Why is WHO saying NZ has 2 virus cases but nothing in the news.
Edit . I see the news is now confirming the second case so I was a little early , not late.

The World Health world map and counts of this virus shows New Zealand now has two cases but I see nothing in our news. ? I know I don't read the news every 5 minutes but as this has happened in the last 12-15 hrs I would have expected something said or have I missed it.
The WHO map is updated I think daily and interesting to see the growth and international spread which would be handy for anyone on imminent international travel.

While I am here just an interesting observation on that video showing people how to wash their hands correctly. While watching I thought it was great that when finished washing people turned the tap off with clean hands , the tap that had been turned on with dirty hands. I remember when I was in Japan in the early 1980's the tap water flowed over the tap thus cleaning it. The person demonstrating how to clean hands did turn the tap off with her elbow.. Good touch but did anyone notice the door handle in the background that had to be grasped and pulled to open the door. The handle that the person prior opened with hands perhaps not washed .
If one case sent some people into a frenzy panic buying , what will two cases do .. Might be an idea to stay off the roads till it settles down. Can stay home and play ping pong with the cat.
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
