Well I  ( like Scalex ) am a Kiwi here in New  Zealand
Yes we are in a lockdown but i think to many are not taking it serious enough.
I am still working as I am a Farmer .
It is the perfect storm here for us .
We have a Fairly serious drought here in NZ this summer and autumn
Normally we send fat lambs to works to feed the world but take off at other end is slow .
Works are going slow as workers are spaced apart so the kill chain is slowed down.
So we have extra mouths to feed on farm and having to buy in feed ( a rare occurrence here for us )
Due to drought we have dried milking cows off ( 2 months early )  i have less spare time now as more feeding
out on top of usual jobs .
The boss is in his 70s and his wife have MS bad ( wheel chair hoist etc ) they are both vulnerable if CV 19 gets them .
My wife is prone to serious chest infections due to complications of Premature birth.
 This leaves me to be gopher  for groceries and farm supplies so no enforced holiday for me .
I have done 1 grocery foray ( a lot of shelves were bare )and 2 farm supply trips since lock down started .
Bonus is I am still getting paid .
Down side ?? Wife getting a bit touchy as can not go out and two house bound teenage daughters !!!!
