People door knocking

Groups of people are knocking on doors disguised as sanitization units sent by the government. Once inside, they rob the home.

Neighbours getting visitors during lockdown

Tracey from Point England

HI, so it is very annoying to see our neighbour get visitors this evening to his house. He tells me it is ok that his sick sister stayed in the car and they tried to stay a metre apart despite his young child fist pumping one of the visitors when he knocked on the door. He said he is allowed … View moreHI, so it is very annoying to see our neighbour get visitors this evening to his house. He tells me it is ok that his sick sister stayed in the car and they tried to stay a metre apart despite his young child fist pumping one of the visitors when he knocked on the door. He said he is allowed visitors from his fellowship because he knows them and it is not at the shopping centre. Guys this is why we will end up in lockdown for more than 4 weeks can we not do this. What are our options if this keeps happening?

The Story of Ella Cooke

The Team from Auckland Museum

In the winter of 1914, Ella Cooke was looking forward to a grand adventure. The Auckland-born nurse and her twin sister Lily had just departed New Zealand in a boat bound for Vancouver, New York and finally England. She was looking forward to seeing the sights, and eventually a working holiday in … View moreIn the winter of 1914, Ella Cooke was looking forward to a grand adventure. The Auckland-born nurse and her twin sister Lily had just departed New Zealand in a boat bound for Vancouver, New York and finally England. She was looking forward to seeing the sights, and eventually a working holiday in London, or maybe Paris.

The outbreak of war in July 1914 dashed all her plans. Rather than return home, Ella joined the Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve. The work was extremely difficult, and Ella described it in her letters as 'frightfully hard'.

The story of Ella Cooke, captured below in our Online Cenotaph, is one of ceaseless dedication to nursing the ill and ailing back to health. Her work is reflected in the remarkable efforts of New Zealand's doctors, nurses and healthcare staff, who are taking every measure to ensure the ongoing safety of New Zealanders. A huge thank you to these essential workers for the incredible job they do.

How to spend our first weekend at Alert Level 4

New Zealand Government

This is a crucial time. You might be tempted to leave the house this weekend to enjoy your free time. But it’s incredibly important that you don’t revert back to ‘normal life’.

Remember why we are all taking these extreme measures. Stay home. Save lives. This breaks the chain and stops … View more
This is a crucial time. You might be tempted to leave the house this weekend to enjoy your free time. But it’s incredibly important that you don’t revert back to ‘normal life’.

Remember why we are all taking these extreme measures. Stay home. Save lives. This breaks the chain and stops the virus spreading.

How to break the chain, and protect us all:

STOP THE MOVEMENT
The virus is spread by us. It can’t move by itself. So we all need to avoid moving around as much as possible, eg:
● don't travel to and from baches or second homes
● avoid driving out of your neighbourhood
● don't travel across the country in campervans
● note that DOC has closed all of its campsites and huts.

KEEP EXERCISE LOCAL
There are very few exceptions to staying home, but exercise is one of them. Going for a walk, run or bike ride is good for your mental health. Just remember to:
● stay close to home. Enjoy your neighbourhood, but go no further
● keep it solitary, or only with those you live with
● keep a 2 metre distance from others.

DO SAFE ACTIVITIES ONLY
● Our emergency services need to be fully available to respond to COVID-19 cases. Any search and rescue operation reduces the ability of first responders to help others.
● Do your bit to help them by only undertaking safe activities, and avoiding going into areas where you could get lost or hurt and require their help. Avoid outdoor activities like swimming, surfing, tramping, or boating, hunting or hiking.

AVOID PUBLIC SPACES
● All bars, restaurants, cafes, gyms, cinemas, pools, museums, libraries and playgrounds are closed.
● Avoid places like beaches where people commonly linger, or are unable to maintain a 2 metre distance.
● Don't touch surfaces others may have touched when outdoors, like park benches or playgrounds.

When you return home carefully wash your hands, and any items you took with you outdoors.

Something I saw online and wanted to share

Regardless of what u think of this woman , whether you're labour, national , green or any other party, this woman is in charge...

Regardless of what u think of this woman , whether you're labour, national , green or any other party, this woman is in charge...

I don’t agree with everything in the package but they are trying to save New Zealander’s from what we are seeing in other countries.

Wished some events could have been done earlier but we all have to work together now to beat this virus.

She truly looks knackered, worn down and literally has the weight of New Zealand on her back.Probably spending no time with her daughter and partner .

So whilst you’re all out panic buying, spending every minute with your kids (even though most people moan about that!) and in general whinging about what she hasn't done, this woman can't do that and is attending meetings continuously, has probably had no time for her family.

The lady is trying so hard For EVERYONE

Lets show her some support because whether you like her or not she’s in charge!

Good to see not many haters posting which is a good sign.
