Back to level 2
I don't know if you have been keeping an eye on our news here but it was announced yesterday that there are now 4 new positive Corona infections spread through community transmission in Auckland. To say that New Zealanders are angry is an under-statement. One of the 4 people apparently travelled to Rotorua and visited several tourist spots knowing they had tested positive so officials are scrambling to do contact tracing and they announced that Auckland is to go back into level 3 lockdown effective midday yesterday while the rest of the country is in level 2. Because we live surrounded by alot of elderly people I was out yesterday on my daily walk wearing a surgical face mask - should've seen some of the strange looks I got from people. There are alot of people like myself who think the borders should've been closed from the very beginning.
Edited to add: This morning's news said another person tried to get into a quarantine hotel through a faulty security door *facepalm* and was arrested and 3 friends on my facebook think that wearing masks restrict oxygen to your brain *double facepalm*, one of them even said that they cause organ damage. After 5 years of working in dentistry where I had to wear these 5 days a week I'm sure that I would be in hospital if that was correct.
We also have our national elections due to happen in September and as you can see by the promotional sign above parties are out in full force with their promises. This won't be the only one that will be seen around town.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Love the 'facepalm'. Sounds like the greek open hand which you give in worst case scenarios
Basically it means curse you, but nowadays it's more 'f*** you, you stupid idiot'.
Thank goodness NZ reacted immediately . Not like us. we knew there were cases on the island but didn't get an official reaction for a week!!
Take care!
Tell me did you get another dog after Foxy died? I miss my yorkie so much but not sure I will ever be able to want another dog ~

The face mask keep people safe. People should stop spreading false information. Take care! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great weekend.
It's much worse here in the US. I don't even want to start thinking about it.
Stay safe as always.
