Hi Derek,
I have this idea that reactivating our local neighborhood association at this time would be a good way to change behavior at the local level that might have global resonance. I’ve got a flyer I just wrote that I plan to give to people around the neighborhood. Low tech.
Something else struck me: New Zealand is a small island like Cuba. Some would say the Cuban revolution is history, but Cuban health care workers are out in the world again today, just like the song I will reference again on this thread: “La Era Está Pariendo un Corazón”. Here are the words in the same song that come to mind when I think of those Cuban health care workers rushing to the aid of a stricken world: "Y hay que acudir corriendo”. In the context of this wonderful thread, this horrible pandemic, it is so difficult to do justice to the power of these words in English, but they go something like, “We have to go running to the aid (of the world)”.
I have been loving this thread. Ann-Neely’s reference to the local/global distinction is generative. "Think globally.. act locally.” We can’t predict how “things” will turn out, but the basic trust thing, I trust, will come out of many, many locally grounded gestures of love. But of course we need government!

The difference being we eliminate the transmission by quick identifying, tracking contacts, testing them, and treating rapidly. We can only maintain that by guarding the borders by putting everyone coming into the country into 2 weeks isolation in specially monitored hotels and motels. The virus is not eradicated in the sense that small pox is (not taking into account weapons or government labs keeping sample just in case to defend ourselves (we hope of course).

Here in Christchurch we had some big killer Quakes, then 20,000 after shocks over 3 to 5 years. We have learned that little can be trusted including the earth, insurance companies, government beauracracies etc. What we do know we trust is that our neighbours (most of them) will be generous, kind and trustworthy in an emergency. Note our response to the Mosque massacre, as a city and as a nation.

They also think they are too far from the original European homes (UK particularly) to depend on that, and therefore will try to solve things themselves as a first reaction. Collectively, they think and act like a big spread out village and are fiercely defensive of their fair play.

Even if that is vastly underreported by a factor of 10 it is less than 10%. And studies in California suggest that only 1 in 5 have been infected, of whom 60% have not experienced any symptoms. Only around 5% need hospitalization.

Eventually, everyone who can get it will get it. So a generation of older and weaker people will be adversely affected, many dying. It’s only in the next generation when most people have gotten it young that it will fade into the background, like the common cold.

As I say in the article, that COVID will be experienced differently in different countries, by different classes and social groups is an important part of this process. It does not detract it from its being a single experience.
