“…These caveats notwithstanding, this essay is a small contribution to the growing body of insights into others’ experiences in both Australia and other countries. This literature has begun to show how everyday experiences during the continuing COVID crisis were suffused with multisensory and affective feelings as human bodies came together with other humans, things, place and space and rhythms of time, and embodiment and habit were subjected to constant disruption (Lupton and Lewis, 2022; Sigley, 2020; Elswit, 2021; Thorpe et al, 2021; Mosteanu, 2021; Clark and Lupton, 2021; Thompson et al, 2020; Young, 2021; Moretti and Maturo, 2021).…”

“…They can be shared and collective experiences of feeling, but the same people in the same spaces may also be experiencing different affective atmospheres (Anderson, 2009). Space and place can feel safe, secure, pleasurable and pleasant or uncomfortable, risky, threatening or dangerous through a complex combination of elements (Edensor, 2012; Young, 2021). Research on therapeutic landscapes seeks to identify those natural or built environments, including the people and nonhuman animals who inhabit them, that contribute to feelings of safety, good health and wellbeing (Conradson, 2005).…”

“…Governing this term were senses of confinement, restriction and disturbance, exacerbated by the negative stigmas associated with prisoners, psychiatric patients and fears of intrusive state control. For many, lockdown holds connotations of punishment: when applied to the home, the term may suggest house arrest (Young 2021, 4). Alternatively, these same restrictions could be understood as safeguards, securing us as we are moved through unstable, dangerous times.…”

“…In contrast to the sharp increase in 2020, the mild increase in vacancy rates related to the 2021 lockdown shows that the Sydney CBD's residential market is stabilising. The latter demonstrates a "reoccupation" of the city and CBD related to a process of people adapting and accepting pandemic conditions (Young, 2021). The initial shock and uncertainty caused by the novel disease at the beginning of 2020 is no longer enough disincentive for the residential market.…”
