2h after my first post and we are all still in the plane on the tarmac waiting! We haven't moved at all! By now I nearly lost count but I think we are 4 h delayed, at least 2h inside the plane. Still no word of when we are going to go! Are we even going to go @easyJet ?

[Vanessa S. Terra @vs_aterra]

When the flight is delayed and nobody makes an announcement is very annoying...@easyJet this has to be looked at! Our flight is delayed by 2h and nobody said a word, now our ETA is 3.12 am when it should have been 22.30 and nobody told us even at what time we are going to depart.

🔊 E.coli update
As of 11 June, we have identified a further 98 cases associated with an ongoing outbreak of a Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC) bringing the total to 211.
We're continuing our epidemiological analysis & whole genome sequencing to identify any further cases.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine could be a turning point in the #COVID19 pandemic.🤞

@FletcherHelen talks to @TIMEHealth about how it was "deliberately developed to have global impact" for "the most fragile & poorest regions of the world." https://t.co/6ztrqToPIu #HealthForAll

@CuccuiJon the testing system is a shambles!

[Jon cuccui @CuccuiJon]

Child developed fever on Saturday night. Went to https://t.co/5kBYgNbonz site to book a covid test. For 2 days now we have been met with this. How many will be diligent and adhere to rules and how many will decide to ignore symptoms and return to work when testing is failing us?

[Vanessa S. Terra @vs_aterra]

Very well done New Zealand!

[Anne Wyllie @awyllie13]

Incredibly proud of NZ and to call myself a kiwi. Of course not everyone was happy about lockdown measures, (small) businesses struggled, health issues suffered, but under clear guidance and strong leadership everyone got behind it to look after each other. Everyone did their bit
