"On what some might call the margins, the coronavirus pandemic is not
just an invisible source of health and economic destruction. It is the
brutal compounding of an already bulging list of difficulties and
challenges, fuelled by longstanding structural problems: low Centrelink
payments, insecure housing and inadequate support for people with
disabilities or mental ill-health.

With the curve flattening, many are looking ahead to a future when the
pubs will reopen and the football will be back on the television.

But others – like the six people the Guardian has spoken to below – are
taking things one day at a time. And bracing for what comes next."

Via Muse, who wrote "All those we need to make more visible…and then care."
