@canefan That's true for a lot of countries though.
> We are at the Green traffic light now. Just no ones told the government.
In my experience most companies / staff are isolating - for both Covid and flu. Reported flu has now peaked and is below last years levels despite being in lockdown this time last year.
This.

Yeah I've noticed a big increase in the number of people not bothering with masks now, both shop assistants and customers. I haven't worn one in ages.

I still wear them indoors. But I agree, usage is noticeably down, and non-wearers are not getting death stares from those who do. Just getting on getting on

@canefan when Mrs TR had surgery a couple of months back, she had to do a RAT for the 4 days prior to it, including the morning of surgery, and they also tested her at the hospital prior to the surgery.
I still wear a mask in shops, oddly, as much now out of habit than anything as I have one in my jacket pocket, I expect over summer when I dont need a jacket I'll stop that habit.

Probably not strictly the right thread, but man it feels like NZ wasted the lockout of tourists . Driving from Welly to Palmy today, it was pretty disappointing to see that there were still 5 x roadworks amd 3 x closed roads to deal with in a 150km trip put of the capital.
Why haven't they prioritised these sorts of works in the last 12- 18 months?

@voodoo NZTA and the Govt are copping alot of shite at the moment due to the state of our roads at the moment, years of neglect then a winter with alot of rain has created alot more issues!
It's amazing seeing the savage the rain can do eh? The potholes in Sydney are just nuts

@taniwharugby check this out - over an hour of delays to get through Otaki. That shit better have cleared by tomorrow morning!

@voodoo did it clear?
That section did. There was a new section just out of Palmy though, and then the motorway into Welly was closed from Aotea Quay - and in classic NZ driver fashion, the 3 lanes of traffic all merged into the inside lane 3kms out form the last exit
(so I drove around most of them...) -

(so I drove around most of them...)On the plus side you’re leaving Palmy to go to Wellington. That’s a massive cause for celebration.

Not stopping in Welly, straight outta here to SYD - but the wine in the lounge is going down a treat
