D&D and the rising pandemic

I think where I am, British Columbia (Canada), is dealing with this exactly the same as New Zealand. We seem to be seeing decent results, relative to a lot of places, including other Canadian provinces, in spite of not having anywhere near enough testing going on. (A shame, but I think we're doing all that we can - we just don't have enough tests.)

Culturally we resemble the Australians the most. Other ways we're the Canadians of the South Pacific.

Canadians of the South Pacific

I‘d watch that show.

I‘d watch that show.

I think they made it.

Screened as a kid.


Canadian Sci Fi is very good IMHO.

Hand Sanitizer is now being manufactured by piles of local distilleries. We have multiple companies building testing kits, including some in town. PPE is being built in-country as well.

One option is to delay long enough that the countries who are bootstrapping their way out of it come help once they are done locally.

Another is to start bootstrapping.

Because international trade in the key stuff to get out of this mess is being restricted.

I actually know quite a few New Zealanders. Ironically, I met most of them in Japan. I've never been to NZ, but I'd love to go.

Also, little known fact: Before Peter Jackson managed to get Lord of the Rings filmed in New Zealand, they were looking at British Columbia - another good choice for so much variety of plains/mountains/forests/etc (And a plethora of professional film crews). The main thing going for NZ over BC (aside from PJ's patriotism) was that all the terrain types are a lot closer together in NZ. (BC is a lot bigger)... Or so I've read.

Pretty much.

This beach is 15 mins from my house.

5 minutes from the beach.

I was born in "Rohan" it's a 2 hour drive away.

Two hours in another direction petrified Forest and waterfalls in native bush.

Two hours other direction it's a microclimate, vineyards, 2-3km high mountains.

The province of Ontario (Canada) released their models today.

By April 30th they expect 1600 deaths if social distancing measures are followed. If social distancing measures were not put into place that would be 6000.

By the end of the pandemic 3000 to 15000 people are expected to die due to COVID 19. If social distancing measures were not taken that number would be 100 000.

I've heard a claim that while low and asymptomatic people are half as contagious, they are 80% of the spread, because they don't isolate as well as people who are sick.

Hence; we need to test everyone, so asymptomatic people self isolate better.

Or be like the other Mr. Jackson and STAY THE F#$K at HOME!

We're doing great here in our South Pacific police state.

New housing and food policies announced for next year.

Artists impression.

The economy is doing great. Nothing to worry about.

I've got 15 good recipes for PHB and at least a dozen PHB's.
