Seems to be around 10% of everyone else, 5% overall.

Agreed. However, a higher percentage would be hospitalized if the hospitals weren't so overwhelmed.

True.

Government's ponied up money for a food bank.

Auckland's Spark Arena becomes huge foodbank during lockdown

An entire sports stadium in Auckland has been transformed into a food bank to help feed thousands of households going hungry during the lockdown. As New Zealand's cases of Covid-19 start to level out, the number of people struggling to get food on the table isn't letting up. Auckland Council's...

Stadium's empty, why not.

Our stadiums are being turned into field hospitals.

Which is actually pretty reassuring. Now if we could just figure out how to keep the other 50% out of the ICU, we could get back to normal.

It’s reassuring in the sense that most cases will not be life threatening.

However, it also a factor in why the virus has a reproduction number (R0 - R naught) of 2.2- each patient transmits the infection to an additional 2.2 individuals.

Think of it like having multiple attacks in an RPG. The more attack rolls you get, the better your odds of getting a crit- in this context, the better odds the virus has of infecting someone it can really mess up.

Almost like advantage and 20's a crit.

Went to supermarket. Remember when Jacko was weird for wearing gloves and mask?

Toilet paper isle.

Found some essentials. Russian beer not to bad and cheap. Bought 4 to sanitize the stomach, 900ml cans.

$1 NZD= 0.59 USD so the big cans are a bit over $3.

Most things available, picked up a 10kg bag of rice, no yeast, flour or hand sanitizer.

My Dad (MD) has asked me to use masks in those grocery trips now. If I didn‘t live with 3 people over 70, I might not, but...caution is the watchword of the day.

Can't really buy them. Basically got lucky today.

Might have an N95 in an old work bag. Just remembered.

We keep a small supply of basic masks on hand. A few dozen or so. But he has access to masks at his practice, so he generally doesn't need to use the home reserves to go to work. So what we have should last a while.

Avoided supermarket 3 weeks, we've got enough supplies for around 2 months.

Looks like they're being more generous with what's being allowed to be delivered and companies still operating are doing deliveries even if they didn't used to.

Couriers and freight picking up.

If it gets really bad just gonna go full turtle.
