So jealous and full of aroha for NZ right now. Australia is a fractured, confused, desperate riot waiting to happen. A government response of Trumpian incompetence.

What are the grocery delivery options in Auckland? I am in self isolation because of travel so looking around at what I can get delivered that's not takeaway.
New World and Countdown in my area both have 7 day waits. I managed to get an early New World order in but they didn't pack pick half the order because of panic buyers clearing out the shelves. Countdown are delivering next week. They've both been pretty small orders <$100. I'm not desperate for anything, just could use a few more things and see if there is any other place doing deliveries. |

This is it ladies and gentlemen. Fed just fired the BFG and guaranties everything, at least until they are all dead.

I heard delivery is a week wait, and thats my concern that you book it, and stuff that you need wont come through. Im waiting to hear what the shops will be doing once lockdown starts. You can't have 100 people walking around in store at the same time. You also cant have 500 people queueing outside waiting to get in. Will you get a number and have to wait in the car? Will peoples who names start with A-D go day 1, E-H day 2? |

We've pulled my oldest out of School in Queensland. No idea why they're still wanting children to go as it completely contradicts everything the government is stating.
We won't need to go to a supermarket for the next month at least, and could stretch it out to 3 months if there are lots of infections. So many people have been made redundant, shit is going to change forever imo. Wonder how the political/economic changes be made. |

- Citizens will transition from tax-paying cattle to "customers" who demand better "service" from government and media institutions. - The internet and remote work will be the great leveler of people offering value across pretty much every service sector. - Governments will reveal that the only power they have is from a monopoly on violence and incarceration - Governments will make an example out of sovereign individuals to scare everyone else away from claiming their own sovereignty (ie Snowden, Osama Bin Laden, Assange, Manning) So yes, we aren't going back to the way things were.

The information age has had a few people standing in its way trying to convince us it's risky for the individual to source their information from anyone other than the authority on the subject (ie Youtube, Reddit, Twitter telling everyone how to safely get information on COVID-19), or that the employee needs the employer more than the employer needs the employee.
Think of all the middle managers that told employees that it was impossible for the job to be done remotely, so they need to come into the office to be observed working. Well their bluff got called on this one and now the impossible is not only possible, but it's high priority. All barriers to the information age are now stepping aside and the dam has burst. Good things ahead for humanity, open source, wisdom of crowds, and thrifty individuals. Bad times ahead for institutions (Universities that value the campus over the education, Governments that value the controlling the population over all else, News media that demand people believe what they print). |

in VIC, the following restrictions are in place: - ban all non-essential gatherings of more than 500 people outdoors - ban all non-essential gatherings of more than 100 people indoors - non-essential indoor gatherings must observe 4sqm per person - queues and such have 1.5m distance between people Trying to figure out if our coworking office can still operate so long as we observe the restrictions + the following: - Paper towels instead of tea towels - hand sanitizer for all - glen 20 all high-touch surfaces twice a day but then there's my gut feel that we're just stair stepping our way to total lockdown a la Italy, UK. So best make preparations now to isolate and work from home. |

At the super this morning, The District Woolworths in Docklands, VIC. 8am, there was about 25 8-packs of toilet paper after the Seniors had their hour, and absolutely no eggs or paper towels. No surprise really - idiots gonna hoard. A reasonable amount of flour - not that I need any. No yeast though, lol.

If you are kicking yourself that you are still stuck in a growth kiwisaver, tomorrow is the day to switch to cash. Check DOW at 9am and if it’s up over 5% it’s probably going to be your best time to get out if you are believing the armageddon scenarios or you don’t have the stomach to take more losses. I believe it will take at least three days to switch out and hopefully the market will rally for all three for you. Check with your provider on how long its going to take.
I would just ride it out myself, the market will recover eventually. |

Option in Aus to convert super to cash to bail yourself out . Need to investigate, but if available i might withdraw from super to increase purchasing power once asset prices bottom out.

That said, what happens when people realise that indeed, we can still get by without all the cool shit and fun times our way of living was affording us?

What I assume the immediate situation is, is all the produce destined to be cooked in a commercial kitchen is now heading to the supermarket. I guess a bunch might make it to (or remain in) frozen storage.
The challenge is the bottleneck at supermarkets. Even during normal operation it's expected they can be a bustling place. Reducing that to ensure distance, while also increasing the volume of product sold doesn't seem viable. I figure improved delivery services will become standard. It should be much more efficient, especially with the roads clear. Some IT nerds out there are going to be deemed essential.

Trump suggesting Easter as the date the US economy reopens, while deaths in Italy continue to jump, over two weeks after entering lockdown.

Base rate fallacy check: "This virus doesn't kill young people."
LA County Reports First Death of Covid-19 Patient Under 18 https://www.courthousenews.com/la-co...ient-under-18/ https://www.scmp.com/news/world/unit...ld-covid-19-us Yep. It kills young and old. |
