    "HAVELOCK NORTH, New Zealand - It has been less than two weeks since New Zealand imposed a coronavirus lockdown so strict that swimming at the beach and hunting in bushland were banned. They're not essential
    activities, plus we have been told not to do anything that could divert emergency services' resources.

    NEVERMIND. I found exactly the same headline here:

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/new-zealand-isnt-just-flattening-the- curve-its-squashing-it/ar-BB12gstI

    I was impressed with the NZ Level 4 directive. It even limited on-line purchases for "essential" items only, thus not overwhelming delivery
    trucks with meaningless shipments.

    I get the same thing. Guess I can turn off my ad blocker to get to the rest
    of the story.

    We have signs like that up at work...but if someone throws a fit...they
    usually let them slide to keep from creating a scene. Guess that's why I
    enjoy stocking & such to dealing with people...since I've been known to start laughing at them when they start losing it.
