New Zealand didn't go into full lockdown until 26 March.

An estimated 80,000-100,000 people attended the Newtown street fair on 8 March - https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/120103....

For other countries a date like 26 March was, or would have been, way too late.

I had someone claiming to be from my bank phone me in relation to certain transactions that actually happened, and like a fool I just answered their questions, without verifying who they were.

Later on I called back, to verify that it was someone from the bank who had phoned me.

The call-centre person in the bank who answered my call was unable to confirm or deny if someone from the transaction-checking department had actually phoned me, because it was all very confidential.

The most recent poll on that page shows, at time of writing, Apr 20-22. So we will have to wait a couple of days to see the true impact of this latest development in the war against Covid19.

This must be one of the most exaggerated science headlines ever.

Perhaps: "Scientists Create Device That Works Somewhat Similarly To Parts of a Single Brain Cell"

I don't think "Human" has anything to do with the claims made.
