High-risk for COVID-19 complications?
Hi everyone,
Please consider doing this if you are in the high-risk group and have to go out:
Pin a piece of white cloth to your clothing. (You could even write 'At High-Risk' on it to make it clear you are vulnerable, not infected - or part of a cult)
It will alert others to the fact … View moreHi everyone,
Please consider doing this if you are in the high-risk group and have to go out:
Pin a piece of white cloth to your clothing. (You could even write 'At High-Risk' on it to make it clear you are vulnerable, not infected - or part of a cult)
It will alert others to the fact that you are in this group, as I have seen some pretty poor social distancing/not covering when coughing going on.
For all those commenting that people in this group just shouldn't go out, not everyone is able to do this e.g they lack help with things like shopping (I can't even get through to online grocery delivery), they have vital medical appointments, they have children who need some air.
Also, if everyone applied social distancing correctly, then there would be no issue with those of us in the high-risk group having a short, daily walk - a lot of us have already been quite isolated by our conditions well before C-19 showed up.
I fall into this group, yet look healthy, so it's good for people to understand we're not just talking about the obviously elderly - although I think they should do this too. The more people who do this, the sooner others will understand what it means - someone had to wear the first pink ribbons etc.
There are already great people out there 'acting like they have COVID-19' as suggested by our PM. This is a quick, visual reminder, for those who aren't.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS IDEA, PLEASE JUST IGNORE IT. I'M SIMPLY ATTEMPTING TO HELP FELLOW KIWIS IN MY POSITION NEGOTIATE A FRIGHTENING TIME.
REMEMBER, THIS LOCKDOWN COULD EASILY GO ON FOR LONGER, OR GET REINTRODUCED. UNTIL THERE IS A VACCINE, PROBABLY 18 MONTHS AWAY, THIS GROUP WILL REMAIN VULNERABLE EVEN WHEN THE MAJORITY GO BACK TO NORMAL DAILY LIFE .
Take care everyone.
Cheers,
Helen Morgan.

She said she did it because she wanted to uplift the community. What are people in your area doing to spread positivity during the lockdown?

Dog walking and transferring Covid19
Scientists have discovered that the Covid19 virus can be present on animal fur (if a person with it has coughed or sneezed around the dog) so it's best not to let your dog interact with other dogs when out on walks. You only have to pat your dog (who's rubbed against another dog carrying … View moreScientists have discovered that the Covid19 virus can be present on animal fur (if a person with it has coughed or sneezed around the dog) so it's best not to let your dog interact with other dogs when out on walks. You only have to pat your dog (who's rubbed against another dog carrying the virus) to then have the virus transferred to your hand and then household. I've seen this happen recently with 2 dogs being walked by different owners. It also brought the owners into close contact rather than staying 2 metres apart.

Finding our Alert Level 4 routine
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.
