So NZ are going into full lock down as of tonight. I have to say, i've been thoroughly impressed with how the government has acted throughout the process and keeping the public informed, once shit got real. They've introduced a four level system, of which we will be reaching level 4 of tonight. "unprecedented" which appears to be the word du jour, as nothing like this has ever been introduced in NZ before. The PM has been very honest and reassuring, but not mincing about the facts. We all know that it's going to get worse, there could be deaths (please be some of the nats if it's necessary). Emphasising staying at home and self isolating.
They also have countless adds on TV / and used their mobile alert system to keep folk aware. You can't really miss it unless you try.
We were at level 2 on the weekend, which encouraged working from home, where possible and then social distancing. That changed as of Monday when we got our first community transitioned cases.
Supermarkets and pharmacies are open. Pubs, bars , take aways, restaurants etc all closed. Parks all closed, no domestic travel unless necessary. Walks / exercise are all good, but keep your two metres. We've got four weeks of this, it's gonna be long and fuck knows what happens after this.
