I must congratulate Neighbourly for providing a great conduit for community self-help related in particular to our current virus problem. Apart from their own messages this has provided many other organisations an easy avenue to assist the public in general. A few of these would be the government itself, The NZ Police, Neighbourhood Support, neighbours themselves and many other like minded organisations. Well done Neighbourly. I must admit I am not a great fan of social media but it has served its purpose well in this case.

With the current restrictions we aren’t able to print or distribute at the moment, but we are working hard on a fantastic May issue for you and it will be on sale as soon as the restrictions ease! I am hearing from so many readers right now about how their gardens have never been more important to them than they are now, so I want to ensure you get your NZ Gardener, packed with beautiful pictures, expert advice, inspiration and information as quickly as possible, so you can enjoy your own garden even more. Meanwhile, when you do your next shop, we’d love it if you could pick up a copy of the April issue which is on sale now (you can add a copy to your online shop too). As you’ve probably heard on the news it is a tough time for magazines right now, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our regular readers and (especially!) our subscribers. If you are in a position to subscribe, or share your own love of plants and gardening by buying a subscription as a gift for someone else, then we’d be incredibly grateful: mags4gifts.co.nz.... Stay safe and enjoy the extra time in your garden everyone! Jo
Its about time there was better reporting on this.
To date according to my latest figures. 1312 cases activated. 422 recovered.
That tells me that there are now 890 active cases (This is NOT reported)

Of that number 4 have died 3 of these had OTHER underlying conditions (age range is 70, 80, and 90 years)
currently 15 are Hospitalized. 5 in Intensive care (NO reporting of OTHER complications or age)
PLEASE can we have more accurate reporting on this?
You would be blown away if I was to put up the stats for the last few years of the common FLU.
Don't get me wrong.
This is a dangerous Corona Virus. But there does (For some reason) seem to be a lot of sensationalizing of it.
This is also causing HUGE Conspiracy theories of what is REALLY happening. And some of them are just mind boggling.
Hope you are all well and keeping sane in your bubbles.
Blessings to all :)

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.
If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.
ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.

Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

You can play a special part helping small businesses stay afloat during this time. Spread the word to your friends and family so that we can help as many local businesses as we can.
Thanks for being a great neighbour by being a lifeline for businesses in your community.

Incase the video won't load : Fold a paper kitchen towel, concertinered like a fan. While still flat, fold each end through a rubber band and staple, so the rubber bands hang off the ends and can be hooked around your ears. A closer fan fold will make for a closer fit.

Police will be there for you if you call us.
If you are in immediate danger and can’t call 111, leave your house and get out of harm’s way. Get to a safe distance and then ask a neighbour over a fence, or a passer-by, to call 111 for you. Your safety comes first.
It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.
