So down here in NZ we are tightening border restrictions even further because of the new strain of Covid. We had been allowing NZ citizens and essential workers to travel here with mandatory isolation stays in Hotels for 14 days. That hasnt changed but now there is the added requirement of having a negative test within 72 hours of travel here for all other countries except for the Pacific Islands, Australia and Antartica. It looks like we are getting stricter with each month. We dont start our vaccine program until April and that is for just 750,000 people initially out of a 5 million population. We arent expected to get the majority of the population vaccinated until the end of the year. So it looks like another full year of basically isolation from tourism and general travel for us. Right now its summer and the majority of the population are pretty happy with the state of things, the economy is doing much much better than predicted, unemployment is still low but there are some clouds on the horizon and I expect people to start putting pressure on Govt to adapt by the end of the year. We desperately want everywhere else to start having some success with the virus both for them but also for our own desires. Its going to be a long year even when Im just looking in from the sidelines.
All five of the people I know who’ve had the virus still have symptoms or after effects. One couple, mid 60’s, who were in ICU in March last year still struggle with fatigue and shortness of breath.
Another, a regular client of mine, male in his late 40’s, wasn’t hospitalised first time but was admitted a month or so later still has fatigue and shortness of breath. I haven’t actually heard from him for some time now.
The others, my friend at work, 31, and his fiancé, late 20’s had it back in Oct. They both seemed to have quite a mild bout and they’re still suffering from fatigue.
The fact that my client and work friends are young (ish) and still not fully recovered is something of a concern.
Just count yourself lucky. You can either live with restrictions and without the virus, or with restrictions with the virus.
I'm glad you guys aren't taking up vaccine stock unnecessarily.
I thought cases had dropped by 20% in a week. That shows cases rising
Cases are still rising. Total in last 7 days is up 5% on previous week.

That is a great position to be in. Most countries in Europe are locked down in their homes.
My next door neighbour has long Covid. He was in hospital for 10 days. He's totally fecked and needs an oxygen machine. He can last 15 minutes without the machine and walk about 15 yards at a time. He's in his late 60s. They've told him 6 months before he'll start to feel somewhat better. You have to wonder how many years it's going to take off his life.
Sorry, having read back what I posted it looks like gloating. Its not meant that way at all. I have family up in Scotland who are older and have been in some form of lockdown or restrictins since March which bothers me. I really hope you guys in Europe get some positive news of some sort soon
The Heil being utter cuts as per usual.
Yeah it’s awful to see. My client has been so ill since sept / Oct that he’s barely been in contact.
Ive wondered about the bolded bit with my friends Mum and Stepdad. His stepdad especially has aged so much in the last 10 months.
Would be intrigued by the sample size of the 'none of that foreign muck' crowd.

Gladys not feeling the urgency for masks in the supermarket
But after putting on her mask, Gladys then lowered it below her mouth as she continued with her shop. She said: 'I find them too uncomfortable. I don't see what the fuss is, I've got a mask on, it's just not covering my nose and mouth at the moment'

A very interesting article about the first (to date) person with Covid in Italy, diagnosed from a biopsy of a mysterious skin rash:

Nice one Gladys.The number of people not wearing masks does seem to be going up a bit in my area.
Compliance with masks in shops in Ireland has been flawless in my experience. Literally never seen anyone not wearing one since it became obligatory a few months ago. Hasn’t stopped us topping the covid charts, mind you.
I do find it incredibly selfish though. What kind of twat wouldn’t put the mask over their nose/mouth for the brief time they’re walking around a shop?
It annoys me when they walk round the shop looking really pleased with themselves. Everyone thinks you're a selfish twat, no need to be smug.
1 most likely. 2 if they were being thorough.
Or they just plucked it out of their arses.
Gf came back negative just now
Mine should be the same whenever that comes.We'd just cancelled the electrician that was supposed to come fix our lights as well ffs.
I’m yet to see someone without a mask in a shop but I see idiots not covering their mouths and noses.
Also almost no one uses the hand san as they go in which I find utterly bizarre (maybe they use their own?).
There are massive differences in compliance between shops. I've concluded for example, that Sainsbury's shoppers must have far more hidden health issues than Asda shoppers - given the large numbers of people not wearing masks in Sainsbury's.
Indeed the Sainsbury's PA system plays a recorded message about "hidden disabilities" every few minutes. The Asda one plays a reminder about wearing a mask and maintaining social distance. Of course, that may just be a local picture based on a couple of (big) Sainsbury's and the local (big) Asda. It's rare to see anyone in the Asda not wearing a mask, and those that don't are almost always wearing a visor.
Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi appear to be somewhere in between but have started to toughen up again - staff on the door doing reminders, offering masks.
Is it just a matter of the local store management?
I've seen a couple at my local Coop. Usually big sweating 60 something males who look like are potentially carrying all sorts. Give them a very wide birth.
I know a couple of people who had it, not hospitalised but suffering after effects. In their case, fatigue and ‘brain fog’
Great news mate!Gf came back negative just now
We'd just cancelled the electrician that was supposed to come fix our lights as well ffs.
If I've been out and about to a few shops I may use it, but if I've driven to the supermarket and interacted with nobody I can't see how anyone is any safer by me squirting some hand sanitiser on my hands.
Especially given that those stations often have a bottleneck of people crowding round to use it in my local supermarkets and we now know that it is spread through airborne droplets more than through surfaces.
In general, my gut feeling (and I'll happily be corrected on this) is too much effort is spent worrying about hands from the period at the start of the virus when we didn't know much about it.
Ewww, for goodness sake, at that age and health you’d think they’d know better.
I always see a couple of people not wearing masks at my local Co-Op and there's no enforcement, guard at the door or anything. I now go to my Sainsbury's instead because of that and it seems pretty good there. Weird that it's so different in shops that are about 400 metres apart.
I’ve noticed that too.
Everyone wears a mask here, young, old and ancient. They have them on in the street and in the shops, because we have to wear them as soon as we leave our homes. It's been this way for months and months, and unless we miraculously have no one with asthma here, it doesn't seem to cause anyone any difficulties.
My wife's grandparents and their local community are fully on that bandwagon. Originally they all thought the vaccine was a way to kill off the OAPs, now they've softened somewhat and it's just the foreign ones that are out to get them.
Send them to the back of the queue and give it to people who actually want it.
Whilst I’m not denying it’s authenticity, the story comes from a GP who was an MP up until the last election so they may be a motive to the story
I guess it's just the area near me, which isn't all that bad actually thinking about it. They do look like the type that's not worth arguing with though. I pity the staff who work there as they are really nice people. There's supposedly a 12 person limit at the moment as well but no one I could see counting unless you are somehow supposed to do it yourself before you enter.
A lot of them are just itching to be confronted about it too.
The govt. fecked up by not mandating mask wearing back in March. People would have gone for it.
Gladys is a cnut. Don’t be like Gladys.
Am I right in saying that surface transmission of the virus is very low, and most/all comes from breathing in the bad stuff?
Ah yep and he's being derided in the comments section for being an ex-Labour MP.
It's bizarre isn't it. We haven't got a clue who makes most of the medicines we take or the jabs we've ever had, but now we're picking and choosing from what we've read on twitter or in the Sun.
