1/ Don't 'panic' buy, or stock up.
Better to go frequently to the supermarket for what you need so as to ... minimise contact?
MORE CONTACT
2/ Don't take your families in people-carriers to one of the many New Zealand beaches or reserves where it is eminently possible to find a quiet spot to hang out with your 'bubble' humans and animals privately.
Please stay home within the confines of your compressed, crowded house.
MOST POLICE TIME IS SPENT ON FAMILY VIOLENCE CALL OUTS
3/ Do not indulge in any truly solitary pursuits like hunting or fishing from your dinghy because you may have a mishap and require emergency services like the police.
They won't be available because they will be employed at checkpoints making sure that you don't go on any solitary pursuits
... or distracted by family violence call outs.
Before you go off at me for not 'getting with the programme', I am following directions unfailingly. Most people are at this stage.
But as pressure builds, illogical and inconsistent edicts will bring this endeavour down very quickly.

Thank you Lindsey for helping me see I am not the only person on the planet who thinks this (and we're only one day in!). Facebook keeps telling me to 'stay at home', do not go camping, to the beach or even for a bush walk - away from all the other people. In fact, I'm being told I can't go for a drive (locked in my car alone) to get out of the house. Essentially we are being told this in order to reinforce the message that we 'should all stay home' despite the fact that no one ever caught a cold walking on the beach. This is a control freaks dream. Rant over... And yes, I'm complying.
Business as usual here.
Local council contractors have been cleaning the gutters of leaves outside home.
The Alpha Male not far from here has been out hunting this morning. got himself a 10 pointer. Vennison steaks for dinner.
Several Mobile Homes and caravans on the roads heading somewhere.
Couriers delivering.
Timber yard open and its not even lunchtime.
A lot of sense in your post Lindsay. Sadly common sense went out the window very quickly when
this Government got a feel for the power they could wield. When responding to a question on whether one could drive to a beach, have a solitary walk and drive home again, Commissioner Bush replied. "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT". So much for being "kind". One wonders if he would use similar language confronting gangs or the mob blocking roads in Northland. Or is it reserved for the little old couple sitting in their car with thermos and sandwiches?
