Thread: Total lock down in 48hours

".........Also the virus only survives 24 hours on cardboard, so a box of beer is pretty safe. ..........."

Yet another piece of flippant and false information which we can do without. Now for some FACTS and a link.

A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report indicates the strength of the novel coronavirus to live on surfaces for more than two weeks.

That's the more polite version than the one I got. I think the one I got was more to the point, even I could figure it out.

Well, at least they have their jakes on. Imagine seeing a free swinging balls truckie at 4am?

A jake is still much quieter less disruptive than a crash down the bottom of the hill because he’s run out of brakes

One guy on talkback yesterday said that there was a steady stream of cars with boats heading Taupo way

sorry .im incorrect there the virus wont survive in temp about 56deg

State of Emergency declared an hour or two back also, this is an additional measure above the lockdown which gives the police, military etc power to arrest (and hold if they want too) all you smart guys that think the rules don't apply to you... ( @Goosebayhunter ……. ) so if you think you are one of these smart people that can go fishing, go for a hunt etc because you think youre not going to affect anyone you may want to think again. I have friends and family in law enforecement and the military, and this step has been taken basically to allow them to stop and arrest you if youre on the road to somewhere and youre not completing an essential activity

Goose is infamous in the guiding industry to be a complete f***tard. No surprises here

Great common sense post by Phil

We just got pulled out of our Wanaka block 4 days early.

Was having breakfast and glassing for deer and the Squirrel came swooping in

Fact is now, we are not going away; where I work is going to be stretched to the limit; I have cancelled my leave and will remain at work. Sharon would have been far happier if I had kept the leave and stayed at home rather than having to interface with Prisoners and potential virus each day and facing the prospect of being locked down in a prison for the four weeks if they get the virus there.

The bush is safer from the virus, but if you have an accident or don't come out at the designated time, who comes looking for you? Who misses out of some other essential service, perhaps life saving, while they are chasing after you in the bush?


If you can isolate at home it is as safe as the bush. Lock the door, don't go out, don't let anyone in.

You covered some of my point....we had to roll around the floor this morning with a prisoner, who was spitting on everyone. Now I have to go home and potentially spread any germs that I caught. Not a good situation.

You also mention what would happen if I had an accident while hunting?...well I think there is more chance of getting injured at work. In fact I have been injured more at work than I ever have been out hunting. So there is risk in both going to work and going hunting scenarios. A farmer on 30,000 hectares can wander around his farm, go hunting and ride his quad around. There is also every possibility that they may have an accident, but they are not restricted. If I went to my mates farm and did the same is there actually any difference??

As I said, I will stay home. I just wanted to point out that not in every case is going hunting akin to sleeping with the devil!.. And that I can see both sides of the argument.

Mskes sense to "lockdown" at a holiday bach I reckon, especially if you have kids. Fresh sir, fishin, swimming etc and wide open spaces.

Where are all the non-self-contained camper vans heading to, let alone the contained ones. Still floating around where today's travels have taken me.

Been wondering about that too. There are a lot of bods and couples living out of these and moving around orchards normally.

people can leave their home for fresh air and for exercise, but it must be solitary and people should only spend time with people they are in self-isolation with.
