Yep, just also reassuring to see low relates of hospitalization and serious illness relative to positive tests
I agree. The longer we stay flat the better. Wow this covid19 thing is making us all really good at reading graphs!

@Godder them, Pak'n'save and 4 Square are owner operated arent they, and I believe they can only own 1 store too.
I spent a couple of years at Foodstuffs Head Office, yes, it is a cooperative, and all the stores are owner operated, And yes, each owner can only own a single store

looking llike our first death due to be announdced...
Is that the Nelson case?
No, the man in Nelson is still in ICU.
The woman who died was in her 70s, from the West Coast. She died this morning at Grey Base Hospital in Greymouth. She had tested positive for the virus on Friday.

I read this in the newspaper but well worth reading from a doctor on the frontline.

Foodstuffs have come to the party.

Someone on Facebook made a very brutal yet valid point; Auckland Airport now has time to make lasting and overdue runway repairs.
If their contractors are allowed to work....

And the rest of the roads in NZ.. it’s not like they are being used at the moment, but I guess Fulton Hogan prefers to only work in peak roads at peak times....

They've just finished the work in Willis St, Wellington . On replacing the broken sewer. So that continued during lockdown. Sewage is an essential service.
If the end of 4 week lockdown is staged. Would hope construction (and our bloody recycling service, and butchers and grocers) are in first tranche to restart.

the pump in our water tank has decided not to work this morning, so I had to contact a supplier to come and look at it.
After speaking to him I had to send him a text confirming my name, address and the issue, he sent a text back with H & S process aorund what we can and cant do when he is on site, and had to confirm none of us were ill.
Be interesting to see what they try to charge though...

Offer him a cup of tea and piece of home made cake when he shows up, don’t forget to film his reaction...

@nzzp well given if the pump has failed completely, will be our 3rd inside 5 years, both times just outside warranty period....
Was even a threa don here about it and the CGA....but yeah, we will have to pay what they charge, which you would hope is normal rates, given it is a Monday and they should be happy with the work.

Lots of useful graphs in this article from yesterday (29 March):
Thanks for sharing that, some great data there. Particually about the ICU beds, and where the tipping point would be.

so we got a new pump installed (he left about an hour ago)...service was 1000 times better than we have usually had from them...wait for the bill now!
