Covid 19.

[Sandy]

Day 21 of level 2, I was watching Parliament TV last night, the opposition National party was quite upset at the fact we could be dropping to level 1 next wednesday, if there's no new cases of Covid between now and then, it's election year here this September, no doubt National wanted to score points off Labours slowness to drop a level in a hurry, IMO the majority of the public have been pretty good about following the rules for the past 9 weeks or so, we haven't had any new cases in over 3 weeks now, so I think it's time to look at dropping a lebel bow.. We've had to borrow some $60 billin to see us through to now, the sooner things get bak to normal the sooner some of thee money can be repaid instead of having to borrow more, most folk here would sooner be back to working as usual now..

Our unemployment has doubled since Covid 19 got here, it was at 4% I believe it's now 9% and businesses have had massive amounts of bailout money to pay staff wages and see business owners with an income while closed, reports are saying it could take up to 10 years for the country to get back to where it was pre Covid 19, so some careful management will be needed for some time especially as no one wants to increase taxes at present..
