 The lockdown has helped NZ

The lockdown has done many different things. I do believe that the lockdown really has helped New Zealanders on their journey to cope in these times. It has brought New Zealanders together, it has proved that working together and listening to our Prime Minister really makes and impact on the spread and we start to realize what is really important in life.

Firstly, it has proved that working together and listening to an amazing prime minister that we can make a huge difference to the spread of the virus. There have only been 14 real cases that are caused or linked to covid-19. This has not really happened in other countries. By listening and doing what is right we have protected more vulnerable groups like my brother, my Nana and my Grandad. Every other country in the world has also experienced the virus but NZ only has a tiny amount of deaths. So by listening and doing what is right we have decreased the number of deaths throughout the country.

Secondly, it has brought New Zealanders together in a variety of many ways. Including being kinder to each other, listening, comforting each other and most of all since we are all looking out and supporting one another, we have been brought together in ways that were not possible before the virus. We have been all working together and that has welcomed us into the fact that we are all in the same boat and we are feeling all the same things in this rough time. We have been inspired to get healthier, do more cooking, baking , gardening, etc etc, we have also started to find hobbies in things we would have never tried before. We have learned new things and have been able to give things a try because of all the time we have been given. So we really have been impossible if it were not for the spread.

Lastly, it makes everyone realize what is really important in life. We start to recognize the things we actually need and not some cool jug you found at the home depot that you will never really use. It also helps us appreciate what we have actually got when it is taken away from us. We have found love in simple items that help us a little everyday even when we don't notice them. We have become resigned to get to know what it feels like to lose someone which is extremely sad. We have really begun to really notice what we need.

So in conclusion, I do believe that

the lockdown really has helped New Zealanders on their journey to cope in these times. Even though the lockdown has been a challenging and uncertain time for all New Zealanders it has proven to lower the number of deaths throughout the country. Since we have paid attention to our prime minister we have prevented the virus from spreading rapidly.So remember New Zealand, be kind, stay safe and unite against Covid-19.
