[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7997084, member: 6716779"] Well waited until things got quiet after the initial rush. For a post Covid world it seems bars and restaurants are quiet. Social distancing rules apply. Under level two most things are open but shop early or be prepared to line up. They're limiting how many can go into stores at once. Went to our equivalent of Walmart to get some clothes. Managed to snag a haircut. Social distancing was decent, they've marked out places you can line up etc. Tourist places are screaming out for support/domestic tourists. Realistically a lot of those Business are doomed. Public sympathy isn't very high it seems. They've been over charging tourists for years and priced a lot of locals out. Resort town of Queenstown is projecting 30-50% unemployment. One deal I saw was 7 nights, ski field pass, rental car and meal voucher for $90 USD a day. 1 new case last few days. 2-3 total last week and a half. None locally for something like 35 days. Not much in the way of mask wearing. Hand sanitizer is back on supermarket shelves, masks can be found if you know where to look. They're kind of expensive. Haven't had the collapse USA has but unemployment is rising. Long term forecasts are bad for the next couple of years or three but better than say USA. We're also having to deal with 100k migrant workers. Their visas are expiring, don't qualify for welfare and a lot of the jobs they were in have evaporated. Little bit of fallout. Prime minister is super popular and with collapsing polls the opposition rolled their leader swapping a conservative right winger for a right of center type with more liberal social views. Hard right/left doesn't work so well in NZ. He botched the Covid response pulling the openup at all costs mentality a few weeks ago which evaporated around 1/3rd of their support. Goneburger. Jacindas numbers officially make her the most popular Prime Minister ever at least while they gave done polling. [/QUOTE]
