Coronavirus - New Zealand

@voodoo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@dogmeat how does that gel with the stories we hear of 1 person infecting 70 people in a 1 minute lift ride etc?
1m distance sounds fair, but for 15mins? Seems arbitrary and odd?
Apparently most people who have the virus aren't very contagious - that's why the R0 of Covid-19 is around 2-3 (Measles is usually cited as between 12 and 18, for comparison). However, some people are extremely contagious, super-spreaders basically (especially the asymptomatic ones), and they are the ones who cause massive clusters from small contacts.
Hence NZ's caution - accidentally have a few of those get past quarantine, and we may have a lot of work to do to contain it again.
Incidentally, the roadblock for the Pacific bubble is them as well as us - we need to remove the requirement for quarantine for people returning from the Pacific Islands (this is currently being explored for the Realm particularly), but the islands/Realm also need to open their borders to NZ citizens and residents.

What the fucking fuck is wrong with these fluffybunnies.
If people can't stay in isolation for free, what hope is there for those expected to pay (will they have to pay before stay...)
Seriously, the hammer needs to fall on these fluffybunnies as hard as our laws can, given a shoot on sight order cant be given.
Shut the borders and name and shame these fluffybunnies so overseas kiwis know who to blame

I reckon you're more likely to stay if you pay! Fuck forking out all that moolah and then not getting your money's worth.

@taniwharugby massive fines and jail. Bloody sick of these stupid assholes causing trouble and putting others at risk. It's two weeks in a hotel. Not difficult.

Time to add some serious punishment to all that condemnation. These fucktards need to have the hammer dropped on them in a heavy enough way to send the right message to all the other fucktards to come that will think about doing the same thing. I'm fine with using anklets too. And if anyone complains tell them it was the Hamilton 5's fault
-
Surely the main driver of these fucksticks to coming home now is from the craziness elsewhere to a covid free NZ yet they risk that very thing by thier actions?
If any of these people are not NZ citizens, revoke thier residency and send them off, similarly if they are dual citizens and NZ not thier birth country they should send them away too.
-
@taniwharugby they don't deserve to be here. In fact by their actions they forfeit the right to be here IMO
-
Also, any fucker who helps these people should be charged too.

Waiting for more details to be released.
Four of the five people who allegedly absconded from managed isolation in Hamilton have been charged with breaching the coronavirus Health Act notice. A 37-year-old woman and three young people will appear before the district court and youth court in Hamilton on Saturday, police said. The fifth person, a 17-year-old boy, is set to appear before the youth court in Auckland where he is expected to be charged. The five absconded from the Distinction Hotel on Garnett Ave on Friday evening, Air Commodore Darryn Webb said.

Apparently they were awaiting compassionate leave to attend a funeral.
So the last one was caught in Auckland, assume he/she hitched?

Idiots! I hope they definitely miss the funeral now.
I knew we should have closed the border at the top of the Bombays.
