@voodoo They should have NZ citizenship by descent, even without the passport
I have 3 kids. 1 was born in NZ, 2 in Ireland. All 3 have NZ citizenship but only the 1st can pass on to her kids. They also have Swiss citizenship which can be passed on in perpetuity (on the other hand to become a naturalised Swiss without a Swiss spouse is a long process - 12 years from memory).

but in the UK the distribution is pretty much in/sort/out with manufacturers producing to order and in turn getting their raw ingredients the same way.
We've had our usual weekly ASDA grocery delivery only slightly disrupted so far - restrictions on things like toilet paper and paracetamol and substitutions for cleaning products and bleach. Delivery slots are being pushed back to 10-15 days though.
Weirdly, the drivers keep telling us their delivery volumes are actually down. Just cant work that one out.

This is my anxious time of day now waiting for the latest press conference to start 😢
Italy has overtaken china's death toll....

Reports 31 people caught the virus from 1 wedding in NSW. Apparently people at weddings getting drunk, dancing together eating from same tables etc.
Apparently wedding venues have put up marquees outside to get around the 100 indoor rule.
This is why westerners are fucked, all wedding venues should have shut down.
Venue claiming that the 31 who all got it were not contagious at the wedding. Ok so just a big coincidence? -
Thankfully it’s Friday here, hasn’t always been the easiest keep my mind on work. Kinda getting over this constant cleaning and using hand sanitiser 100 times a day.
Those of you in Europe and Asia hope you can keep hanging in there.
I’m hopeful here in NZ we don’t ‘catch up’ to the rest of the world, hoping no drastic action is needed.
Keep your chins up, keep drinking tea or anything harder if required... oh and I’ve heard crumpets are great in times like this too.. -
Some of the innovative thinking is impressive. ASDA are working with places like sandwich shops and restaurants to set up pop-up supermarkets and airline logistics staff are working with the NHS supply chain.

@Virgil What do you put on those crumpets?
Butter and golden syrup is beautiful
I'm now getting homesick for that waxy white honey I grew up with.

Boris mentioned 12 weeks a few times tonight.

All the restrictions came into effect here yesterday at noon. The nightly news showing people still not taking it seriously police were berating people in the street sending people home and closing shops, that thought the rules didn't apply to them.
Here in the countryside its not as much of a disruption but still noticeably less traffic around today.
I've seen people describe the majority of these people as the 'new-French'. Any truth in that or is it across the board?
On the news it was in the 18th, so a lot of immigrants. But it's not just them. In the town in Paris I stay in all the rich people have just been given a bollocking and all parks and green spaces are now closed. As people were letting their kids play together in them.
