I am an essential services worker for last 3 days on my way to work n way back I was observing that we need to change our habits.
Life has changed quite a lot since last couple of months as Covid 19 originated.
We are feeling it for the last 3 days. Most of the people who are following the rules laid by government is a big achievement for all of us. These rules are for us n for our safety.
As a part of community worry for me n for you in coming days will be those people who are ignorant of the devastating effects of the virus n jumping around thinking they are immune. Sorry guys, noone is. It's just a matter of time.
I request these people not to stay outside or get in contact with other people outside their BUBBLE.
Just for a few weeks we have to do this...if we don't want to do it for too long.
If people who are healthy won't go for a walk or for bike ride, I don't think so it will harm them for couple of weeks. Possibly you can do some excercises at home..spend time with other family members.
I have seen kids playing outside touching so many things....can you think what this can lead to??
Suppose someone who was infected with this virus n have coughed or sneezed or touched those railings, n those innocent kids will get the virus if they are going to touch it. Just because of stupid parenting...this will then infect the whole family. n that's how it spread.
Scientists are still unsure how long this virus stays alive on different surfaces. Just for this reason, stay at home for some weeks so at least we all will break the chain. As this virus spreads quick and fast.
This will give a chance to the virus to die as it won't get in contact with anyone else.
We can do certain things:
*Only designate one person to go out to buy groceries.
*Give chance n space to people who need to walk outside due to health issues like diabetic;
*Stay local - meaning in your drive way or max in your street if it's to walk when;
*use all possible hygiene methods for yourself and in your home;
*obey the rules.
May be we don't know each other but we still need everyone...think practically..emotionally any which way you want.
n See the Big picture...We have to do it for our kids, our family, our community, our country n our world.
Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏.....please stay at home...stay safe..
We are in this together. we will fight it together.
God bless.
Hi neighbours. Remember police Sergeant Guy Baldwin, who rose to fame in 2009 for his expression "always blow on the pie"?
Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.

Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.
"This thing (coronavirus) is an invisible dragon. Please, stay home. Let's break the chain and save lives. If we follow the rules, we'll end this lockdown sooner. Let's slay this dragon, and get back to doing the things we love, like eating pies."

It can also be very frustrating at times, so I thought to help out. If you or someone you know is struggling with things like online grocery shopping, making video calls (eg Zoom, Skype), connecting to online education platforms, I am happy to offer free support over the telephone during the lockdown.

Just before the country went into lockdown at 11.59pm on Wednesday, a five-bedroom home in Auckland's West Harbour was listed on Trade Me for just $1 a week.
Owner Angela Olsen said she just wanted to do her part to help stranded families during the next four weeks and would do it for free.
What do you think of this? Do you believe other landlords would be in a position to do this too?

She had 3 plant pots pinched from her doorstep and a concrete statue of an angelic woman holding a bird in her left hand with a right hand holding a small bird bath. Sad that even at this time thugs still feel they are entitled to take from others. Hope karma gets them.
Anyone seen our cat around Danube Lane , May wood cres or Glengarry red. Missing from Tuesday ( 24/3) night. Responds to name Chotu.if seen pls txt or call 0210721112 / 0211607250.
My POOR confused little lockdown friend (not my cat! The neighbours' cat!), wondering why I can't let her in. AS I took this photo, I was saying, "I DO love you! I DO!

The neighbours' cat!), wondering why I can't let her in. AS I took this photo, I was saying, "I DO love you! I DO! It's just I can't let you in, coz lockdown rules." 😃 Hehehe. 😃 You MAY NOT be able to see this quite clearly (my dumb phone's camera sucks) but she actually has slightly crossed eyes! 😃 No I don't know her name, but I call her Tabby, coz she is one - she has a collar with a worn-out scruffy leopard print bowtie attached, and she's been visiting my garden the past two days (and the past several months, actually) and driving the mynah birds CRAZY whenever she appears!!!!!!!! No, I don't mind - she keeps me company but has to stay OUTSIDE during lockdown as she is part of someone else's bubble and I don't want to pass anything on to her owner on her fur. 😃❤️️❤️️

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)

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.
