has apologized after being reprimanded by Scottish police for traveling from New Zealand to the Scottish island of Skye — a journey that has rattled residents of the 10,000-strong community who have been trying to self-isolate.that the “American Gods” author had been approached by local officers on Sunday after Gaiman detailed his late April trip from Auckland to the Scottish island — which included two flights and a lengthy drive — in a May 14 blog post.
Early Tuesday, Gaiman published a post apologizing for defying travel warnings. “So. I did something stupid. I’m really sorry. The last blog I wrote, about how I had been here for almost three weeks, turned into news — and not in a good way. ‘Man Flies 12,000 Miles to Defy Lockdown’ sort of news. And I’ve managed to mess things up in Skye, which is the place I love most in the world.
“I was panicked, more than a little overwhelmed and stuck in New Zealand,” wrote Gaiman, who explained he then sought government advice for foreign nationals online. “I’ve been living in the U.K. since 2017, and all of my upcoming work is here — so ‘you are strongly advised to return now’ looked like most important message. I waited until New Zealand was done with its strict lockdown, and took the first flight out.

New Zealand Is So Good at Social Distancing, Not Even the Prime Minister Can Break the RulesHere in the United States, we can’t even convince our nation’s “leaders” to wear masks while visiting covid-19 patients, lest they look like little wusses who don’t want to spread a vicious and frightening virus. In New Zealand, which has already successfully managed to mitigate the virus’s first wave, social distancing is taken so seriously even the prime minister can’t break the rules for a flat white. Isn’t this headline a little disingenuous? She wasn’t trying to break any of her own rules, and cheerfully followed them when they were enforced. She’s a badass and the envy of the planet in her pandemic response.
