    Just been up through Bethlehem on my exercise routine, passed 5 other regulars, about 1/4 of the usual traffic. Sitting having breakfast, no cars passed my place. Now I will see if I can get to work!
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Jeez mate, you walk in the dark?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    If, you happened to have some kind of prescience/natural inclination that has you miles from from townie fuckwits, then you're probably not too worried. Good choice I reckon.

    Phil, it sounds like you deal with the worst specimens. That must taint your view. It's an un-enviable job.
    BUT you have chosen it.
    And perhaps are taking on more stress than is good for you.
    Try not to view everyone through the same lens. I can almost guarantee that a) No thinking-grown-up-people wants covid, and
    b) no-one wants to kill someone by giving it to them.

    Despite all evidence to the contrary (and there's a LOT), I still have faith in humans to not be fucking retards. Maybe I'm just an optimist.
    Define "townie fuckwit"

    Also, @Phil_H working in the prison system will have a better, more tolerant view rather than a tainted one. He will know more than most about criminals, dignity and who is actually a low life and how is a victim of circumstance.

    Not everyone has the choice to live rural due to upbringing, skillsets etc so being "stuck in town" isn't always a choice.

    This argument seems to rage on about going out, i know how to self-isolate, ive been doing this for years and never had an accident. Getting meat to feed my family, trying to find loopholes in the system. Its getting quite dull hearing about everyones perceived personal privilege. At the end of the day, we are in a state of emergency. For once, can everyone pull together, do whats being askes FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY and stop whining.

    None of us want to be stuck inside, especially 'townie fuckwits" like me but stop acting like childish cunts and tow the line.

    Once we do as we are being asked/told (whichever fits for you) we can go back to our chosen activities and start pouring on the hate to labour and ardern again.

    Regardless; from one who had self isolated many times through lifestyle: - The common rule in the current environment is; treat every person as a threat unless they are more than two metres from you and every object as a threat until you have sterilized it.
    Applying those maxims to your movements and activities should keep you and other persons safe.
    I feel pity for those whose jobs entail unavoidable close contact with "outsiders".

    Already seen one local helicopter fly up the valley and come back again 15 mins later with just a pilot, weird to not see a deer dangling underneath it as normal.

    Second.......Coronavirus stayed on surfaces for up to 17 days on Diamond Princess cruise, CDC says

    A link..... Watch the video as well .. https://tinyurl.com/wehhy58

    @Kiwi Sapper, we need to get the message out to everyone to Quarantine goods coming into the household. If you re-read my post I am applying a two week dated quarantine. The Virus may still be detectable on surfaces after 17 days as was found in the study that you linked, and in all reality it may (RNA) be detectable in 100 years. What we don't know is for how long it is viable and can cause infection. Longer than the three days the PM tells us. Desiccating ( drying ) the virus on package surfaces should be the aim of storage

    @Moa Hunter Your concern that "goods" could hold the virus was raised a couple of weeks ago about packages from Aliexpress, China. Initially NZ Customs said they would delay processing them for a period but then went all silent....Nothing since. I did note that I received one delivery since their statement and that was not delayed.

    HOWEVER, I agree you have a valid point about this and 14 + days is probably a good starting point in view of the uncertainty and "false news."

    A proviso, treat all of the Show Pony's statements with the derision they deserve because of her ongoing history of political falsehoods.

    From speaking with the smart people, IMO this advice about desiccation is spot on. Plus, Tincture of (Elapsed) Time before opening/touching anything is our friend in this context.

    Xi-virus loves itself our warm wet places (above the waistline...) which is why it multiplies so vigorously / so early on (a thousand times the volume of SARS virus particles are shed) in the mouth, nose, nasopharynx and airway, before it then does a deep dive down to those lovely moist lungs.

    It does not love hot dry places.

    State Highway is dead, a lot of trucks and essiential vehicles going past , but nothinglike normal. Its Quite weird to be honest.
    Had a few people walking their dogs go past and a couple of people on bikes but that's it so far.

    This requires a longer answer than I can be bothered to type but lets make up a couple of quick examples about people who 'accidentally' end up behind bars. Firstly, incarceration by accident/unintention does happen. You get dragged into a scuffle in the street and end up killing someone or cause serious injury - could end up behind bars.

    How about the boy who was raised by the fist, only knows the fist and carries on this tradition - its all he knows, he has no education, maybe he's in one of the gangs, maybe he got hooked on drugs while younger and had to pilfer or rob cars to feed his habit. Circumstance is a cruel mistress.

    I take this point of view because I listen to my wife who has spent the last few years since we moved to NZ working in addiction clinics and now the prison system. What info she tells me is very sober about how people end up "inside" or addicted.

    Townie fuckwits: spend 3 hours a day in traffic, drive into each other a lot, panic buy TP. Those ones.
    Those are just fuckwits, Townie plays no part in it, fuckwits exist in high numbers rurally too I imagine.

    I live just north of wellington and I can see SH1 in the distance, traffic looks as it normally would but I went for a walk with the dog at lunchtime, its like a practice run for the rapture, odd car, a couple of people walking dogs and a couple of seniors gardening. everyone seems desperate to say hello to each other which is nice and quite comforting in these strange times. I saw 2 buses, no passengers.
