Covid Qld: Pleas for patience as lockdown continues

Tensions are rising in the suburbs, with one neighbour’s angry letter to a family caught up in the Brisbane Covid cluster now going viral.

Tensions are running high in some Brisbane suburbs where families are caught up in the latest Covid cluster, with one angry person demanding their locked-down neighbour ‘close all windows’.

An Ascot resident received the strongly-worded letter from their neighbour this week.

“Being Bris Grammar School your boys/household should be in full self isolation,” the letter read.

“Please close all windows doors accordingly facing (redacted).”

A letter that a Brisbane-local received from their angry neighbour on Thursday morning.

According to the resident, the neighbour even took photos of close family members as they dropped supplies off to their front gate while adhering to the Covid-safe regulations.

As the strictest lockdown the state has ever seen continues, online grocery shopping has spiked in Queensland meaning essential workers in supermarkets are under the pump.

The pressure is clearly being felt across the state with Woolworths Taigum putting up a sign up in their Click & Collect area begging customers not to yell at them.

“We are sorry. We are running really far behind today,” the note read.

“We are sorry but if you haven’t received a text saying that your order is ready. Our team is still picking up your order. You will get your order today it’s just going to be late.

“We are so very sorry. Please don’t yell at us.. We are doing our best.”

But it’s not all doom and gloom with one man from New Farm offering to play a balcony DJ set to liven up lockdown for his neighbourhood.

“I have been asked if I was going to DJ again off the balcony. If everyone is cool with it I am looking at doing it this Saturday night for about an hour,” the social media post read.

“Let’s get out in our balconies and turn on the lights and enjoy some music to kill the lockdown boredom.”
