Awesome day. A scammer rang me from a Wellington number claiming to be from "Spark" about 'faulty internet'.
Him: Its a serious problem.
Me: Shit, should I call someone? The army? The police?
Him: No, I can help you.
Me: Thank god, is that why there is smoke coming from it?
Him: What?
Me: Smoke. There's smoke pouring out of our internet. we were thinking that was strange. Is that normal?
Him: (pause) What?
Me: The smoke is that normal?
Him: No.
Me: What should I do, this is clearly very serious?
Him: Tell me how many lights are on on your router?

I thought I'd do my first ever thread on #coronavirus, & specifically why staying calm (ie not losing your shit) was a good idea a week ago and is still the best idea today. It's a bit of a long-ish thread(10 tweets), but this whole thing is a bit complex...
1) Don't lose your shit because it's here now. This is a sneaky little fucker and so it was always going to come here. Given a third of people with it have no symptoms, and the majority only experience mild symptoms, containing it was always going to be almost impossible.
