"The kiwis are coming home to roost"
I thought the term you kiwis use was Root.

@rh3000 More good news from Sardinia: over the last 24 hrs, just 3 new cases from 2,000 tests. Like in NZ, it’s mainly elderly males - the “funny” coincidence is that the average age of the deceased is 80.7, while the life expectancy for men is 80.9 ...
AC aside, what you mentioned about tracing and outside visitors is terribly relevant because tourism is a life or death issue for the Sardinian economy, and the summer season nears. So, there’ll be a huge pressure to allow vacationers (Italian only this year, I guess) to come. Problem is those are mostly from the affluent North, which is precisely where the stubborn hotspot still is
Overall in Italy, and to explain the persistently high number of dearhs, 44% of contagions was traced to nursing homes, 25% domestic, 11% in hospitals, 4% at work

Different numbers here to tell about the same: 3% of the death are under 60 and most of the other 97% occured in nursing homes.
10% of the population is considered to have been in contact with the virus, the gov will ease the measures by opening schools to children whose parents agree, and increase the % protected population before fall.

considering the Kiwi couldn't fly ever and would be hard pressed to jump above your knee I think squat is probably more appropriate.... however pretty definite they've come home to root as well

So the rich and their employees can come into NZ after 14 days at sea or quarantine. Wonder if others will get in that easily and how much cash they have to pledge? AC teams seem a slam dunk. Hey they could run SGP, too. The boats are probably there already.

Sounds more like an invitation, a rejigging, by ‘Hayden Porter, RNZYS CEO’ than any announcement of intention by the J Class owners.
But as RG suggests, it’s possible that both NZ and AUS will have things well-enough under control by March; and that there will be a pent up ‘demand’ for some sailing - particularly among pro sailors who are otherwise looking at a bleak foreseeable future.

Yes, the sailing behavior of owners in ‘the new normal’ is an open question for sure.
