Day 9 of lockdown due to COVID019

Today's a Friday, and personally it's a welcome change because of my full time work. It still feels like the weekend, but there are many who would feel that this day is just another day as they face salary cuts, or even worse, unemployment. It's going to be a difficult time ahead, post COVID-19.

Even as I write this, there's a second wave of the outbreak near the Hubei province in China where this all began.

Today in New Zealand, the total number of new cases dropped to 71, bringing a total of 868.

To defeat this virus, the message is clear and simple: stay home and stay local. Walking for exercise is permitted, but keep the 2m distance when crossing paths with others, and stay in your area.

But staying at home doesn't mean isolating yourself from others. Use technology to look out for each other and keep in touch.
