@mariner4life I think it passed the point of no further cases, but hopefully things have been caught soon enough to see there are only a handful more cases, and ideally already in siolation

No new community cases today. Its way early but at least we aren't seeing the kind of run of cases that will see us stuck in L3 for more than a week
just hope you are like Perth. Their last lockdown was on the back of 1 case (who happened to be an Uber driver) and they had zero community transmission cases.
Hope is all we have right now

Not trying to sound overly dramatic. But i don't think the authorities have any other plan other than test as many as possible and hope the spread is low

as discussed above, build a more resilient community - mask wearing, social distancing, bombarding people with meaningful ad campaigns about testing, mask wearing, social separation ...

@voodoo they started last weekend (as in 20/02)

Mate, I have to say, this sounds like a horrible way to live. The constant bombardment during L4 last year was pretty scarring - team of 5 mullion, "this is a Covid announcement" coming on your car radio, it's all quite dystopian. Having a continued bombardment of information telling us how terrifying this thing is, just doesn't sound like a society that is fun be a part of.
Maybe its naive of me to want / expect anything else, but it really doesn't appeal.

@voodoo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Genuine qn, not trolling, I'm just not close enough to the info, but what is thew vaccination plan for NZ? I think I saw 1st supplies arrived? What's the timeframe for rolling out, is enough secured for all?
If my medical colleague is to be believed, there is no real plan. As evidenced in one example by the snafu reported earlier today, where South Auckland GPs and other testing staff were denied access to excess stores of the Pfizer vaccine over the weekend

Then its the lockdown cycle for us. 1000 people at Murewai beach Sunday had to be told to disperse. Fatigue is setting in

I'm starting to sound like the "it's just the flue" whack jobs... but
can you blame them? You beat COVID some time last year when Eden Park was packed to the gills and it was a national fucking celebration. Well done everyone!! now go about your lives!
We all knew it was premature, but there was a seriously large amount of backslapping going on. And a lot of it pretty warranted if we are all fair. NZ still gets to do a lot of shit that people around the world can only dream of
You have a small number of cases, in 1 location (yes ish). This has been going on for 12 months. People are fucking jack of it. If your risk level looks (and in all likelihood is) pretty low, people are going to fudge it a bit.
NZ and Aus are in a great spot. People should be able to do a bit a the moment. Especially as summer comes to an end.
-
Someone correct me if my chinese whispers are wrong, but a confirmed case wandering around the community for a week and it's so infectious no other cases have yet been discovered?
-
@antipodean Same as the chick who drove around with her husband for hundreds of kms but he didn't get it?
-
@antipodean the copncern is, that the UK Variant presents differently with a slightly longer incubation.
But yeah the woman who drove for days around Northland with her husband supposedly had the SA variant, and he didnt get it.
Hopefully this is enough to jolt some people into remembering to do thie rbit.

That was an amazing one. Although not inconsistent with the level of close contact between a husband and a wife. The 21 year old must have been on a booty call with the underage member of the other household, hence their reluctance to fess up

@dogmeat said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@canefan I'm told that didn't happen. What happened was they had excess vaccine and sent out an email to GP's and more turned up than there was excess.
Haaaang on a minute, are you telling me that we can't believe everything we read on the interweb???
