‘Oh my goodness, some of the stories, it’s heartbreaking. It makes you realise, “I’ve really got nothing to complain about.”‘

She added that she is passing the time with, ‘a lot of Sesame Street and Bluey. We’ve also been cooking a lot, and we’ve been doing some homeschooling. 

‘You go through stages of cabin fever, but we’re lucky to have a place that we can stay in,’ she said.

Last week, Rose said that it was ‘strange’ being located in Brooklyn during the pandemic.  

‘It’s obviously strange being in New York, which is the epicentre. But we’re good. We’ve been safe and well, knock on wood,’ she told the Sydney Morning Herald.   

She added: ‘Every night you get on your balcony and everybody bangs their pots and pans for a few minutes, it’s very emotional.’
