Thank you for using Neighbourly
In light of the current coronavirus situation, Stu and Evie of Kapiti Coast Meats are offering local delivery when this is required.
They sell good quality meat and would love to see you. Let's support our small local businesses.
Asking on behalf, this person who is self employed and does not earn much, but thought it would be beneficial to put the minimum required of $1050.00, to get the maximum govt contribution of $521.43.
With the recent turn of events, the original deposit is now only just over $900.00...

MY QUESTION- will this person need to deposit some more money to get the maximum $521.43 ???
...so does the govt calculate on what has been deposited or what is there now???
Finally, some sensible advice on Covid-19

“What I have seen a lot of are recommendations for how to try to avoid getting coronavirus in the first place -- good hand washing, personal hygiene and social distancing -- but what I have NOT seen a lot of is advice for what happens if you actually get it, which many of us will. So as your friendly neighborhood Nurse let me make some suggestions:
You basically just want to prepare as though you know you’re going to get a nasty respiratory bug, like bronchitis or pneumonia. You just have the foresight to know it might come your way!
Things you should actually buy ahead of time (not sure what the obsession with toilet paper is?):
Kleenex,
Paracetamol,
whatever your generic, mucus thinning cough medicine of choice is (check the label and make sure you're not doubling up on Paracetamol)
Honey and lemon can work just as well!
Vick vaporub for your chest is also a great suggestion.
If you don’t have a humidifier, that would be a good thing to buy and use in your room when you go to bed overnight. (You can also just turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steam).
If you have a history of asthma and you have a prescription inhaler, make sure the one you have isn’t expired and refill it/get a new one if necessary.
This is also a good time to meal prep: make a big batch of your favorite soup to freeze and have on hand.
Stock up on whatever your favorite clear fluids are to drink - though tap water is fine you may appreciate some variety!
For symptom management and a fever over 38°c, take Paracetamol rather than Ibuprofen.
Hydrate (drink!) hydrate, hydrate!
Rest lots. You should not be leaving your house! Even if you are feeling better you may will still be infectious for fourteen days and older people and those with existing health conditions should be avoided!
Ask friends and family to leave supplies outside to avoid contact.
You DO NOT NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL unless you are having trouble breathing or your fever is very high (over 39°C) and unmanaged with meds. 90% of healthy adult cases thus far have been managed at home with basic rest/hydration/over-the-counter meds.
If you are worried or in distress or feel your symptoms are getting worse, ring 111 and they will advise if you need to go to hospital. The hospital beds will be used for people who actively need oxygen/breathing treatments/IV fluids.
If you have a pre-existing lung condition (COPD, emphysema, lung cancer) or are on immunosuppressants, now is a great time to talk to your Doctor or specialist about what they would like you to do if you get sick.
One major relief to you parents is that kids do VERY well with coronavirus— they usually bounce back in a few days (but they will still be infectious), Just use pediatric dosing .
Be calm and prepare rationally and everything will be fine. Share this as it's great advice!"

Te Roto Drive (across from the fire station). Ask at reception if you can't find out bin out back. There are also a few large tiles, excellent for keeping weeds down in the garden.
As more people begin to self isolate and distance themselves, we'll need our neighbours support now more than ever before. The following can be printed at home and filled-in with your details to drop around your street or community.

Shops are plundered by strong ones. There are already many initiatives
Can we make a great shared one where we help out? Problem is that many of our elderly people cannot do ‘click and collect’
Maybe a telephone assist from our supermarkets??
I am sure our creative brains are all spinning with ideas and many people who currently have time at hand, could use this and sit down behind computers and telephones to help out out and offer their services
Network can be created in a day to support and honour those who need it now
And above all how do we make this known to the digital disabled people??

Hi Everyone, Daniel from Mr Watts Electrical here. Just putting it out there, if you are self isolating (as a precaution). If you have an electrical emergency (no hotwater or lights etc), I'm happy to wear whatever is necessary or whatever will make you feel safe, regardless of how out there … View moreHi Everyone, Daniel from Mr Watts Electrical here. Just putting it out there, if you are self isolating (as a precaution). If you have an electrical emergency (no hotwater or lights etc), I'm happy to wear whatever is necessary or whatever will make you feel safe, regardless of how out there is it, so I can come help you with your needs.
Just thinking people maybe afraid to make a phone call because they think whoever wont meet there safety requirements.
It can be a scary time for many, without any possible electrical drama in the mix. Don't hesitate to give me a call if you're worried about anything electrical, and we can talk through options over the phone.
Thanks
