New Zealand enters nationwide lockdown over one Covid case

The same country with a leftist gov that told its people dont be human and dont talk to each other while your outside. The same rules doesn't apply to the polticans themselves however.

For a single person. Does that make sense to anyone else?

3 days only doesn't make sense neither.

The last lockdown was 3 days, and that worked. I suppose you go with what you know.

But this will never end, there will always be a case, from now and forever more. I dunno man.

We have had hundreds of days with no community cases of COVID-19 because we did the lockdowns right. We can do it again and again. Are you suggesting that we should just not even try?

LOL

I honestly don't know what to think. Perpetually shutting down over a case, seems unsustainable in the long run.

Good way to test how dumbed down the sheep are.

That ' Article™ ' is so full of BS, lies, and propaganda, that even a preschooler can see through it.

They're not even trying anymore.
Perhaps they think the ' Game™ ' is already won ?

It's probably a false positive. I'd get a second opinion.

Nope.
This is no time for science.

Much better to shut down an entire nation, setting fear into the population, than to actually science.

Folks have got to start noticing at some point.

So you just give up?

So much for 'true grit'.

Specific genomic markers point the finger at Sydney, but the are still not able to find any direct transmission link.

Probably came in via one of the cases we have in quarantine.

True grit?..lol, I'm not American, if thats what you're talking.

No, not given up, I have had the shots, complied with orders, will continue where applicable, but I do question shutting down over every case that pops up. I dunno, like I said, I think this thing is never going to end, and there will be cases..no matter what way it's played.

How can businesses survive there with lockdown after lockdown?

Not to mention people not working to afford to pay their bills?

As I said, the last lockdown was for 3 days, and that did the job.

Can't American businesses survive a long weekend?

Is NZ a totally socialist nation where the Government pays you and owns all your stuff, or do you folks have to work for your food and junk?

Of course not, we are as Capitalist as the UK or Western Europe. But we also don't think that some deaths in place of saving a few dollars is a fair exchange.

But only 20%, that's weaksauce. You do know that we have had vaccines for months now right? Are you people all anti vax, or is it the government holding out on you?

Nah, yeah, nah.

At the time, since we had zero cases of COVID-19 in the community for more than a year, there didn't seem to be any urgency to get everyone vaccinated. And we were being cautious, only using the most effective vaccine and ensuring that people don't get missed out in the rush.

Oh, and vaccination here is entirely voluntary. No lotteries or inducements, no mandates - actual real freedom of choice, not like some of them 'other' countries.

I'm inclined to believe this as well. It's going to be an annual thing, much like the flu, and other cold virus'. It's not going to end, I just hope that we finally pull our collective heads out of our rears and realize this isn't smallpox or the 1918 flu. Are people going to die? Absolutely.

Yet we can't keep going around acting as if it's going to kill everyone, you can't protect the entire population of humans, people will get sick and die. Its only been happening for thousands of years.

It's killed 1/2 a million Americans in the first year. How many will it kill over then next few years?

It's an overreaction for sure, after all it's an island

Nope. Several Islands, about 600 by some counts.

, by it very nature as long as people are not allowed in and out of the country freely, they are self-isolated.

Well that doesn't appear to have worked here.

Also, how's it worked for you guys?

To me it's like I stubbed my toe and cut it, so I am going to cut my foot off to stop the possible development of gangrene from setting in, it's way overkill.

No, it's more like we deal with things before infection sets in. We can survive a long weekend

You guys have 'the gangrene' happening and you still can't seem to get up enough gumption to take very simple and basic precautions (like mask wearing, or social distancing).

1/2 a million out of 332 million. Just to put it in perspective.

Why? Do you keep breathing again, and again, and again?

Some things are necessary if you are going to stay healthy.

Wow, just wow, imagine what a power trip is to catch the cold and your whole country shuts down and everyone is sifting each others poop looking for variants or whatever.

Sounds super smart, god how proud i am of us hu-mans.

It's killing people all around us. It isn't a cold.

Are you saying the "common cold" does not , or has ever , been the cause of death for people ?

Some things are necessary if you are going to stay healthy.

And some things are unhealthy for future generations .
Isolation is one .

I think it would be more like holding your breath. You can for a while, but to long and you die. Same with businesses, three days may not be long, but months like the first lock down can indeed bankrupt them. It's all a matter of measure.

Which , counting all , has less than 1/2 the population of the State I live in in the US .

Wait , what ?
Why not just isolate the island(s) where the cases were allegedly found ?

Yes. Exactly. Just because there will be outbreaks is no reason to just let it spread out of control.
