What's the chat in NZ fellas? Any announcements to make an announcement planned for today? What's the talk back radio folk saying?
I assume we will get an update around 11am here from Gladys. Maybe Cindy will wait for that before reacting, though assume she's getting a constant feed from here.

@voodoo No drums beating here so far. Sydney isn't a top headline from a quick skim of Stuff and the Ferald... fingers crossed it stays that way after any 11am Sydney update!
So 1 new case (wife), 9 close contact taxts tested negative. That's positive.
The negative is that there is a missing link between the source (a traveller from the US who tested positive on Day 1 and was transferred to a health iso spot on the 26th) and the bloke.
Eek

@voodoo when is/was your flight due to depart? Hopefully not within the next 48 hours...
Unfortunately for voodoo, it was this evening.

Hopefully that might still work with the flights pausing at midnight. One way at least for now…

Board in 40mins.
Still going, after much deliberation. We REALLY don't want to get stuck as we have important kids stuff next week, but are taking the risk.
Far out, what a roller-coaster!
Good timing. Travel bubble paused from 10pm tonight.

Yep, we must be one of the last flights out.
Supposed to be a 4 night trip, but might be another 4 months in Wanaka ahead...

Based on the recent Perth experience hopefully the window reopens in less than a week. Could think of worse places to get stranded though

From Washington Post
New data from Qatar suggests that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is effective against coronavirus variants, including one first found in South Africa that can evade parts of the body's immune response. The shots are 75 percent effective at blocking that variant and 90 percent effective at preventing infections caused by the variant first detected in the United Kingdom, according to the study. The inoculation was particularly protective against severe or fatal cases of covid-19.
