The big test will be where we stand in about 2 weeks

Deaths and ICU levels still seem pretty low right?

I guess, with the majority of our cases being from returning travelers, a lot of them will be healthier and younger than average for the country as a whole

@Machpants yep, I think the vast majority of cases are still from people returning from overseas, meaning for the most part, community transmission is (hopefully) low or now, non-existant.

I think this is highly unfortunate. I would have thought that NWs workers would qualify for the employee's benefit?
I went to NW last night and made a point of thanking my checkout operator for what she was doing being at work, they didn't sign up to work that job in these conditions
Supermarkets haven't seen a loss of 30% of revenue, so don't qualify for the wage subsidies, and the sick leave subsidies was put on hold while they retool it to be for essential services only.
New World being owner-operated doesn't help - some will no doubt be doing more for staff than others.

Apart from the oldies returning after being dumped off cruises.

@taniwharugby Yes, all under the Foodstuffs umbrella (and On The Go as well), and only 1 store per operator.

The next major mark will be how things have progressed at the 2 week mark

@voodoo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Yep, just also reassuring to see low relates of hospitalization and serious illness relative to positive tests
I agree. The longer we stay flat the better. Wow this covid19 thing is making us all really good at reading graphs!

@taniwharugby said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@Godder them, Pak'n'save and 4 Square are owner operated arent they, and I believe they can only own 1 store too.
I spent a couple of years at Foodstuffs Head Office, yes, it is a cooperative, and all the stores are owner operated, And yes, each owner can only own a single store

looking llike our first death due to be announdced...
Is that the Nelson case?
No, the man in Nelson is still in ICU.
The woman who died was in her 70s, from the West Coast. She died this morning at Grey Base Hospital in Greymouth. She had tested positive for the virus on Friday.

I read this in the newspaper but well worth reading from a doctor on the frontline.

Foodstuffs have come to the party.
