Come Saturday she will be a no go!
Surely they can't lock the Mainland down? Nothing going on down here except a bit of hunting and shooting.
Level 3 closes public hunting land. If anyone think the whole country wont be at Level 3, if not 4, after midnight tomorrow is naive. You have 28.6 hours to hit the public land!

Yep it a certain thing no doubt about it and I think it will come either later tonight or early tomorrow
The South Island should go back to level one tomorrow, my seven year old is going to nuts if he can’t play rugby Saturday And it will be canned again under level 2. At least we might still be able to go out for a whitebait.
Ahh sure
North Island can lock down
Mainland can cut the cable and watch you all drift away with not a light bulb glowing
Sadly I have to agree, I continue to hope for the best. Its gutting that the "team of 5 million" did as asked (scared in to compliance) and all was undone by our bungling burecratic masters. They would it seems struggle to get laid in a brothel even if they were all drunk!!
Wife’s been told to get homepacks ready to give out to the kids. Double check that they’ve all got the facilities at home ready for homeschooling again.
Although they’re probably being proactive rather than reactive. Better to have and not need, rather than needing and not having.
The problem is we cannot rely on the people to do what is right.
We pay taxes so that the law is upheld and what needs to be done is done, these COL fools have failed to isolate an isolated country.
How hard can it be to isolate every person entering the country?
I could do it with a couple good guys with tasers, well trained dogs and a big stick...
Good news, I just read this statement from the Game animal council. Tear into it until level 4 comes again.
Important change to Alert Level 3 rules
We have been advised that for any regions at Alert Level 3 you can now hunt on both private and public conservation land. You do need to stay within your region and stick to your bubble. Overnight trips are still not allowed and you may only hunt on foot — using quad bikes, off-road bikes, helicopters and other motorised vehicles is not allowed.
Level 2 rules remain the same.
Up-to-date information on current alert levels is available at: https://covid19.govt.nz/covid-19/current-alert-level/
I'm not making any observation on the current situation, but your final sentence toook me back to the Waikato vs 'Boks match in 1981. The protestors invaded the field, and ultimately the match was called off. It was reported at the time that a SA cop had observed that he didn't see the pitch invasion as a major obstacle, and it wasn't anything he couldn't have cleared with half a dozen cops and some dogs. No idea if it was correct or not, but it was reported here.
Go about your business wear a mask and wash your hands ...we have done the lock down. It's now about self protection ...the government can't keep us covid free ...so look after yourself and live life ...
I think they can get fucked this time around , if it happens again. We gave them 6 weeks earlier this year at the beat time of the year and what did they do ?
They made a joke of the sacrifices We made with bungling and incompetence beyond comprehension. The government has shown me they can’t control it so why bother complying with more petty bullshit. I won’t be.
Hmmm a tough one alright and I feel for ya, especially when they strip us of our rights and income, I'm a fan of being covid free tho and feel the wage subsity was fair. If you look at the USA, Brazil, Europe and now even Australia's management you have to give our Govt credit... although I'm not a fan of the coalition personally.
The trades are up and it has a lot to do with the returning citizens bringing there cash back to the NZ housing market and economy.
Managed isolation is never easy you give an inch they take a mile.
To protest like the USA would be a foolish move with the progress we have made although the thought certainly crossed my mind.
Life is to important and this Virus is a killer!
Good hunting all - hitting hills at first light:XD:
Nathan F, there might be high survival rate in the numbers that you have seen, but if CV really gets going the survival rate as you term it drops to somewhere around 70%. In simple terms this is because exposure to a small dose of virus does not overcome our immune system and we fight it off. When the community infection rate builds, people get exposed to multiple and continuous doses of the virus that overwhelms them. As an example of this remember how at one end of the scale previously healthy Doctors and Nurses were dying and at the same time elderly rest home residents were also dying.
Survival and recovery does not mean unscathed even for young people
ladies, gentlefolk, a change that happened, (or at least reported) yesterday - all - Covid cases are now being held in quarantine.
wot dis meenz (What this means) - it gives the health authorities some leeway, to either not escalate the Covid lock down levels, or decrease them.
I won't try and pre empt the announcement due to happen today (noting that the current levels expire at midnight, not midday), the options in my view, could be to either increase lvls or decrease lvls.
_____
If I were to wonder what could make the lvls decrease, a scenario like the following could be figure in my wonderings :
A group of people, some of whom, have "my social life is more important that anything, even life itself", as their raison d'être ( reason for existence ) have run around the North Island even though they were exhibiting Flu-like symptoms, contacting all manner of people, who didn't and now do, have Covid.
Authority action - lock 'em all up in quarantine - no more spread from this bunch of spreaders, who couldn't be trusted to stay at home and self isolate when they got sick.
Q: if all cases are now quarantined, do we need to stay at current levels of lockdown?
_____
So rather than screaming about what the Authorities are, or are not doing, this is what I'm gonna do - I'm going to be happy if they prevent the spread of this virus.
Because I don't want to live in a country like Yokel-land where they have more than a thousand people dying every day, because some of them are more concerned about having parties and spreading conspiracy theories, than eradicating a virus that has the potential to decimate the human population in this planet.
Oh - and if you have Flu like symptoms - get to a doctor/clinic/hospital or similar.
Even though it might mean a stay, in a room in a hotel, think of the lives of other people, you could be saving, by not spreading the virus.
If you're convinced that you'll just be sick for a week or 10 days and then make a full recovery, well good luck, how does rolling the dice at a casino work out for ya?
Are you a millionaire from roulette?
All Covid cases are not quarantined.
Only the known cases are.

Other way round bud.When power is flowing north to south it is constrained by network limitations in the Bunnythorpe/Woodville section. Usually only flows south when hydro dams are low. Wellington area is largest user of southern supplied power north of Cook Straight.
Weekend hunt is still on!
And fishing :-)
I don't really understand this regional hate thing - fuck off North Islanders? Or people hating on Aucklanders?
I've heard this "cut the cable" stuff for years and where does that sort of thing actually end up?
Do you think that people in the South really want to be their own nation?
Some people produce, some people consume - I know plenty of producers that look down their noses at consumers, yet they still take their cash for goods delivered
I think that this desire for separation will end up a curse on both our houses but hey, if you guys wanna secede, go for it
If so, I am curious - how would it work out? Capital in Chch?
@308 do stop being logical.... you run risk of not fitting in.
I cant throw shit in any direction other than at OZZIE sheep shaggers.
was born up north...so interisland banter is out..
got brown blood in the genes so that banter is out....
suppose could chuck shit at gays...but lesbian porn is ok or so Jeremy reckons...
best to just get along maybe.
One thing I have learned from Tetris - when you fit in, you disappear
