Auckland back to level 3

[baabits]

Hope all you jaffas stay healthy and positive

[piroska]

Positive?
Sons already got 3 months left at his work. I'd say if it goes like last time, many businesses will fold, wage help or not, that doesn't pay all their bills.

Yep we are closing the Cook straight and Chch airport so we can carry on as normal

i'm almost on the border. staff are having to go back and forth through the check points, which slows the work down a bit.
we are essential work anyway but having to deal with check points and traffic is a problem.

So why are they panic buying? Surely they have enough in their pantry to keep them going for a week at least. And why do they buy up many packs of toilet paper? What's so special about bog rolls? So why don't they do as they are being advised: shop normally? Can't understand them.

A friend who works at a supermarket said it was mainly just one race panic buying, literally going from one supermarket to another cleaning out the shelves .
Must be a culture thing. I guess if we came from a communist country with a past history of food shortages (to the point of starving) we'd have a different perspective .

Its the mad rush to get a covid test that I cant understand.
If you have zero symptoms , why would you que up for 1/2 a day to try & get a test.

Covid : the virus where you require a test to tell if you're sick or not .
The cats out of the bag now. I think its time to get a grip on the reality that we cant beat this virus . Do we go into lockdown every other month for the
next 2-3 years , or just accept that we cant keep it out & cope the best we can.

Just wondering, is anyone here using that Covid tracking app ?
That App was a disaster , why release an app that wont work on older phones ? You want everyone to use it, not just those with the latest tech.

I installed it yesterday during Cindy's 4pm party political broadcast.

I've heard it's a bit ****.
