@Nepia said in Coronavirus: should I be panicking yet?:
@canefan Damn NZ has just gone Fuck Off, without even the we're full.
I don't often agree with Cindy. But that is a strong decision, we have 6 cases and we aren't going to let the fox into the henhouse

so will there be monitoring of people arriving, or just telling people to self-isolate and trusting they will?

That is a good question. If people can't even be trusted not to bring fruit into the country can we trust them on this? Better get more cots up at Whenuapai... didn't the government buy a hotel for this purpose?

That is a strong position
Does that mean the Bulls will be told not to travel? Do the Hurricanes forfeit that game?

I expect that this will be the last round of super rugby for a while

In Taiwan people were threatened with big fines. One guy went out clubbing and they slapped him with a 10 grand fine

Pretty full on rules. Basically nobody will want to visit nz for the next 16 days at least.
Can nz handle no visitors for that long?
Are we certain infected travelers will not come months later?I don't know the answers but will look for the impact of no inbound travel and the ROI of such a decision in the months to follow.
Trust in the health authorities I guess

These restrictions are going to have to last a long time, probably until a vaccine is developed.

@hydro11 Michael Osterholm informed that a vaccine will take more than a year. He said he could make one tonight but how to test it for safety? Apparently a common measles vaccine had to be recalled after it started killing kids.
I've given up on vaccines, only because I listened to 1 podcast.

What determines when we return to normal supply chain, travel and business?
I've got a feeling these ultra safe life disruptions become less stringent due not to an improving health situation but more to stop financial losses.
Think it'll be money vs actual health and money will win

I don't think so. They want to snuff the virus out by starving it of new victims

I assume the MoH will register everyone on arrival so they can check on them to make sure they are self-isolating. Obviously that still requires a large degree of self-responsibility but self-isolation does not mean you have to become a hermit.
As the 6th positive returned from the USA it means they can't just focus on people returning from Europe, Iran and SE Asia.
