So the latest silliness just arrived in the inbox...

Fiona from Henderson

Just received a text from from the NZ Covid Tracer
app: "It's been a week since you scanned or added to your diary"

It goes on about friendly reminder, keeping digital diary etc ... to keep track where you have been etc ...

But seriously - WTH??
I used it a week ago to get my groceries and we are supposed to be in lockdown - LEVEL 4!!!
My diary is up to date, they can see that - for crying out loud!!!

Time to turn off the reminders for the diary.
