What is the point of lockdown and the pain it is causing so many people if we are constantly hearing of people from Auckland travelling to other parts of the country. Is this being done on purpose. Again and again we hear of a place with a low vaccination rate and then boom someone tests positive there which drives up those taking the vaccine. When can we expect to see a case or two pop up in the west Coast which has one of the lowest vaccine rates in the SI. Must be getting close to there is no point in having more lockdowns as the cost for people and business is getting too high. Methods of living with this virus must be sort out and introduced. Anyone that watched the ICC cricket last night would have seen little fenced off areas on the grass for individual family groups which separated them from other family groups is maybe one innovated method of allowing people to attend sports or other events . Necessity is the mother of invention and it is way past time to invent methods to live with this virus that is not going to go away nor are present vaccines going to prevent infections . Or do we all go live in little boxes made of ticky tacky and all look the same.

Any crash that causes injury and worst of all a death , is a tragedy for everyone that it affects . However I just want to focus on one point that I have mentioned elsewhere previously.
That is the cycle/ walking track to Bluff. I have done it several times and did so on Saturday just past. It is a brilliant track and I have thanked all those involved , many personally as I rode past and stopped for a chat and in print. There is one massive concern I have with the close proximity to the highway in many places from the Phosphate works down . Although a massive improvement from the suicide mission of attempting to ride on the road my biggest fear is that someone risks being killed in an accident such as a truck rolling over and onto the track or as I saw when the track was nearing completion , a car that had been heading to Invercargill buried in the shrubbery outside the Phosphate works after crossing the road and over the track . Many may have not seen it as they drove past but had someone been in the wrong spot when it crossed the road it would have been the last thing they would have ever seen. That track has been sealed from the Phosphate works all the way to Bluff and is a brilliant addition which I would love to see family groups enjoy on a sunny day which they should but it doesn't need an unfortunate incident to mar all the good .
