SOOO many people on the roads during level 4 - absolute madness.
So, as my husband is on call for all essential businesses that use his company's services, he was called out this afternoon.
All the protocols were followed i.e. appropriate paperwork that's required, making sure that his Covid essentials bag is full of masks, sanitiser etc ...
He left to head down to South Auckland as one of the old folk's homes had a wee emergency, and was he gobsmacked to discover a massive line of cars starting from the Henderson Mall area (where the testing station is) and almost completely down the full length of Bruce McLaren Road.
He turned around and went another way.
All the way down to South Auckland, he saw two Police cars.
One on the side of the road with a hand held speed monitor and the other one overtook him on the southern motorway. That was it.
He mentioned that there were hardly any cars or foot traffic in South Auckland, East Tamaki, Papatoetoe. They were all so well behaved.
West Auckland were all in panic mode waiting for hours to be tested.
WHY????
What's wrong with all of you who waited in line today to be tested?
Could you have not waited a few days?
Absolute unorganised mayhem.
Stay calm ... PLEASE.
Waiting for hours is just a complete waste of time. That time could be spent with your loved ones or getting your partner to do all those odd jobs etc ...
We know that the Delta variant is super contagious, so please, please behave as if you have caught it and keep away from everyone or at the very least, keep your distance and wear masks and sanitise everything.
