@Virgil Parents are both immune compromised and sibling is disabled, so my already high anxiety just shot through the roof. Supermarket is an easy 10 min drive away, I didn't even check about delivery cos we are rural. Who knows how far away that might have been.
We can only hope everyone takes this lock down seriously so that the vulnerable are safe, Trouble is there’s too many covidiots out there, looks like we might have our first local case of the virus too. Our local supermarket doesn’t appear to be taking this thing seriously either.

If the NZ government can tell landlords to freeze wages and avoid evictions without good cause then they should be able to freeze prices of essential goods in a state of emergency. One of our medical supply companies raised the price of surgical masks tenfold when the crisis started to hit. I'm not sure but I imagine they did the same for all other personal protective gear. That sort of profiteering is disgusting and should be stopped

Just found out latest cases are in the town where my parents and one sibling are, so really fucked off about now.
Also did my first online shop to pick up. First available time was Wed afternoon. Added booze to order because critical.
Apparently from H&J and Redoubts bar, I hear? Your other sibling is keeping me fit online each week day.
We had to break protocols last night to save a bull. Neighbour came over to help with it and with one sitting on its head wrestling horns and other trying to find a vein, we had no chance of being apart.

@Hooroo yep. They posted about it, which was honest of them. Ha, that class is getting bigger and bigger. International too. That's when I teach the kidlets their creative writing.
I didn't realise that, neighbour told me last night as we were dealing with the bull.
I'm happy that I don't frequent either of those two bars. I only go to Bogan Tacs bar as it is the only one with a Tea And Biscuits.

I looked at click and collect or delivery but the soonest was a week out and we couldn't wait that long, so I went to the supermarket (Pak N Save) last night.
Was no drama at all. Very quiet, no queues, people respecting everyone else's space. A few couples were being told at the door only one person per trolly allowed in at a time. It was probably the least stressful shop up I've ever done.
They also had surgical masks! Woooohoooo

Fair play to Countdown, they do some good stuff.
This is really sound, food donations directly to the Sallys

So as I’ve been going to work this is the first real day of isolation for me.
Seems sweet
Had crumpets For breakfast so I’m immune Now right?
Plenty of jobs Needed doing round the house that I can ignore.
Junk tv
Gonna make baguettes later. Or not there’s plenty of time -
Wow...from Northland Police
Hi Northlanders – here’s our report card after the first couple of days of lockdown:
-
We are pleased that most people are following the Government advice and are staying home
-
There are always a few who put the rest of us at risk. Here’s a few of the bad behaviours we have seen, that are putting the health of others at risk:
-
Tuesday night, learner driver SH1, 175km/h “I was going for one last drive”. Yeah right, it could have been the last thing you ever did
-
Thursday and Friday – far too many people out for a drive with kids and partners. Just being nosey, and risking catching and/or spreading coronavirus
-
Thursday afternoon - motorbike riders in Kaitaia and Whangarei with no helmets, and speeding. If the virus doesn’t kill you your own actions might
-
Thursday evening – a fatal crash on the Oakleigh-Paparoa Road near Whangärei. Sadly this was not a necessary journey during level 4 lockdown
I’m giving Northland a rating of 7/10 so far.

@canefan that's what I thought...surely the freezer will sort that covid-19...
I read somewhere that similar types of viruses can survive 2 to 3 months in the freezer...
