This time, people realize covid isnt a death sentence if you are healthy (with a few rare exceptions) You can see the new attitude in supermarkets , everyone wears a mask, but arnt keeping 'safe' distances . I dont think the govt will be able to do another lockdown after this one , the public wont accept another . Look at Aus to see the public pushback against lockdowns . This will be the last extended lockdown most will all agree to comply with.	1101 (13337)

I note some of the Aussie Truckies are protesting, so that will be interesting, because I can’t see some of the State Premiers bowing to their wishes. HERE (www.9news.com.au)	B.M. (505)

This time, people realize covid isnt a death sentence if you are healthy (with a few rare exceptions) I don't think so, my attitude hasn't changed. My mum was one that didn't want a vaccine.....the "safety" thing....I just booked her, took her and she didn't fuss. People didn't always keep distance last time either, and most know Auckland was the main outbreak area...not elsewhere and they're sick of lockdowns We just need to hurry up with the vaccinations and start on the yearly boosters, as is done with flu. And remember flu can be nasty but people don't walk round panicking, if its not in the news, people tend to be oblivious, yet people, admittedly older, unwell people still die from it. Husband would have died from a bad cold...never mind anything worse...	piroska (17583)

Got out my old glasses and as I took them out of the case they have been in for just over a year, one of the silicone nose pads broke in half leaving the mount sticking out making them unwearable. That beggared my plan to wear them till next week when the optician opens up officially. Bad day so far. So, had to wear a mask. For the first time ever! I just have been avoiding places where they are required. Was not impressed at all! I must say. Specsavers, Napier were excellent! They have a couple of staff on just for things like this. All done with distancing and there was no charge to repair both sets. All done in 30 minutes. Ken :)	kenj (9738)

Shopping this morning and apologized to shop owner about not wearing mask, it was there to see and I was told that one could ring the hearing aid people and they would come out and take the aid away to be repaired and deliver back. Will do that tomorrow and see. lurking.	Lurking (218)
