What is Covid-19?
Covid-19 is a virus going around the world at the moment. It started in China from people eating bats! From China it went crazy and basically spread around the whole world. Luckily for the people in China they were able to manage it quite quickly, because they are a rich and popular country. The country that is suffering the most at the moment I think would be Italy. Italy is struggling to find enough medical help and are pretty much choosing who lives and who dies.

Today I experienced some crazy people panic buying at the mangonui 4 square. I was there with my Aunty and little cousins, and me and my cousins sat in the car while Aunty grabbed a few bits. While we sat in the car we saw some people with masks and trolleys just throwing all the food in the back of their car then rushing in for more. We were there for about 5 minutes and we saw them do 3 full trolley loads and no doubt went back for more one of the trolley loads was just TOILET PAPER but the rest was pasta, sugar, biscuit ect.(greedy people) When Aunty got back to the car we told her what we had seen she was not suprised apparently the same people were blocking off iles so people couldn’t get past ( I know dumb right), a even dumber thing was that the people were wearing their masks bellow their nose i mean what good is that.

Today was basically our last day of freedom so we decided to go fishing. Before we went we decided to go to mangonui to see if other boats were out so we weren’t the only ones, we arrived and it was like fishing day there were so many boat trailers so we rushed home got the boat and went out fishing for the day.

Yesterday I found out that there were 78 new cases of Covid-19 overnight which brings New Zealand's cases to 283. The Doctors and everyone thought corona only killed older people around the seventies or unhealthy people with asthma or heart problems, but a few days ago it killed a healthy 21 year old.

Today there were 85 new cases, the virus is increasing bit by bit every day. Northland cases have increased which means it is getting closer to home. Today we had 37 recoveries which hopefully that number increases and we can control Covid. The saddest thing I found out today is that netball might be cancelled for the whole year :(
