New Zealand has lifted its lockdown a little as of today, since apparently* we’ve broken the back of COVID here. Retail and hospitality is still closed, but non-consumer-facing business are allowed to re-open, so the builders are restarting work on our house renovation, and I can buy car bits and DIY stuff again.
But more importantly, food outlets are allowed to open for takeaways, so I can have MY FIRST DECENT COFFEE IN 5 WEEKS!!! Hallelujah, brothers, the good times have come again**.
*Yes, I know. But we’ve been under 10 new cases a day for over a week now, it’s about two weeks since they detected a case that wasn’t transmitted from unavoidable close contact with an
already-known case
, and testing levels are high enough that we’re probably not missing great swathes of it in the wild
. Plus we have the geographic ability to keep our borders hermetic. Against that: asymptomatic transmission, plus people are assholes. So who knows. Ask me again in a month...
**For selected values of good times - I may or may not still have a job in 12 months and I’m expecting the boss to announce blanket salary cuts in the next few weeks. But we take our victories where we can .

I’d rather be unemployed/underemployed in New Zealand than here. Enjoy that coffee though - you’ve earned it!

That’s one thing that’ll screw us, for sure . Except it’s more likely to be a Filipino or Indonesian crew member on a container ship. Supposedly port visits are all zero-contact at present , but I’m sure that’s easier said than done.
