A new beginningWith lockdown measures slowly easing, pubs, restaurants, and even hair salons have been opening worldwide. A 100 days into New Zealand’s declaration of being corona-free, lockdown measures have been lifted and everyday life is almost back to normal, with some social distancing. Risk assessmentEven though lockdown measures continue to dwindle and we are granted some freedom to feel the sun against our cheeks once more, the post-corona anxiety clutches onto us. Even with tax measures, economic stimulus measures, and employment related tactics, it is impossible to implement full lockdown measures in a densely inhabited country with workers fending daily to feed families. A second wave is indeed a very plausible circumstance and thus any ignorance would result in no bliss.
