Just another flu

Debra from Milson

When people say Covid 19 is just like a flu, today I read this interesting story in Stuff about the 1918 Flu Pandemic which hit New Zealand so bad that "By early November 1918, there were 15 deaths a day in Auckland, and on November 12, this peaked to 83 deaths on a single day. By the end of the year around 1100 Aucklanders had succumbed to the virus." Taking into account that the population of Auckland was (308,766) this was a lot of deaths for the time. www.stuff.co.nz... I am sure they would have loved to have a Vaccine for the Spanish flu as we do for Covid 19, get vaccinated.

Memorial Park

Nathan from Tui Tile & Stone

Have you seen this recent addition to the children's sensory garden at Memorial Park Terrace End? It was an exciting privilege to work with the PNCC to create this special glass mosaic river with pebbles hand-painted by local school kids.
