The same will be happening here soon thanks to many provinces having inept leaders who are always behind the ball.

A COVID Surge Is Overwhelming U.S. Hospitals, Raising Fears Of Rationed Care

Would you prefer they went full Australia on you? Just govern the fuck out of you? Is that the path to safety?

You make it sound like we're living in hell down here in the southern hemisphere - it's really not all that bad, plus I'd rather have this - go outside in a week or two and have life back to normal without worrying if I'm about to pass something potentiall fatal or life changing onto someone

New Zealand is not part of Australia; every Kiwi I’ve ever met has been clear on that. I don’t believe anything your gov is doing even approaches the Orwellian shit being trialed in South Australia.

The naiveté of you still buying into the, “2 weeks 4 safety” mantra is actually pretty charming. Is the plan to just do rolling lockdowns every time there’s a case until the end of time?

Till we have our vaccination numbers up. We were real late rolling out the vaccine, which made sense at the time

Except it's quite clear vaccination numbers aren't going to stop "cases", which is what all the lockdown bullshit seems to be based off of.

Except that in my next post I think - I'd made it clear that it was about not overwhelming the hospitals, which is what they've openly said. Lockdown (except Auckland) is pretty much over from midnight. We might have some more lockdowns down the road, but honestly who cares - it's a minor inconvenience at most for a brief period

You guys enjoy being in the fetal position, I get it.

Sure, whatever....
I do enjoy the whole WFH thing, but during lockdowns it gets a whole lot harder then just WFH. A few weeks of lockdown is going to have a minimal negative effect, unless you're that far up your own arse that putting yourself out for a wee bit is going to screw you up. The economy is still fine - from Sept last year I think we've had maybe 4 -5 weeks of any level of lockdown here. It's really not a big deal

What about the tourist industry? Fuck those people?

Most of them will be fine, some maybe not....

Lol

Safety isn’t real, right?

Oh it's real. It's basically your new religion.

So what are you worried about?

I love how some people think that if you aren't living in America you're basically living in the cold war era USSR or something. Like living in New Zealand or Australia is some shitty thing because they have to wear masks and can't have guns. I'll take that any day over driving by strip malls in Moline any day

You accidentally forgot to mention the facial recognition app where they check in on you randomly and you have to prove you’re at home. It’s a minor inconvenience and would really make me feel safer.

The one that's used for those who are Covid positive and need to be quarantining?

The one I read about is being tested on an opt-in basis…until they inevitably roll it out for everyone.

It's not about the "trolling" it's about eliminating opposing viewpoints. B actually permabanned me "accidentally" once. He almost got away with it.

Oh - I'd just heard is was for those who were meant to be in quarantine. Seems a bit too far

I know. I’m just so tired, verb. When will this all be over so a winner can be declared? Never, and we all lose anyway in the end.

I guess if the final post in this thread was Stickman with a tweet of you and me in the hospital dying of covid minutes apart, hand in hand, I guess that would own us pretty hard.
