AIR - Air NZ.

There will come a time when being in the HUT is going to get cabin fever..

Really missing those scenic train trips in europe. In fact really missing a decent train. Nothing like swooping up stockholm.

Its that there is a big world out there and right now you can only see it on your TV.

There will come a time and you wont want to come back for a long time.

Can you not do all that now over there? I read from many commentators that it is all normal everywhere else but here?

Well, you know - they do have their downsides as well. My sister caught Covid on the train from Stockholm to Gothenburg (a year ago ... prior to vaccinations).

But yes, would be nice to not just be able to travel again (we can, if we want), but also being able to return in a predictable timeframe back to NZ :

"normal everywhere else but here"

ok ... is it normal anywhere....the new normal then...No not going till the stop over zones are deemed safer to protect alveoli. As one gets older protecting VO2 Max becomes harder and harder.

You can ... and it is. It is just difficult for any Kiwis who want to get back as well, given that our government prefers to keep their electorate locked up. While we are allowed to leave, it is impossible to plan the return journey (unless you are a British DJ or one of the Wiggles - we always have space for them in MIQ.

But back to AIR ... I wonder how this policy does impact on them?

Country is in red for 2 weeks right? borders closed for travel bubble till when?

does anyone know whats going on?

Have to assume AIR has no idea when it can get some overseas travel bubbles operating again.

It appears situation is just a state of confusion.

SNFU.... its a SNFU....

2 weeks - nope!
2 weeks was mentioned for the 1st phase when we hit 1k cases/day.
At that point some of the settings change but we are still in RED.
Things like tracing change, how long to isolate, use of RATs begins (useless now really with low case numbers).

Travel - still end of Feb being talked about for what would have happened on 17th Jan (open to Aus with home isolation) and maybe what was going to happen with the rest of the world (open to Kiwis with home isolation).
More to come on this in a week or 2.

"RATs"

yes we have some Rat traps.... but a hedge hog seems to over turn them..

Are the Rats in warehouses somewhere?

Arrh we go Deeper in to the RED then...

Glad someone is still listening to the state of the nation.. arrrh colony... islands full of summer sun seekers...

anyone counting..

"2 weeks was mentioned for the 1st phase when we hit 1k cases/day."

what is the number now or is everyone out on the sun deck getting sozzled for the weekend...

what phase is the colony in now?

The Longer plan was two months for the Lock Down (not called a Lock Down, but something else)
for convenience sake, so Robertson & mates didn't think they had to stump up any dough ..
Right ?

Can't be seen to be stroking that nasty beasty - 'Inflation' can they .. like any old lame excuse will do

Doesn't feel like a lockdown to me.
In the air tomorrow, cafes and restaurants today and the past week.
Not called a lockdown because it isn't.
Try living life - I am.

Up 5% in the last week.... Maybe this generous government is going to offer to pay above the market sp for any future shares issued? (lol)
