Well one is a nurse and there have been known PPE lapses in the hospitals. I don’t know why they didn’t put together a Covid handling facility near the airport saving them taking the infected to general hospitals. It’s only been 18 months now. |

Read the news, there’s now 5. Go live in NSW. Any party would have done the same. Its not the governments or elected politicians call in NZ... its the Chief medical officer .. same principles as wit civil defense emergencies Hence why the 1st lock down was deemed illegal.. because an elected politician took credit for calling it .. Rather than Chief medical officer .. Read the Judges sumury of the case. At least this time no weather windows ..... Think this thru guys.... We have one of the worst hospital beds to population ratios.. way down with Mexico. And still one of the lowest vaccination levels over the whole population This spreads.. you will not be taking your wife, kids, parents to the hospital to get Oxygen/ treatment... and if you do they will just be lined up in the corridors... BY THEMSELVES.. desperately trying to suck air terrified as hell.. Now enjoy that thought. That is where this and previus governments have lead us to |

Maybe learn to spell before having an obviously uneducated rant. There are so many reasons why this is the right call, as much as I hate it, it needs to be done. It was never ‘if’ but ‘when’ this was going to ------------- 6.7m Surtees PureFisher - "Kraken" |

Yeah it's inconvenient for many, but it is the best thing to do. I do feel for self employed people, let's hope it's short. Be good to reach other... On a side note, I've got plenty of fiberglassing great and ply to carry on with my boat project, so I'm not complaining ------------- you can't fix an idiot with duct tape, but it does muffle them for a while... |

Maybe learn to spell before having an obviously uneducated rant. Sry Agre with theme of you post but this gets right up my nose. Why? Im dyslexic..and reasonably educated... go back to my posts yrs ago pre spell checker... Spelling has nothing to do with education or intelligence. At which point I note, ppl who think so are usually the same ppl who talk load to those in wheel chairs or are blind... Yeah you dont notice till you are on the receiving and.. or a m8 who is disable says something to the person, infont of you. Oh even with spell check, often you know the word its spits out wrong, one re invents the spelling over and over and still the wrong word..you think. (eg "Agre" and " infont" above So give those who cant spell a bloody break.. |

Yeah Unfortunately lock down is the only sure way of stopping more people from becoming infected. This virus needs people to people contact for it to survive. If you stop the contact you can kill it. It is unlikely but not impossible to become infected even after two vaccine doses. From memory about 3 people in every 100 may still transmit the virus after vaccine with our vaccine Phzier. In LA 1 in every 5 presenting with Delta had been vaccinated but I suspect with non Phzier vaccines which are not as effective against Delta. When we get 90 to 80% NZers vaccinated with Phzier (a great choice) the virus will not be able to transmit easily through the population and should die out.

| Pretty strange comment Lingee. I too have sympathy for businesses especially one. I was helping the guys at Rotorua Hunting and Fishing move to a new and far bigger shop. They hoped to re open on Thursday. We were on track but thats shot to **** now. While I don't agree with Jacindarella on most things, on this one she's right on the money. |

Evidently some roadblocks have been set up. Letting locals in and sending outsiders home. Quite a long drive for some...

I'm in full support of slashing the tyres of anyone normally domiciled in Auckland who fled it last night to anywhere but, potentially putting more people at risk. |

At some point in the future, if not already happening, and if the authorities can't do anything about it, we are going to see towns just out of Auckland forming their own vigilante road blocks the moment a lockdown is announced. |

| I don't understand all the idiots rushing to crowded supermarkets yesterday. With those crowds crammed into small indoor spaces it would only take one infected person in there for it to become a superspreader event and dozens or even hundreds leave the store infected. |

OK, a couple of guys have asked what happened to this. I hid it. Lingee took a bit of a bashing and I don't like to see too much of that stuff. I also don't want these great fishing forums to descend into a political bitch fest. There are a couple of threads stretching back to the original covid outbreak and it seems the whole world loves our PM except for everyone on here  . Some of our best contributors are involved in this so I figured I do owe an explanation. I did attempt to do that but then went and hid it rather than lock it. So here it is again. Be kind! I will shut it down eventually anyway because we don't want too much political stuff diverting us from our fishing interests now do we. ------------- Best gurnard fisherman in my street |

| Why do we need more than 1 covid thread?? Yes I am a contributor to it but surely one is enough and free up the briny bar for more serious stuff. |

OK then, I can keep this open, but I'll move it to the Politics Forum. The problem is that it still shows up in the New Posts section and some (most) days it looks like we're more focused on that than fishing. Then again, you guys keep the forum alive so I'm mindful of that

Bottom line guys For lock down or if covid is real or not of the vaccinations are BS.... Doesnt matter.. We have a lockdown, we have a serious flu floating around, and a choice to vaccinate. Those who just work in with and get on with it in these situations, for or against doesnt matter, come out the other side fine. Those who dont , stress worry, get distracted from the end game..Come out the other end not as well. Those in prisons, who have gone major civil uprisings, front line wars....must be shaking their heads in wonder that so many (or is it little as those complaining are a minority?) are stressing out over so little. |

So, does the pic below suggest that Maori and part Maori are allowed to go fishing for their gathering of food?? If so, then many of the population can fish off the shore... ------------- "The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." - Jacques Cousteau |

How rediculous. No alignment there. The Govt, Doc and the police info all over the show. Not to mention the locals thinking they are above the law either way. ------------- Why choose either diving or fishing when you can do both. Besides crayfish tail is very good bait!! |

No, it doesn't suggest that. All it means is customary quota still applies. But given that there are no mass gatherings allowed in level 4, chances are none or very little customary permits would be authorized. ------------- Top 10 finish 2024 Grunter Hunter. |
