How privileged are we that we can spend time discussing court action against lockdown instead of watching our family & neighbours be buried in mass graves and dumped in the back of refrigerator trucks by forklifts. Honestly I feel like we are on some alternate universe at times.

Story in @SundayStarTimes where construction company boss questions reason for wage subsidy. Then he goes on to say "I'm going to use mine to pay my staff and keep my cashflow up and ensure that my guys have still got a job in five months' time". May have answered own question.

It's true ultraviolet (UV) light can destroy viruses at the right intensity. It does this breaking the molecular bonds that hold together the DNA of viruses, bacteria & cells. Great for cleaning hospital instruments & surfaces. Do you know what else is made of cells? YOU!!!!!😕

The best way to avoid being wrong, and passing your wrongness on to others, is to question what you read. (Who's sharing it? What's the source of the data? Is the source acknowledged? How does it compare to guidance from experts?) If you agree with the message, question twice.

NZ is off the charts! Very grateful to live in this country. I know we have the advantage of being an island nation, with lower population density than many other countries - but still, the response from Team 5 Million has been incredible #COVID19nz

Now daily new cases: • Feels increasingly safe to say daily confirmed infections in US have peaked, though descent from peak is very slow • New cases falling in four countries that acted early: New Zealand, Australia, Norway, Austria All charts: ft.com/coronavirus-la…

Its the press conference equivalent of "As per my last email.." I admire her patience and poise at these press conferences

While other countries show no sign of any control of COVID-19 I'm so proud of NZ & what we've done as a nation. We had some of the toughest lockdown rules in the world, but today we can be optimistic about coming out of it on Monday & feeling safe that this is the right decision

Interesting read on the contributions of both the virus itself and the immune system to the deaths of people infected with #covid19 and the struggles doctors and scientists face in trying to address both components without making outcomes worse nature.com/articles/d4158…
