We have a case of covid in the community up in Auckland, just one, but he was out and about for six days before getting a test, and there's no obvious link back to MIQ, which is normally where cases come from.
So our very sensible PM just shut the country down. For Auckland, seven days, for the rest of us, three days. This will stop any further spread. Hopefully.
Given the tragic situation in Fiji and Australia, who both moved too slowly and all their hard work was undone in weeks, I can't see the usual mouth breathers having a crack at the government for doing this.
As for me, I am going to make the most of it! I'm in my own home this time around with meaningful work to do. And unlike last time, when I was focussed on closing up the shop and so never got to take anything home from work, I have everything I need and we had 6 hours notice and the shop was already closed.
I was thinking today how this must have been a wee bit like living through a world war. Admittedly nobody is dropping bombs on us, but the every day life bit, where you just have to get on with it but there's this massive abnormality looming all the time - that.
