Yup it’s idiots like this that make self isolation a hollow response. For every person that does the right thing and does as told there will be plenty more idiots like this guy.
He actually found out he was positive while hanging out in a Wellington cafe..

Are people like this sociopaths or merely didn't grasp the concept of exponential increase at school?

@Virgil Fuckwit. In some ways I wish the govt would shut the borders to all except citizens and residents, and anyone who flies in has to undergo mandatory testing/quarantine at a location until given the all clear. If our spike comes closer to winter, we are fucked. The hospitals are already stretched to capacity with regular stuff, and it hits breaking point in winter with flu etc. Virus as well tips us into disaster zone.

Agree, to me the biggest concern is the complete shut down of public services. If hospitals etc are struggling now ( as per a story the other week) how will they cope once there’s a community outbreak.
And chances are their will be.
Our ‘world class’ health system won’t manage at all
I feel sorry for any expecting couples out there, that must be scary as fuck.We aren’t panic buying but the mrs is mind full to keep a well stocked pantry and fridge. Those with young kids know how much food they stuff down on a daily basis.
No not over stocking on toilet paper, willing to take my chances on that one.. -

I'd be reviewing what questions he was asked at the border and what he told border protection staff.

The dude in Taiwan who flew in from Wuhan, and instead of self quarantining went to a nightclub, got fined $10K. We should do a similar thing. Anyone knowingly threatening our country should have to pay

@canefan Can't see things opening up internationally in the immediate future, so I think an NZ Mini-Series is the answer.
Only possible until a player tests positive. Then hwo do you continue it?
This looks like it's going to have some real legs I fear
If all sports are going to be canned - we'll have to start National Service weekends, where everyone gets out and picks up rubbish, etc.
Otherwise what is the populace going to do at weekends? Hang around in shopping malls?
Yeah, and talk bollocks on the internet. It'd be a disaster!
If this gets into the community at large, then gatherings (like even kids sports) could be canned. I am not sure we're appreciating quite how big this could be, and how much it will effect things.
If it gets out into the community at large then we will probably be like China and Italy and everything will close.
But, since we're not there yet, we can hope that the current measures might stop us getting there.
Our isolation and low population helps. But there's nothing wrong with trying to stay ahead of the play
If it works, it's a master stroke and a small price to pay IMO. Difficult decision to take as an administration too. Because enforcing social distancing by restricting migration is a hammer type approach.
It will be interesting to see the difference, if any, compared to Australia. We have confirmed cases in every state and territory. We actively sought to bring in Chinese students for the start of university semester. We simply don't know how many people have been infected prior to implementing stricter controls.
I had a conference call this morning to discuss work arrangements and what can be achieved given the restrictions imposed by the organisation. That aspect alone will be "exciting" given the narrow windows of opportunity we have.
People can come in, they just have to sit out for 14 days, unlike the USA which is a total ban? Mrs CF works at Auckland Uni and students have not been allowed to return to NZ to start the semester.
I was watching Mina Kimes on High Noon ESPN talk show. She used to be a corporate journalist and said that in her experience, in crisis situations big organizations never regret taking aggressive action in hindsight, better safe than sorry and if things turn out less than you think you look great. If you drop the ball you may suffer major damage to reputation etc

@Virgil Yup. And the trouble with self isolation, is that you just KNOW there will be twats who don't do it. (I don't understand the toilet paper thing at all. It's a respiratory virus you dumbarses, you won't be shitting like a racehorse.)
The mrs had a run in with one fuckwit on a fb page who’s definition of isolation is that it’s fine to still go to public places like supermarkets etc as long as you don’t touch anyone...
It’s scary to think the world is full of fuck shits like that guy and the c&nt that flew in from Oz knowing he may have it ( he recently flew home to Oz from France) -

More likely someone else will pay for their missteps. If you live in NZ I think you can report such people to the Police now? I might be mistaken but I thought I breezed past that tidbit earlier today

Please no, don't turn it into something to report to police. If this thing goes further into the shit, police (and other emergency services) will be busy enough without having to investigate that shit as well. And they will be more than likely operating on reduced staff.

I could be wrong (like that's never happened) but I thought I read that Cindy advised people to contact the police so they could enforce the quarantine
-
@canefan it wouldn't surprise me, but I can't see police having the resources to investigate this properly as well as keeping up with core duties. Police are stretched enough in normal times keeping up with demand.
There is already talk over here of moving non operational police into operational roles to cover impending staff shortages. Sounds good in theory, but from an operational point of view, many non operatonal police won't remember how to do the operational job and will end up being a bit of a pain in the arse.

A dedicated number would be better than 111....with a team to determine action, be easier to resource.

There already is a non-emergency number, 105
