Here in Western Australia it got pretty hectic for a few weeks at the start of 2020 as a general wave of panic set it, and the public started panic buying before the lockdowns. We only endured a short 'official' lockdown time, however ended up working on home for the most of the rest of the year. Our hard border policy certainly helped ease the stress fairly early in the piece however, and we all had a (comparatively) easy time after that. Personally I had some additional stress while working at home - we had a kid at the start of March so it was an interesting time - but luckily for the most part our state was quite insulated from the social impacts of the covid period.
