That place beyond lockdown fatigue

The phrase ‘lockdown fatigue’ has been one of those new words or phrases that have become commonplace in our vernacular following the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.  Along with language like primary close contact, self-isolation and travel bubble, lockdown fatigue is one phrase I’m sure we are all sick of.  With the current stay at home orders in place in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia and with so many people spending more time with very few, if any, people around them this is an experience that many millions of people in Australia are experiencing.
