Hi World I have been in Isolation for 3 weeks today here in New Zealand.I am a week ahead of the official government lockdown.I thought I would share some thoughts as NZ went hard early and we are now hearing we may be the only western country to totally irradiate Covid 19 over the next few weeks.
We have 4 official levels ( probably a few more unofficial) we jumped from level 2 to 4 (highest government level) in 2 days with the government declaring National disaster status all at same time and along with that special law enforcement rules.
We have been instructed to stay indoors only go out for exercise and that should be close to your house…everything is closed…No driving unless for essential food or medical items …regular police stops whereby you need a letter stating you are essential work force…..It sounds extreme but there are so many unprepared or people flaunting the rules it had to be instigated.It stops looting crime drug dealing …they stopped all hunting permits and fishing permits…Which really sucks because April is our biggest hunting month.But by doing it there are no people carrying guns or putting Search and Rescue personnel at risk.It called your “bubble”.As a result New Zealand have only 1500 cases 4 in ICU and 1 death we reached our apex over a week ago.Numbers have been level for a week.If not going down.What we are seeing is lock your self in your “bubble” as soon as possible for your own safety It’s such a relief to know at day 14 if you will be virus free.Every time you leave your bubble or have anyone thing come into you bubble your compromised.Create a
mindset that’s positive this shouldn’t be called a lock down by it a an excuse to spend quality time with your family.Everybody here has personal fitness regimes all the home DIY jobs are getting done…business are getting hit hard people will go bankrupt but as peepers you should be prepared for the world to change both socially and financially during unpresidented rimes..Unfortunately the USA didn’t act early enough we will be in lock down for officially 4 weeks but looking now more like 6 …you guys looking a lot longer.Be prepared gather info from as many trusted sources as possible then take the middle ground media government and even you mother-in-law tend to over sensationalise….and won’t ever tell you the entire truth best thing hope for best case scenario but be prepared for worse trust your preparedness…I am hence nothing about this shocks me…Everything worldwide will change in short term anyway such as we won’t be going on overseas holidays for next 12 months minimum definitely not a cruise…but enjoying the sight in NZ isn’t a hardship… good luck and stay safe….
