Coronavirus - New Zealand
-
Wow, 1 new case in what 2 weeks, many regions with none in over a month and now a solitary active case...I guess if you were a pessimist you would see the changes coming in today as a chance for a second wave, especially with a long weekend and people travelling...
But youd have to think the pressure to return to 'normal' on the Govt is immense, although I think it's fair to say some people are likely to continue social distancing for some time regardless of level.

Another day no new cases, still only the solitary active case in Auckland
-
@Mokey Well those flare ups might not show for another 10-14 days, so yeah that's the timescale 'no later than 22 June'. I reckon the L2 limits will go to the original 100 indoors 500 out soon though, the 8th is the day mentioned for re-assess L2 settings

They might have done that already. Matakana market had a 500 max rule today (according to my sister) and 100 is already in place for inside.

Not legally they didn't, but a market is not a gathering. Everyone should have been social distancing like they should do in supermarket

@Siam said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Are people more concerned about the lethal nature of getting the virus or about the self imposed restrictions if the virus pops up again?
Are we more scared of getting sick or of getting bored / broke?
Option B for me. The virus has not hit us with the intensity that it has in the NH. The economic pain will be harder to bear
-
I think many are shit scared of being put back into L4, even though I cannot see us doing so again even with a 2nd wave, equal to or worse than our 'worst' days with almost 100 a day.
Our economy would not survive (I realise it it in hospital at present...)

We will sail into level 1. The major test will be when we open up our borders
-
@canefan yeah the borders is key...I see calls for opening up some PI given some have come through well too, but that isnt what will help our economy, opening it to AUs will be what NZ needs for that...but until Aus is clear, it is too risky IMO now we have come this far.

As usual, we can't trust those aussie critters π

Social distancing pretty much ended a week ago and itβs starting to pop up in schools ... yep, might be better not to trust those critters.
-
Another day, another donut...So is it 1 new case in 14 days?
Be great for that last active case to clear up, then it is surely a matter of time before NZ is officially CV free?
-
@taniwharugby Yep, the last confirmed case is from Friday, 22 May (9th consecutive day of no new cases). The one before that was on Sunday, 17 May. The only new cases should be from overseas travel and - if quarantine works well - not lead to further transmission. Hopefully. Unless they open up the Trans- Ta$man bubble too early, of course, and we get new infections from Australia.

Media release
01 June 2020Once again, there are no new cases of COVID-19 to report in New Zealand. This is the 10th consecutive day of no new cases.
Our total number of confirmed cases remains at 1,154, which is the number we report to the World Health Organization.
Our combined total of confirmed and probable cases remains at 1,504.
The number of recovered cases is unchanged at 1,481. Only one case remains active.
There are no additional deaths to report.
There is no one in New Zealand receiving hospital-level care for COVID-19.
-
Wow, that is superb news... @Tim what are your thoughts on what this means for us and CV?
Was it June 8 the next level review? Huge pressure now to return to 'normal' now?
Have to assume there have been plenty of unreported cases who have all recovered, but it's the fact we have zero cases right now, have to assume anyone feeling flu like symptoms would have sought medical advice already too?

When did the plane load of film guys arrive from LA? You'd hope everyone of them was tested?
The Level 1 no later than 22nd, but Bloomfield etc want the full 2 cycles (28 days) in level 2. So I am not sure if we'll get Level 1 on/announced the 8th. But maybe back to the original L2 100 indoors/500 outdoors? Either way I am certainly leaning into getting to L1, and testing everyone, crew whoever, that steps off a plane or ship. And the quarantine until 14 days (or clear result for aircrew) - Aircrew are our biggest risk, as they don't have to quarantine
