    Nah, it's quite strict but the government is sending out mixed messages about using the covid app and the like.

    Honestly, some God must be looking out for NZ because the government just lurches from one debacle into another.

    There are also a bunch of dickheads who disagree and want to 'protest' but they are small in number

    Let's hope they don't follow Thailand's 2021 model of letting every Tomcat, Dicky1983 and Hazza travel between provinces. Or whatever ye have down in that strange little place.

    Anyone ever think, that this virus is world wide, containing it is not possible, NewZealand locking down is idiotic, The virus will spread and nothing will stop it, Simple maths works, keep the elderly and vulnerable co'morbid confined, but let everyone else get on with their life if they want to. Even the vaccines are not going to stop it.

    But they (the vaccines) do minimize the damage done.


    NZ is currently less than 20% vaccinated, so locking down until a much higher % are vaccinated makes sense.

    Yup, Sweden is a great example, population 10 million

    The first death case related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Sweden was reported on March 11, 2020. The number of deaths has since increased to a total of 14,626 as of August 18, 2021.
    NZ 5 million, 26 deaths.

    What price a life?

    How many times will someone make that ridiculous and pointless false analogy and fatuous comparison.

    I’ve honestly never met anyone who’s been to Sweden except swedes. Likewise, Angola had little need for a lockdown.

    It’s idiotic to talk about countries that didn’t have a lockdown as if they’re examples to demonstrate lockdowns were not needed anywhere.

    But Yemen not having a lockdown demonstrates something apparently. For an idiot.

    They are too inexperienced in everything, this bunch. If they threw themselves at the ground, they would miss.

    And so bursting to please their base, gerrymandering to increase their voter coalitions, stifling debate, ram-riding some legislation while pushing others into the future some time.

    It's quite distressing to see how much damage they are doing in the name of re-election.

    Yea . . . how is that going? Are you better? Your daughter? Your sons still not infected?

    Well, it was 1 case a few days ago and now it is 107, so a steady and to be expected increase. 10k plus potential contacts . . . looks like NZ will be joining the RoW . . .

    Jacinda done gud

    Well, it's still at 107 but the fearless/feckless leader does two tv appearances a day, so we'll find out at 1:00 how many more there are

    It's ramping up

    Yes, very surprised at such a low vaccination rate.
