Alert level 4, aka Lockdown, started August 18th
At 1159pm tonight, the part of New Zealand that is south of the Auckland region will shift to Alert Level 3 Level 3 is still lockdown but with takeaways & online shopping when i asked my friend what alert level 3 meant he said 'you & your Bubble can go to the beach & go surfing' my Bubble & i are planning a picnic tomorrow we're going to the beach the ocean temperature is currently 13.9°C we won't be going surfing So how was alert level 4 this time round ? it was different in a good way it was calmer, less fearful more people moving around but still quiet enough to be pleasant people seem ok about wearing masks in the supermarket our oldies went in to lockdown mode grocery shopping online for those with a computer grocery deliveries by whanau for those without i only realised last night that dad wasn't wearing his glasses yesterday must remember to ask him about that . . . Hugh had his birthday we made a lemon cake he got presents in the post i made him a paper tiger & we had our 1st covid 19 vaccination tomorrow will officially be the 1st day of Spring According to the guidelines I could have been offered the Covid 19 vaccine by now because I'm Māori & over the age of 55 I've asked several times My enquiries have been brushed off, glossed over &/or ignored They have offered me
I just want the Covid vaccine . . . please when i first wrote this down today i thought this is actually hilarious in an annoying 'would you like fries with that' kind of way Our District Health Board set the lowest vaccination rate target in the country - embarrassingly low targets actually
They didn't want to 'over promise' By the end of June they had exceeded their target by 1% - which meant they had vaccinated 8% of our region Our regional population is 124 600 (June 2020 Wikipedia) The next lowest target set, by any other DHBs, was 14% |
