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.

Hi guys, if you have netflix and haven't seen it yet, I can highly recommend Miracle in Cell no 7. It has laughs and tears galore!! (subtitled).

It is currently $17.70 an hour, which would mean an extra $48 a week for Kiwis working full-time.

Hi neighbours, A Ponsonby psychologist's message for the community and wider NZ is: "it's OK not to be OK" during the lockdown. Dr Kirsten Wooff wrote the advice, along with 29 other mental health tips, on the footpath in chalk while out for a walk on Ponsonby Rd.

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?

"New Zealanders on 444 visas don't get access to the welfare system, but they are getting access to this Jobseeker payment," he said. "They're connected to businesses here, they have commitments here, they own and rent properties, and they are part of an ongoing economy here in Australia."
The subsidy scheme is $585.80 per week for full-time workers and $350 for part-time workers, paid in a lump sum over seven weeks. Overall, a full time worker gets a total payment of $7,029.60.

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 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.
