@voodoo Nope. We were part of a large group in Sydney for the ODI series and everyone paid good money to get back prior to the then isolation cut off. I paid an extra $730 for example. Had we genuinely believed we posed a risk to society upon return and should have self-isloated voluntarily upon our return, we would have all stayed there until the Monday evening as originally planned. But instead we all paid through the nose to get home to avoid isolation, and under extreme stress might I add given the situation.

@Tim said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@shark Depends on which country he came from (some were required to self isolate), and whether he was symptomatic.
The country of origin isn't relevent. Pretty sure prior to midnight on the 15th March it didn't matter where you arrived from?

@taniwharugby said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@shark I know someone who arrived back several hours prior to midnight on the 15th form Aus, he self isolated anyway, guess it depends on the person and how seriously they took things back then given how rapidly we moved from self-iso, to a soft border close to L3 to L4....15th to 25th?
We left for Sydney early on the 13th genuinely thinking it wasn't a big deal. Hell, the Crusaders game had just been moved from Japan to Brisbane, so there was no real concern about Australia. But over the course of the following 36 hours that all changed dramatically.

Speaking of the thankless task of MFAT, a couple in their 70’s from Papamoa are giving them a spray in the Bay Times because apparently they are “... so angry, disappointed, and disgusted [at] the way our government has behaved” at how long it took to get them rescued from their South American holiday in Peru.
Anyone presuming it’s as simple as chartering a flight at the moment beggars belief.

I think I discussed on one of these threads friends of mine's parents who have along with their friends ignoring the lockdown to have food and drinks together ... they all live in Papamoa.

Yeah they're behaving as if Peru were the US, or Japan, or the UK. Hello, you're in fucking Peru.

@shark The same for the Kiwis in India. A huge country with limited internal transportation options now and they probably expect a charter plane to stop at every major city to pick them up.
I never realised so many people in my neighbourhood had a dog. You get to know the regulars that walk past and most of the people I see now aren't them.

hope there isnt anything in the fact our daily update is delayed...possibly a few more deaths?
-
No, but no live announcement.
There are 13 new cases of coronavirus, the Ministry of Health has confirmed.
That brings the total number of cases to 1422.
The new cases today are made up of 8 confirmed and 5 probable.
The total number of fatalities stands at 11, after the deaths of two more patients which were announced on Friday.

How did they know about this guy so fast? Obviously not fast enough to eliminate potential transmission

@Hooroo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Quite surprised at the result on the stuff poll around whether or not we should move to L3 or stay at L4.
Quite the majority to stay at L4.
I think by Thursday, with the right controls, we should move to L3
Most likely as the government message has been if we don’t as many as 80,000 people will die, and the media haven very supportive of the full lockdown.
I suspect in a few months, of if they had phrased the question more like do you support L4 continuing even if you will lose your job, you’ll see a different result.
Or if I’m wrong, then there is a distinct lack of empathy in NZ these days. As if it doesn’t effect me then fuck small businesses?

Wonder how many folks think another couple of weeks at 4 might mean a swifter level 2 or lower status? I'd rather we started seeing the impact and working out the kinks of level 3 asap and hopefully hit a 2.5 or even 2 in May. A big thing for me is how many clusters would have to pop up to bump us back to 4. That's somewhat scary imo.
