It is very discouraging. As a father, I cannot overstate the anxiety it can cause. I am confident we are in a global event, and there are no refuges anywhere. So, since flight is not an option, unless folks can dramatically improve their ability to provide their necessities someplace else, home is where the networks, stomping grounds, and assets at hand are, and where to prepare for what you're going through.

There are some good people there in NZ. I follow two of them. There are more.

Ya'll need each other.
