    Covid has been good for:

    1. The laptop class
    2. Wealthy people
    3. Middle/upper class folks
    4. Multinational companies (Amazon)
    5. Large companies whereby they were considered essential (Bunnings)
    6. Childless couples who kept their jobs

    Covid has been devastating for:

    1. The working class
    2. Families with children
    3. Teenagers most notably those in Year 12
    4. Small/medium (non-essential) small business
    5. People in their late 20s/early 30s looking to meet someone and start a family
    6. Children who were kept out of school

    Covid has been an unprecedented process of wealth transfer from the poor to the rich. No, I'm not a Socialist.

    It's either my Old Spice deodorant... or nothing. Apologies to anyone who sits next to me on the train, you might want to social distance for your own benefit

    Unfortunately, most of my tenants are in the "devastating for" category... :(

    As I lost my sense of smell I wouldn't know if you have deodorant on or not so I have no issues sitting next to you.
