Re: Coronavirus - how's everyone doing?
Do some digging. You might be surprised what you can get and from where. When lockdown first started here in Scotland, everything was closed. I mean everything. We normally have a pizza on a Saturday and I refused to accept I couldn’t have it. So, researched and found a company that would post a pizza kit from London. Which was by the way amazing.

Oh come on I know someone who lives in your neck of the woods. I'm sure she's dined in the most pretentious restaurants up there. Give her a buzz, she can ask in her deli.

Actually I am. I'm surprised that the number is that low but they've probably only checked on a very small percentage.

Well yes I'm sure you could (hey, even I could and have during these strange times) but would that be a treat for you? Get a curry, make up for not getting to the UK.

It's not a happy thought

EldestDreamy is cooking on Saturday (one of the boys cooks every Saturday night, I am blessed) and we're apparently having takeout tonight. I'm sure I'll cope. Especially as there will be wine involved this evening.

Poor old Victoria didn't quite do it, per your posts re Oz lockdowns ,did it though , whilst NZ seems to be so far doing OK.

They've benefited as well from not having a federated system of government, i.e.
- no national vs state politics to muddle the message of the public health response to the general public;
- no dropping of balls between national and state authorities as happened in the Ruby Princess case;
- no pointless sniping between states and/or the feds about state border issues.
