    Last night there was a woman on the news talking about long distance journeys with no gas or food etc. Her comments were as ill informed as yours. For days there has been a list on the Health Dept web site: gas stations, food stops, tourist spots, motel, shops visited etc etc. It does get updated with additional detail but most of that information has been there since early on.

    Papatoetoe High School Our key advice here is to stay home and self-isolate until you receive further information from the school.
    Yes I have to agree pritch... I had a senior moment and thought stuff news was publishing facts instead of fear and opinion... If this virus is as bad as they say the govt should have wartime powers over the mainstream media and make sure the right info is published.
    There’s so much fluff and filling even if you were over that way you’d miss the info you just posted as it’s buried in so many updates....

    As for the 9am start I guess it takes time to set up faculty with all the associated osh crap but shows what a puss poor outfit any govt is at running any saga.

    This has been mentioned in the USA. The virus is working 24/7, the people fighting it are working 8.00 'til 4.00. There were suggestions that vaccinations be available 24/7. It could be done using the resources of the military but being outside the mainstream, and the litigious nature of society in the US, that may present a big hurdle to jump.

    We were told there was an existing testing facility in New Plymouth. It shouldn't take until 9.00AM for them to open for business following an alert.

    No need to Worry

    CORONAVIRUS WILL “MIRACULOUSLY” GO AWAY BY APRIL
    Donald Trump told supporters at a rally in New Hampshire Monday night that the virus will be gone by April, claiming that when temperatures rise, “the virus” will “miraculously” go away.

    no vaccinations at night, If only medical facilities were open 24 hours a day........

    Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t

    "Yet, epidemiologists say, one of the most troubling aspects of the pseudo-epidemic is that all the decisions seemed so sensible at the time.

    Dr. Katrina Kretsinger, a medical epidemiologist at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who worked on the case along with her colleague Dr. Manisha Patel, does not fault the Dartmouth doctors.

    “The issue was not that they overreacted or did anything inappropriate at all,” Dr. Kretsinger said. Instead, it is that there is often is no way to decide early on whether an epidemic is under way."

    ----------------

    Given the fallout of this pseudo-epidemic, perhaps waiting until one can identify the damned thing for sure before hitting the brakes would be a good approach.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    US Covid Death Count

    Amazing how a little political distraction can take one's focus off the Covid death rate.

    In the case of the US, it ticked over 300,00 back on 12 Dec 2020. Today, just over 2 months later, it ticked over 500,000.
