So we agree that we can have whatever opinions we want no matter where we are from?

Aren't you aligned with the globalists? I don't see why you have a problem with this.

I just mean that not every country holds your countrys opinions on personal freedom and community responsibility.

From an outside perspective America has not handled this pandemic well given its resources and wealth.
Cool America sucks take. I see things happening in Australia that wouldn’t happen here because the cops would be shot right in the fucking face…and rightfully so.
Cool Australia sucks take. I see cops killing people of color here in the states and not get shot in the face
I know and it’s disgusting. Zoning gun shops out of existence in big cities disproportionately affects black and brown people. Bring guns back to the inner cities for equity!

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

If you like your vaccine, you can keep your vaccine, but
Spoiler: show
you’re going to be disappointed in the results. Stock up on masks.
you don't understand how vaccines work. they're not the issue, please stop blaming them.

They were trying to sell that to us sixteen months ago here. I don’t consider quarantining the healthy to be a minor inconvenience, but I’m just a selfish asshole who still believes in the concept of freedom.

You could argue the lockdowns, even if they keep the nurses and docs freed up enough to tick tock dance, still are a net negative, so there's that. All the pampered WFH types on RM have a real hard time seeing the forest from the trees on that one though.

I'd take what they're doing over what our leaders aren't doing, yes.

You may want to read the article above. There is a real world chance that if you are in need of urgent care and go to a hospital, you could be turned away.

All because selfish cunts who screamed "FREEDOM" are now clogging up ICUs and taking up resources.

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
