Nah, checked with family but no takers. Only option they gave me was reschedule the outgoing flights for $110, no reschedule on the accommodation or return flights. Just cut my losses and cancelled, bigger things to worry about at the moment.
I’ll try the travel insurance again next week but already know the answer.

That sucks Jack.
I have flights and accommodation booked for Singapore in August, hoping things will be sorted by then as both non refundable and travel insurance doesn’t cover it.

I feel your pain.
Pandemic is an 'Act of God'
What a cop out.
PM says don't travel but airlines say travel or lose...
Insurance says not our problem.
We are victims as well.
Health insurance said if we travel against advice they won't cover us.
As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

We’ve got Travel Insurance and pandemics are excluded in our policy (and almost every other travel insurance).
Now don’t start me on my superannuation disaster.
Did you book with credit card?

It's bullshit isn't it. My work mate has lost 30k on a European holiday, paid 2k in insurance and can't even reschedule it!

Quick morning bread run...
Local bakery running on 1/4 capacity. Not enough flour supply...
Walk into coles for some eggs. Scenes come to mind from some recent zombie apocalypse movies.
Cleaning aisle, two chinese families scratching each others faces off over a box of OMO. Not far from there queue to Aldi opening at 8.30 extended out of the shopping complex onto the car park.
Honestly wish I'd stayed home. We're in for some dark times ahead folks.

Meh! They are in for some dark times. Not me. The people who are fighting and arguing. I find it funny and just point and laugh at them. They soon realise how much of a dick they look like and stop.
People need to learn how to adapt in times like this.

Didn't get to see a Grand Prix but still managed to pick up a cold or flu.
Rang doctors and they said they are not seeing people with flu like symptoms and have to visit clinic at hospital.
The clinic apparently are only seeing people who have been overseas or have had contact with Covid 19 infected person.
Email from work saying anybody with cold or flu symptoms need doctors clearance before coming to work.
Guess I am working from home.
