Reporter on Newshub saying we are thrashing the supermarkets since the PM midday announcement was made known.

I reckon 100 confirmed cases by the end of the weekend is reasonable to expect.

 

Seems likely unfortunately. Which is nuts. I didn't think it would happen that fast maybe 100 by end of March. Damn. Only speculating. But I think its highly like community spread has already occurred. We're probably already a few weeks behind the curve.

Post the announcement on Newshub they went to a commentator to discuss it. She said when she was driving home last night, through Ponsonby, that bars and restaurants were packed. She says we arent taking it seriously, the public need to play ball. 

 

There's an insane number of idiots in "The Public".

Todays midday news wont be any big lockdown or big measures announcement. Sound more like a reassurance appearance, which is also good

Just watched the MoH press briefing. I am struck by how close the deaf translator is standing next to Bloemfield. Is that a good look? Surely they could put her on the other side of the room and use an overlay or split screen to bring the images together. I also wonder about the gathered press. You can't see them but from the questions it sure sounds like there are a lot of people together in that room. Are they all two meters away from each other?

The Government CANNOT resolve this. They can manage and advise, but the only way it can be contained is the other 4.7 million of us doing the right thing. What is happening is anything good we are doing, is "despite" these idiots.

They've updated it now:

 

https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-current-cases

 

The above page now shows 53 cases, which is up 14 from yesterday's 39 cases.

it's like my optimism at times is almost phychic :)

Yeah, Im awesome.

Not that relevant that Newshub said that so I posted it, not that relevant....  :-)

one of the cases of possible CT is the wairarapa but haven't said where due to it being a small place and privacy. Wairarapa is huge in area would thought they could say the closest town.

It's also quite important to know if me and a 1000 other people have been sharing the Wairarapa train with them...

Anyone got a link to stream the upcoming announcement?

It will be on TVNZ so you can probably live watch on a browser too.
