O, so NOW its either or, when only a few posts ago it was defiantly one and not the other. I guess at the time your position was absolute. "for now". You must be joking, right?
Brilliant, a perfect 180, ten points.

You just don't seem to be able to read properly.
Saint Taxcinda knows that the public loved it the last time she spoke to them like children and took away their freedoms "for their own good."
So now she's doing it all again.
Any connection between anything she says, and the truth about the virus outbreak in NZ, is entirely coincidental and impossible to take seriously.
But you obviously think she's doing a great job, and if she told you you were Spartacus and the moon is made of cheese you'd believe her. So fill your boots.

You need to drive with both eyes open, mal. And I'm not 'trying to get off the hook', I just don't really care about it as much as you seem to. We are burdened regardless of who we choose to lead us.

Any sense of Deja vue? When a fundamentalist, be they religous, or whatever else happens to be the loved hobby horse looks upon any data it is instantly filtered and distilled into whatever agreeable balm aligns with their spec of a world view, a spec of which they are king.
Constantly looking to reinforce their opinions rather than find the flaw in them. To pat themselves on the back, see I told you so, look at that, it proves I'm right, lkok at that, look at that! yeah that, the thing I just made of it, the thing I will always make of it because I don't know how to even try to begin to do otherwise, I'm the centre of the f!@#$%^ universe don't you know!
Self indulgence has always been the sworn enemy of critical thought.

Yep brings back those olden days where we battled the religious zealots. The human race truly seems to be unsalvageable at this point.

You can Google "John Key and X" and you will get page after page of results no matter what X is. Most of it furious invective written by furious, perma-outraged activists from Greenpeace or occupy wall street.
I never really understood why the far left was so triggered by him, he took National down a very "Labour-Lite" path, repealed nothing Helen Clark did, and doubled down on plenty of it (petrol tax, tobacco excise. )
You could Google "John Key took my children to the 4th dimension and ate them" and you'll probably get results.
One thing you WON'T hear much about, is if you Google "Jacinda Ardern really likes Tom Scott, the guy who sang about murdering John Key and raping his daughter". it's funny how people keep quiet about stuff they want to keep quiet about.

Whoops sorry didn't mean to restart the politics board! but just voicing the thoughts many of us have right now. We have been let down, we all did the hard yards and lost money, jobs, and lives as well. It's sad that lack of care has put us back in this situation. Bringing back to my original point, I hope it isn't as bad as it seems and we won't end up back in level 4.

Saw a snippet where there is the possibility it came in with some frozen food. One of the 'infected' works in a cool store.
I wouldnt be too sure on that.Most germs can survive in very cold conditions in a state similar to hibernation and awaken when temperatures rise .There are several examples of that.Where do you think it came from then?

Yawn. I'm not sure why anybody would embarrass themselves defending the National party when they have such conflicting views on border control. One minute they're moaning the borders are shut and its choking business, next minute they're blaming the Govt for community transmission because they let people in. This in itself is why they are unfit to be (and won't be) the next Govt. Utter disarray.

I guess that's what level 3 is intended as. Aucklanders "asked" to stay home. Kids home from school. "no" aucklanders out and no non aucklanders in. Self entitled of course feel the rule doesn't apply to them and head to the batch or the beach.

true but the time it takes to get here usually kills it off.

Lots of rumours circulating that the latest outbreak was caused by a breach in quarantine. This is the breach that Winnie was referencing, but the govt. is not keen on this becoming wider knowledge for "reasons".

Genome testing so far has seen no link with the current strains of Covid in the returnees. So the rumours are just that.

From what i have seen 2 things and i am not one who would vote labour. 1.They do a good job answering the medias question, The only questions they dont answer are trick questions like police use do to try and say you done it. And 2 The stop of community transmission has worked once before. We just need 7 to 14 days to find and quarantine all spread. provided somone with the virus does not go about spreading it claiming the earth is flat while doing so.
