Will you get the R&M money back?
He was on grant/scholarship, so doesn't really apply, but the emails said that students will be getting pro rated refunds if it applies to them.

I'm not necessarily saying they should do something different, but, "Okay, you've been exposed to COVID, now go the fuck home" is uhh...

Right. It's fucking stupid. And again, how did this scenario not come up in their planning?

Apparently, the students in the quarantine dorm were given convenient store food once a day, and told not to leave the building, even for a fire alarm.

Faaak now i have to cancel that vacation to the Utah Mink Farm
First U.S. cases of coronavirus in mink found at Utah fur farms

Mink at two Utah fur farms have tested positive for the virus that causes covid-19 in humans, the Department of Agriculture said Monday, announcing the first U.S. cases in a species that has been widely culled in Europe following outbreaks there.

Employees at the farms in Utah, the second-largest producer of mink pelts used for coats and other luxury items, also tested positive for the coronavirus, the USDA said. Dean Taylor, Utah’s state veterinarian, told reporters Monday that state and federal agencies are conducting additional testing to determine whether the mink were infected by humans or vice versa, and whether mink at other farms are sick.

In parliamentary systems, the PM can just decide to postpone the election? Is this something NZ specific?

There's a time frame around when the election must be held. Coming up to an election the ruling party decides when the election will be within that time frame. They decided - the other parties went 'Not Fair' once the new lockdown happened, so they moved it our to even up the playing field

The election was initially planned for an early date, so now its been extended to the end of the allowable window?

Yeah - pretty much. I think it could have maybe been pushed out a tiny bit more, but not much

You crazy kids and your "we'll have an election whenever we damn well please" vibes.

I like the idea of the legislature putting themselves out of a job, but to do so on a whim to trigger new elections... no thanks.
