@heathert Yes Heather, we here in Australia ("across the ditch:, as we say) have almost stopped virus cases too!
We haven't done it as well as New Zealand, but have done it pretty well -- with lots of testing, early border lockdowns -- even between states, and strict social distancing, many businesses and all public events shutdown since early to mid March.
Unfortunately, lots of jobs have been lost here of course, but health and safety really is a priority -- but there's no economic activity anyway if people are too scared by a dangerous and untreatable virus to go out and buy things!
@windwalker Me too, I wish you could come here to protect you better Terri, but Australian borders are closed also, just like in New Zealand.
I guess we all know that we're in this for the long haul -- until there is a vaccine or a good treatment.
I really wish it will all be over soon and we're all safe, but there are risks it could come back when we relax restrictions and open up again.....Look what's happened with Singapore -- it did so well in earlier, then eased up on restrictions,and is having trouble again now.
Let's hope and pray for a vaccine or a good treatment really soon. Everyone in the world needs that.
Love and prayers, Annie
