It goes on about friendly reminder, keeping digital diary etc ... to keep track where you have been etc ...

But seriously - WTH??
I used it a week ago to get my groceries and we are supposed to be in lockdown - LEVEL 4!!!
My diary is up to date, they can see that - for crying out loud!!!

Time to turn off the reminders for the diary.

Now this is a very interesting read, and I've just started (if you like this sort of stuff)
The comparison from then to now ... well read for yourselves.
Learning all about the percentages of beneficiaries (all levels) then and now, well I'd said not much has changed per capita.
Seeing the numbers from certain years, truly shows how the economy was or wasn't running dictated by events e.g. world wars.
It just shows that we really haven't learned a great deal over the years.
Just repeating or dressing up the same mistakes, when will we ever learn?
Anyway, for those who want to peruse though the yearbook, here's the link: www3.stats.govt.nz...

There needs to be so much more thought put into these never ending Auckland lockdowns.
Luckily I have found an old pair.
