Yeah - to be fair, change the word 'normal' to 'special' - and I think the boomer-dinosaur might be spot-on.
Everybody's special! Yay! -

you can't appropriate that just because you are from Northland bro

No community cases again today. Still early but shit we have been lucky
Meanwhile the government is doubling down on the KFC worker's claims. 15 texts seems like a lot....

Who bloody knows anymore. For what ever reason this thing does not seem to spread with the enthusiasm that was seen in the NH

my entire point (no, rant, rant is a better word) this entire time has been, our options do not appear to be just lockdown everything all the time, or otherwise the UK. But i hear that sort of message a lot in justification.
But yes, i freely admit that i have no fucking idea, and i am basing my ranty opinions on the privileged position we appear to be in.
I still struggle to wrap my head around the US numbers.

@mariner4life their numbers are beyond mental. The tally of infectious folk let alone the death figures. How many of our stadiums filled how many times.
Deep in the Stuff article it listed a number of ways the Govt is trying to connect with youth and various target groups. If the messaging is so shit I guess the rep of some of those groups is gonna take a hit? or will they plead that the Govt didn't listen to their advice?

@paekakboyz am sure there is always someone else to blame!

I don't. Third most populous nation on earth, half of which are fat fluffybunnies.

Half?
Last time I was there I saw morbidly obese people in their 30s and 40s riding mobility scooters eating their massive meals. They were ripe for this kind of disease

@canefan what is interesting is some of the other countries that have been smashed (death per mill)
Czechia & Belgium are at the top, Mexico's numbers look to only recently starting to tail off, but they have long been seen as one of the Obesity capitals.
I know when I spoke to my mate in Prague back in October, he was extremely critical of how relaxed they had let thing go very recently, and the numbers were starting to get out of control then.

So multifactorial then

Sounds like the KFC girl can form a decent argument that she thought she was doing the right thing. Text messages were shown on TV and were apparently ambiguous according to Mrs CF, and I can believe that. The other guy has no such out, he's just a selfish fluffybunny

@canefan I didnt see that bit but they were talking about the cultural and language barriers...
I dont buy it, these people have been living in NZ for the last year, know what is going on, so they are choosing to do things how they do them (jeez you only need to watch Border Patrol or whatever it is to see how many people try to use language as a reason they had all those seeds and meat products in thier suitcase)
