Covid Level 3 Auckland

In spite of human failures, so called dysfunction (which has been more human failure or learning curve as a very new situation  that has to evolve..)

We have kept Covid out ..

Where actual failure has been is those who have escaped isolation, ignored rules, blatantly ignored rules...

Not due to restricted border rules.. ppl still coming in..

 Yet todate each time NZ has managed to come out heads up.

Now Im real P155ed at this last incident...
A mother , in isolation decides to take a walk with a friend in the few hrs before officials get to her...
Then throw in a son decides to tiki tour around while meant to be in isolation and has  symptoms , waiting for results.

And we have our 30th wedding anniversary today  with weekends each end of this week stuffed.

No my bitterness and anger doesnt go towards officials, etc
 It goes directly to those stupid, ignorant ppl who inspite of everything screw Auckland and NZ up..

 And finally the Government is getting a few balls and getting a little upset about those who do not follow the rules.....
As to being upset.. thats when these details get passed onto the police who only then start to follow up and possibly prosecute..
 Which I think makes a mockery of the Government saying that government and police are separate...
Yet police cant do anything unless government pass info to the police.....which have not been doing so.
Which indicates the police are separate but have been manipulated by government yet are independent
Go figure ...

Actual risks and incidents have been to date, not borders .. but community self isolation where basic rules being broken by citizens and residences already in this country...

Waiouru has an airstrip, accommodation and messing facilities plus existing personnel to enforce quarantine procedures, perfect. Are you sure Waiouru has an airstrip capable of handling flights to & from overseas as it is as far as I am aware a military base ...

As far as I know the increase only applies to foreign students (they are letting some in) and essential workers - ie non Kiwis. Medical essential workers get changed same as kiwis. They claim even with this new charge the taxpayer is still subsidising the system. And last I heard - at least 30% of the invoices have been unpaid. And they have no track of where the people are. many I suspect have come...........and gone again. Home for Xmas to visit aunty etc and back to wherever they came from. You have to fill in a form declaring if you 'intend' to stay in NZ more than 3 mths. But like a lot of Cindy's plans, there is no system to check those that may be dishonest. Alan

I doubt many of the returnees will stay here, they already decided it was better to live elsewhere.

In the UK where Boris had been under fire but he is rising again.

Meanwhile in Washington Biden praises Ardern while signing off policy that allows men to compete against women in sports.

Steps what you got to realise is people are phoning the Unite Against COVID Team and asking advice. It is just not coming from the horses mouth.

A woman just on the radio was part of the K Mart cluster and was asked to isolate and they got to her 5 days after possible contact. Her husband is still going to work! And in her time off felt sick! How does that make any sense?

Plus all her check ups have basically been crap, repeated questions with no concern to her specific history. To her credit she has stayed home.

It seems the young lady who was linked to the KFC got contrary advice also.

I supposed the overwhelming support for Jacinda just goes to show how ignorant the vast majority are.  It simply amazes me that we have gone this long with the vast majority believing that our COVID response has been anything other than incompetent.

Stand to be corected above as to the web page stuff thaty has comer out since my post...

 Nope no sence at all

 And then we get people like this person and so many others with simple basic commonsense.

 Which Im sure that most of the posters here would have thought to themselves "this doesnt make sense" and used basic commonsense.. and stayed home as well
Well I hope Im right most posters would have had that commonsense right?

My wife, a teacher , then in Sth Auckland, a while ago had a couple cold symptoms... She was told to stay at home till results came back (about 24hrs later) ..And so did our whole 'bubble'
Out of simple commonsense..

Oh thats right we dont have that anymore.. we do what we are told even if doesnt make sense... or even bother to question/ ask.. "would it not be better for the whole household stay home?

No common sence = stupidity

hmm, commonsense? That would include locking down the whole of NZ for a few cases in Papatoetoe?
