Hi Dave,
No we are clear of this thing again, they had an outbreak in Auckland (north Island) 8 weeks ago with about 30 cases but got them out of the community pretty quick and into managed isolation. We have a quarantine system here run by the military so when you come into NZ you are tested for covid and put in a hotel, tested again in 3 days, tested in 9 days time and let out at day 14 if you test negative again. within the country we just scan a QR code that all businesses have on their doors and that records dates and times so if there is an outbreak they can trace people that were int he same place around the same time so as to stop the spread in the community.
I dont like our government and have never liked our head idiot in parliament but the system works, im not worried about them knowing where i shopped on a particular day if it keeps Lynette and my family away from this thing as long as i can.
Donald Trump was wrong when he said it was all over for New Zealand, he had the wrong information, we had 30 odd cases pop back up in auckland from a person who decided that they didnt want to stay in isolation for 14 days. so that one idiot put the rest of the citizens at risk.
I really get the dislike for big brother and infringing on rights etc and detest our current gun laws and the state of our political system but
There comes a time when everyone actually needs to try work together to beat something like covid as this is an enemy of everyone, it has no friends
The idea of heard immunity is going out the window as well as this thing seems to change itself very quickly, we get the flu inoculation each year as Lynette is immune compromised and each year the flu changes. this thing changes itself weekly if not daily
It will be hard to beat
Rant over
Been fishing, hunting, building on the hut, working on the 61 and the 60, drinking beer and telling lies, all the normal things
How about you guys
