A breath of fresh air
Where has the New Zealand COVID experiment got to in the last 5 weeks? In comparison to China, or Sweden, we’re looking pretty good. Which is why we are moving from Alert Level 4 to Level 3 for the next 2 weeks.

Still holding…
We are still holding our breaths but the Ardern & Bloomfield Show tomorrow will tell us whether we will be stepping down from Level 4. What do you pick? What do I pick? I’ve looked up the factors that are likely to be taken into account.
Checking the experiment’s progress
How’s the experiment going? New Zealand’s vital COVID stats – testing, cases, deaths (only one so far) – are looking good. Norway, Denmark and Sweden are looking similar, which is odd given Sweden’s very different approach, not locking down.
Coronavirus tea party
We had a tea party with our nearby bubble mates – friends living in our barn, using a 2 metre separation as measured by our 1.8 metre table.
Facing off against COVID-19
Here we are in our bubble wondering how much news to read each day. I’ve added Denmark to my graph to compare more widely in Scandinavia. I’m thinking deaths may be more indicative of the state of COVID than cases because who knows how each country defines cases. At least deaths in Italy are increasing at a lower rate than last week, after locking down.
