Zoombie apocalypse

Awkward online meetings, face-filter mishaps on important calls and frayed tempers: lockdown life is strange, exhausting, and occasionally hilarious. We explore how New Zealand is adapting to confinement, from binge-watching Tiger King to tuning in to the country’s new appointment-viewing show – the 1pm press conference. As routines dissolve and new rituals form, presenter Hilary Barry makes an unexpected discovery in the back of her wardrobe. Meanwhile Kiwi nurse Jenny McGee has her life turned upside down when her world-famous Covid patient outs her.
