A very important Covid-19 safety message from NZ police

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi neighbours. Remember police Sergeant Guy Baldwin, who rose to fame in 2009 for his expression "always blow on the pie"?
Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.

Hi neighbours. Remember police Sergeant Guy Baldwin, who rose to fame in 2009 for his expression "always blow on the pie"?
Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.
"This thing (coronavirus) is an invisible dragon. Please, stay home. Let's break the chain and save lives. If we follow the rules, we'll end this lockdown sooner. Let's slay this dragon, and get back to doing the things we love, like eating pies."

Resolutions and Endeavour in the Covid crisis

David Bell from Trinity-at-Waiake Methodist Church

Sometimes art, literature, films tells us far more about how to live life than churches do. I found an old Housman poem, used in the last episode of Inspector Morse, as he lay in hospital, to be a powerful reminder of truths from unlikely sources. Yet churches too can grow, adapt and change for … View moreSometimes art, literature, films tells us far more about how to live life than churches do. I found an old Housman poem, used in the last episode of Inspector Morse, as he lay in hospital, to be a powerful reminder of truths from unlikely sources. Yet churches too can grow, adapt and change for the better. The MDF woodcut was printed as a monotype sequence, The Cross in Central Otago. You can learn more about how we do theology from the link.

Small Businesses Open on First Day of Lock Down

Wendy from Browns Bay

Hmmm, I'm not clear on understanding why I saw two retail shops open today, being the first day of lock down. As a healthcare worker I was in transit to my client's home and passed a cake shop that was clearly open with customers and also a fruit and vege shop also with customers inside.

This week sees us all getting used to living at Alert Level 4. For this to work, we must all stick to the plan.

Stay home. It WILL save lives.
Let’s all remember why we are taking such extreme measures.
Staying home won’t always be easy. But the evidence tells us this is the best way to save the lives of other New Zealanders.

Finding our routines
It will take some time to build up new daily routines. That’s to be expected. We all need to be gentle with ourselves, and accept that things could be difficult for a while as we learn to adjust.

Looking after ourselves and others
Don’t forget to take time to look after yourself, and also to check-in on others. Asking someone how they are feeling is a good way to connect and show that you care.

We all need to stick to the plan
For this to work, and the effort we are all making to be worth it, we all need to stick to the plan, all the time. No exceptions.

Don’t move around
The virus is spread by us. So we all need to avoid moving around as much as possible. If you do go out for exercise or to get essential supplies, stay local. This is incredibly important. Don’t move between different areas.

Thank you for doing your bit
A massive thank you to everyone for working so hard to slow the spread of COVID-19. Together, we can and will save lives.
