"Some people are just not particularly infectious,โ Baker said"
and how quick people forget!
We had that woman cruising around Northland while infected, visiting loads of places during a busy summer period, her husband in the car the whole time, several other close contacts, supposedly with the more virulent UK variant and yet nothing came of it, no one caught it from her.
Clickbait media are fluffybunnies

because it works TR, because an enormous amount of people on both sides of the ditch are more than happy with the status quo.

@siam I get your point, but in absence of an actual explanation as to how those 2 got it, what else is there?
Either way, I'm happy to cut Wellington lose and let them stay part of Aus to keep us safe, shut the borders!!
Isn't it just the aerosol theory anyway?
Like the 2 people in MIQ in NZ ages ago, only contact was breathing into same hotel corridor when getting their swab test at hotel room door. Doors not open at same time.
It seems to be possible, but the Delta variant isn't really relevant/new to that theory.

so no new cases today (community or MIQ)

@rapido they damn well should be though (that is where @MN5 lives isnt it?)
Iโm away for work at the moment but canโt wait to get home. Iโll be sure not to hug or kiss any casual acquaintances

@rapido tbh the central city is so small if you have even a small % of office folks working from home it can feel pretty empty.
Felt bloody empty today. You could swing several dead cats tied together while walking along the footpath on Willis Street at lunchtime today and not hit anyone. You'd piss off some dreadlocked Greenies, mind you. Gareth Morgan, not so much.

Da fuq, I'm not a greenie but you'd piss me off. Dogs though, go for your life.

Honey Badger Saloon was closed. WTF.
That severely impaired my 5-a-week fruit/vege goal, as their "Garbage Salad" contributes heavily towards that quota. -
@taniwharugby said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
so are people wearing masks on flights?
In my experience, yes (and its still mandatory even at level 1). Air NZ won't let people board without one, and Qantas is probably the same for trips to NZ.

@stargazer said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
The two in Tauranga had a far more fleeting interaction with the case and for a much shorter time.
the worrying part is, they reckon the new variant could be passed simply by passing one another in the street
Surely this doesn't pass as "science"?
Are we basically using the same level of scientific observation that we use when booboo goes to bed to get a wicket?๐Actually, don't answer that - I'm afraid of the answer๐
Are you questioning my skill as a wicket taker?
