Looks tentatively on track to exit L2 Sunday

@rapido they damn well should be though (that is where @MN5 lives isnt it?)
I’m away for work at the moment but can’t wait to get home. I’ll be sure not to hug or kiss any casual acquaintances

@rapido tbh the central city is so small if you have even a small % of office folks working from home it can feel pretty empty.
Felt bloody empty today. You could swing several dead cats tied together while walking along the footpath on Willis Street at lunchtime today and not hit anyone. You'd piss off some dreadlocked Greenies, mind you. Gareth Morgan, not so much.

Da fuq, I'm not a greenie but you'd piss me off. Dogs though, go for your life.

Honey Badger Saloon was closed. WTF.
That severely impaired my 5-a-week fruit/vege goal, as their "Garbage Salad" contributes heavily towards that quota. -
@taniwharugby said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
so are people wearing masks on flights?
In my experience, yes (and its still mandatory even at level 1). Air NZ won't let people board without one, and Qantas is probably the same for trips to NZ.

The two in Tauranga had a far more fleeting interaction with the case and for a much shorter time.
the worrying part is, they reckon the new variant could be passed simply by passing one another in the street
Surely this doesn't pass as "science"?
Are we basically using the same level of scientific observation that we use when booboo goes to bed to get a wicket?🙂Actually, don't answer that - I'm afraid of the answer😉
Are you questioning my skill as a wicket taker?

Wellytown to stay in L2 for further 48 hours

Interesting that the partner of this case initially tested negative, but has now had a positive test result.
I’ve been mostly ‘meh’ about this one given the partner and other close contacts had all tested negative almost immediately, as well as negative wastewater testing in Welly. I still hope to remain ‘meh’, but continue to wonder how long our luck holds with the slow vaccine rollout.

So:
- Delta
- "2609 people were classified as close or casual plus contacts"
- No further infections identified other than the man's Australian partner
Back to Level 1 in Wellington at midnight.
You can understand the panic with contagiousness like that!

@stargazer said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Maybe the fact that he had had one vaccination has something to do with not infecting more people?
If that is true, even more reason the get everyone vaccinated
