Please Be Careful Trying to Help Others.
Hi. Many of you may have seen the TV1 report of people putting flyers into letterboxes to try to connect with neighbours, or leaving cans of food outside their neighbours houses.
It's great to see people looking out for each other at a time of great stress, but please be very careful when you do this.
Coronavirus spreads on objects. This is what makes it hard to contain. It lives for at least 24 hours on paper and cardboard, it lives for 12 hours on metal (some studies have found it still alive 4 days later) and 4 days on plastic.
So swapping bits of paper across families is a great way to spread it. This is why businesses have stopped accepting cash.
Coronavirus on objects is a hard concept to get your head around. I've explained it to my grandson as "the person who touched that before you had snot on their hands. Do you want to pick that up."
So try to stay connected, but please avoid object sharing or if you need to - wipe clean anything you share.

Mitre 10 $20 Store Card Boxing Day Promotion
If you shopped at Mitre 10 Masterton on Boxing Day, redeemed a Mitre 10 Gift Card, but was refused a $20 Store Card for every $100 spent, contact Mitre 10 Customer & Store Support at customersupport@mitre10.co.nz.
Mitre 10 Masterton staff misinterpreted the promotion’s terms & conditions, as can be seen in the screenshot of the email I received in response to my query after my partner redeemed a $200 Mitre 10 Gift Card and was told she was ineligible for two $20 Store Cards
