Covid 19.

[Sandy]

Well, as of 1.00 p.m. yesterday, (wednesday,) we had some 707 cases of Covid 19 here, some 78 folk had recovered from it then, we've had one death, and that was last weekend on the west coast of the south island.. Our new cases of confirmed covid 19 seems to be slowly dropping after 7 days of level 4 and was 64 new cases yesterday..

Being on level 4 for us means only going out for essential things like groceries or picking up any medications from the chemists of visiting the doctor, all non essential travel has been stopped and a lot of non essential businesses are cosed, that means no cafes, restaurants or takeaways, service stations are open as folk still need fuel for what little driving they're now doing..

I usually get the aircraft pass over my place on the way to or from the airport, but most flights are now cancelled seeing we;re omly allowed to travel for essential things like if there's an illness or death in the family, so there's only one or possibly two flights passing over each day instead of the usual 40 plus flights a day.. It seems strange having it so quiet over the last week, there's been very little traffic around seeing we're only allowed out to get groceries or medications, it almost feels like the world has stopped, it feels kind of eerie..
