Halloween QR Codes
For those of you intending to run with Halloween and trick or treating this year, I have been thinking through how best to manage things as safely as possible. I'll be investing in a huge bottle of sanitiser I think for all door knockers and perhaps dishing out (wrapped) treats with tongs myself. But most important I figured is the contact tracing. I just went on the Covid-19 website and it was an easy peasy process to apply for our own QR code. I just skipped the two bits that wanted some sort of business identification number and it all went through ok. Apparently it will be a couple of days before I am emailed the poster though, so do it before next weekend if you're wanting it for then. I debated about having a clipboard for those groups of children who don't have an adult or a smartphone with them but I'm thinking they wouldn't be comfortable leaving contact details with a total stranger so fingers crossed every group has one or the other. The link for generating QR Code posters is qrform.tracing.covid19.govt.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
