Four people and you're at level 3? Well this is clearly a repeatable long term policy.
We are being run by fucking muppets.

I'd take Stadler and Waldorf over this lot.

I'm for it. Medium term.
Seems better than the other option. Stagnation. And majority of people avoiding society and the economy anyway
Would hope for better than 100 days covid free though.
Go hard and early again . Try to nip it in the bud. We did it before from a bigger base. This could be a compararive breeze . Then return to the awesome last 3 months we've just had

Awesome three months? You mean how life used to be? Just how long can NZ stay shut off from the rest of the world? Give it a couple of generations and someone will get ashore, sneeze and half of you will drop dead..

Four people, for now. They may find more related cases. That's what they are trying to find out now, with contact tracing and more testing.
In 3 days, they may know whether it's more widespread and take decisions about whether there's a need to extend the level 3 measures or whether another level is more appropriate. The Level 3 lockdown - in the mean time- may help stop it spreading further, if there are more cases.
I think this is the right decision. Try to nip it in the bud early.

Probably this is the last attempt. I'd be prepared to go for one more after that if get another good run.
Eventually citizen fatigue would make it futile. But in the mean time you've bought your self another 6 months to a year close to vaccines and retroviral.
And lifestyle been comparatively good getting there. Tbh. Kids at school, commumity sport, socializing, domestic holidays, and economic activity back to not too bad.
I've yet to see a more attractive economic or societal alternative.

@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 "

Our "gold standard" contact tracing is about to be tested though.
It's so good we have to shutdown most of the country to use it

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

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

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. -
