        3. Horrific. Just saw this from nz govt… “The Governments instructions are that anyone who is feeling unwell must be tested right away. We will follow up on your test if you make us aware you are feeling unwell. “

        4. Luckily, where I am, they let you have a choice to just agree to self-quarantine as an option to forced test. Here the virus is abating… no new cases in 13 days. So everyone is being extra careful.

        5. I well recall that announcement early on from the WHO guy saying it’s spreading within families so they may have to come get the fam members & quarantine them adding in a humane or dignified manner as I recall. Wonder what that looks like?
