Holy shit - the stupid really is strong in my area. So many FB stories and posts about folks hitting Maccas etc, dumping rubbish and driving to other areas as local outlets are super busy. I imagine a lot of folks are far healthier than they've been (diet-wise) and are jumping back on the takeaway wagon boots and all.
I totally get wanting a treat or reward for doing it tough, and that we all crave normality. But this is just mental imo.

There were some drunk people letting off fireworks and chanting "level 3! level 3!" at midnight in Auckland CBD

@Paekakboyz we ususally have a takeaway on Friday night from the Turkish shop, we wil be doing this on Friday, no need to rush out today
I am picking up a bottle of bourbon tomorrow from the bottle shop, so tomorrow I'll be going for my 2nd drive since the 23rd of March.

Forgive my cynicism, but I don't really think the heavy takeaway consumers will have been healthier. It will have just been frozen processed shit from the supermarket fried up rather than maccas.

Some people down the road from Mum and Dads did that too. We have horses (so do others around) so my old man was pissed as he rushed around the place making sure we didn’t have any animals through fences.
I don’t know how my mother stopped him from going down there and starting something.
(NB: Only a few ppl in the country area where we live do fireworks and usually only at guy fawkes)

Damn straight. Without delving too much into my personal life the ex and I mutually decided that it was too tough under Level 4 for the boys to see me. If we had a more volatile relationship ( which we don't , she's great and we get on brilliantly ) I would have definitely argued it as I'm assuming lots of people did. Sunny day in Welly, I'm shooting out there this avo with rolls, salami and fizzy drink. Magic.

To be fair, that’s factual.
NZ herald leading this AM with “World turns to NZ”.
What’s the basis of that claim?
That it sounds better than "look at us getting an occasional international news item elsewhere" or "NZ and Australia doing well but nobody else cares".
Or in other words, none - just the usual ra ra.

3 more cases today, 1 confirmed, 2 probable.
I guess later this week and next week we will start to find out how stupid the average NZer is.... -

It's the other 1% I'd be worried about. The typical Kiwi will do this fine I reckon -- it's teh few percent of muppets who will wreck it.

I did. I went straight from the bedroom to the kitchen like I do every morning. Espresso machine is set on a timer to warm up before I drag myself out of bed.
If there's one thing I keep well prepared for, even when travelling/tramping/camping is access to palatable caffeine.
Espresso backed up by Nespresso backed up by V60 backed up by french press.I'm a prepper.
