@Hooroo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
I'm glad they have military in there monitoring it all now. It will remove empathy from decision making.
Empathy wasn't there to start with. Read the decision from the courts on the lack of compassion and decision making by the MoH and it'll make you shake your head.
They've gone from no empathy, to just laissez faire.

It's a different matter altogether having your own military in a position to tell your own civilians what they can and can't do. Law and order should always remain the purview of the police IMO.
If you have enough of them and the military aren't sitting around doing nothing I would agree.

@Hooroo see that I expect, they are in quarantine after arriving from somewhere else and if the processes there are stringent, there is no issues.
Absolutely.

@Virgil not to returning NZers - plus anyone getting approval to enter where we've got specialist skills shortages. Can't recall the last mention of how many kiwis are overseas, but seems a fair few want to return!
I assume if even if a relatively small % of NZers in Oz want to return it would reach that 2000 a week pretty easily.

@Paekakboyz wasnt there like 30,000 or so in those first few weeks around lockdown?
-
@taniwharugby yeah I think it was a big number - but aren't there shitloads of us spread out worldwide?

@Bones Corona, CA near Disneyland. I have my temp taken every day as a requirement of my job in addition other questions, face mask and face shield. Don’t get me started on the face shield. Even the health care industry is acting irrationally.

apparently, the woman who assisted those poor lost women on thier journey to Wellington has tested negative.
While I agree in part to this article, there has to be some personal responsibility to people as well.
If I had a plan laid out to travel in the current environment, I'd follow it strictly, and if I had to break it, I'd be as careful as possible not to come in contact with someone...fuck, I still use the sanitiser in every shop that has them, I have some in my car that I use all the time too, I think it has been well over 2 months since the last case up here?

@taniwharugby 'not a witch hunt'.
No accountability at any level. Honestly, I'm shaking my head.
Go back to any government of the past few decades, and people would have been out of jobs for less. Key, Clarke, Shipley, Bolger, all would have swung an axe for this. Not just been frustrated and annoyed.

What if the plan you laid out was clearly bogus and couldn't have been signed off on without the person in charge knowing? Wouldn't you just assume they don't care and you have a lot of leeway?
-
@taniwharugby yeah exactly, I'm sure even (especially) being unfamiliar to the country that it wasn't feasible and realistic, so when they got it signed off they probably thought it doesn't really matter.
