@voodoo Holding pattern bro, if we can make it till some form of vaccine etc then that's the end goal. No idea if it's actually viable but I'm in no rush to put our medical system to the test if it spreads wide.
Has our system been tested???
That's a rhetorical question btw
We moved looong ago from "curve flattening " to "total elimination "
After going for flattening the curve we (accidentally IMO) found elimination tantalizingly close, went for it, and it has been well worth it .
If we'd known how 'easy' it was back then ....

Easy to achieve, totally destructive to maintain

four people so schools close, bars and restaurants close, too bad if you planned a wedding for Friday and had guests travel to attend.
And people think this is a good idea
Yeah, let's wait until its 100 and then shut down (probably entire country by then) for twice or 3 times as long but then maybe only ever partially reopen. Good plan.
Or
Close down 1 city immediately for a fortnight and then totally reopen. -

@canefan the timing is right for conspiracy theorists that's for sure.
I've seen a few already, an irony is that if you were going full conspiracy; on current poll results they'd have buried as much as they could until September. Or Jacinda would have done a Muldoon and drunkenly called a snap election for Monday...

I've already seen three social media posts from 'friends' saying they want the government to lockdown the border completely - no in, no out.
Is that an idea that ppl support?
I felt very "you're not a good enough kiwi for not coming home, so too bad" when I read it. Sadly, some of us can't just bolt there even though we want to.

@gt12 Legally, they can't stop Kiwis (citizens and residents) from coming home.
I know that, although I suspect the government can do something about that if they want.

If they are aiming for elimination, then that's the only way.

If the media are right, the idiots in the country have started panic buying at supermarkets again. Haven't they learned anything?
We'll be in lockdown level 4 by the weekend 😔
