NZ 3rd safest country in the world in regards to the Wuhan flu.
Total Cases will be low if you only test 26,000 people. 1 death is good though.
ICU numbers still low too

Thank goodness. I believe, although ignorantly, that this lockdown is part of the reason for that. The next two weeks will be the real story though

More likely the border restrictions with the 14 day lag. After two weeks we'll start seeing the lockdown impact, so what a couple more days?

Yup. At 14 days in we should have a clearer indication. So we appear to be tracking well at the moment

Speak for yourself bro!

We're in partial lockdown - that is whlist most shops are closed, there are still loads of people seemingly doing what they normally do, ie driving, going to work etc.
Myself and the missus are both working from home, deep joy. Seriously though, not too bad, but we both wonder how long our workplaces can continue - supplies will eventually run out. -
There's been a lot of talk in the UK about the police over-stepping the mark when enforcing the lockdown, but this has to take the biscuit.
A Facebook friend has posted she was stopped by Plod while walking in a Plymouth park, told to go home as she "wasn't wearing the right shoes for exercise or walking". She's 5' 0" and was wearing her normal high-ish heels.
Not being one to back down and with zero fear of officialdom, she took the PC's no. and has written to the Chief Constable asking where in UK law and/or guidelines does it specify what height of heels are legal.....
The reply could prove illuminating.

@Victor-Meldrew I hope she didn't have to put her white lightening down to take his details.

Nah, she hardly drinks much at all. Former Army officer - great fun but not the sort of lady you'd want to try to push around

I believe that is North Prospect these days.
On reflection, not that much better.

Many good memories of playing on the pitch on the top of the hill. Friendly clubhouse afterwards too.

Confused...
Chatting with my best friend who used to be a copper about the current state in Australia bearing in mind this post and his point was "police officers and power are an insanely dangerous mix". The one thing we can be thankful for is the lack of involvement by the army which would be worse.

TBF, I had no problem with the Police using a drone to video people driving out to the Dales to walk their dog and using that as a reminder to stay at home wherever possible. And, sure, it will take time for their new powers to bed down.
But fining a shopheeper for vandalism after he chalked the pavement so people could keep 2m apart or going thru peoples groceries to see if their purchases were "essential" shows a complete lack of common sense, respect for the public and knowledge of the law.

True, But the long litany of cover-ups, cock-ups, corruption, falsifying evidence, colluding in sexual abuse and lying to the public the UK police have been involved in in recent years does stretch the point at times.

From a straight forward perspective the prime objective is keeping people in groups of no more than two, and being 2m apart.
The use of the word 'essential' has confused many, including the police. The key context is in respect of those activities which it is essential to keep running.
But it is fine to travel to work even if such work is not essential, unless one can WFH.
Perhaps the Police need a simple course to help them out.

I can actually confirm that the Army is heavily involved with keeping the peace. Just not in uniform.
