@taniwharugby Social isolation in a jail cell seems appropriate.

see that dick that filmed himself coughing on people is being held in custody, has been tested for CV, and apparently judge is holding determining if he should be bailed based on the results...so if he is positive the punishment will no doubt increase?
that is a scum move. what the fuck is wrong with people?

Fucker was smiling at himself in his video as he was doing it too. Should send him into the general population, let the inmates have their way with him

Today's number of cases
- new cases: 67 - 39 confirmed and 28 probable (decline of nearly 25 percent from Sunday's high of 89)
- total number of cases (incl probable): 1106
- recovered: 176
- in hospital: 13
- in ICU: 3 (2 stable, 1 critical)
- 2 discharged from hospital since yesterday
Of the 1106 confirmed and probable cases:
- 43 percent (around 476 cases) have a direct link to overseas travel
- 38 percent (420 cases) are close contacts of other confirmed cases
- 2 percent (about 22 cases) are being treated as community transmission
- the remaining 17 percent (188 cases) are still being investigated
Tests
- 7 day rolling average of tests: 2,846 a day
- tests since 31/1: just under 40,000
- tests on Sunday: 3,709
Clusters:
- 12 significant clusters
- largest of these clusters: linked to Marist College in Auckland - 72 cases
- the other nine clusters have between 13 and 62 associated cases
- one of the newest clusters, around a rest home in Christchurch (15 confirmed and probable cases amongst residents and staff), has resulted in 20 residents of the home being moved to hospital in order to ensure they can be looked after properly and strict isolation for those who may be close contacts can be maintained.

If he has the disease and infected someone else with it, he's looking at much more serious charges than currently (infecting with Disease, max sentence 14 years).

So the numbers look good right. I keep hearing the Gov say they need to see more testing, more regional testing, to really be confident they're on top of this. But what I haven't really seen is what the process is to do that testing. Do they have the kid? When will they start? How many people will they test? Just those who are symptomatic? And How many tests/negative results is enough to go back to L3 or (Jesus, imagine!), L2?

That's the face of a man who deserves to have his teeth kicked in!!!

@voodoo They're already testing regionally - Every DHB has testing stations set up. I guess they just need more. Bloomfield has said there are plenty of testing kits.
I don't think there's been any more detail than that. He did say that they are evaluating what criteria need to be satisfied to return to L3 and what a L3 scenario might look like, now. Hoped to have something out by end of week.
In other good news our doubling days have increased from 6-8

@canefan well the good news for those he thought it amusing to couh on is that he doesnt have CV, but he should still be charged with the full extent of whatever laws he has broken.
I reckon plenty of people would have smacked him if he'd doen that to them.

Sadly the charge was downgraded to 'offensive behaviour' which carries the worst repercussion of a $1,000 fine. Happily however he's already up on a separate DIC charge yet to be heard. I don't think his recent antics will help his case there. Well, I hope not. He's also been barred from using the internet for anything other than communicating with family. But he's not bright enough to abide by this so I expect tonight he'll knock back a couple of cheap riggers of cider and make a fluffybunny of himself online again. At least, I hope so.
I can also tell you that he doesn't work for the company who's branded hi-vis top he's wearing. He was a temp who worked for a company contracted to them, and it's likely he came by this top via unscrupulous means.

It appears that the Christchurch Cougher has form
Forced sterilisation and a few months work as a police dog training dummy would seem appropriate

Seems harsh. He already has to live in Christchurch.

@dogmeat said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Good to hear our PM confirm that both The Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy are considered essential services...
Did she actually say that?
I dont like her but she definitely has a John Key like ability to connect with the public in general.
Something English, Robertson, Cunliffe, Twyford, Bridges etc just dont have, -
@Baron-Silas-Greenback
She did and went on to explain to kids that the Easter bunny was very busy this year so don’t be disappointed if he doesn’t get around everywhereSuggested kids draw an Easter egg and put in their window so the neighbourhood kids could have an Easter egg hunt
She’s bloody good at that stuff

Who knew a degree in communications would come in so handy?
