s gamble to go it alone on easing restrictions for fully vaccinated people further fractures federalism… NSW initially locked down too little and too late.
