Review in 2 weeks? Talk about being asleep at the wheel. The rest of us have been trying to get on with it for months. The self isolation rules are plain stupid now. I am sure there are lots of people ignoring isolation rules, and yet where are the mass deaths? Those are observing the rules are suffering financially, mentally, and for what? Meanwhile if you have the flu, which is arguably worse than covid19 right now, you and your household are free to roam and infect others at will. Ridiculous

That last, desperate grasping of relevancy

Passengers entering NZ are expected to RAT test a couple of times in the days after they arrive. What the hell for? The focus should no longer be on covid19, but on the importance of staying home if you feel unwell untill you feel better, whatever the cause

@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.

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
