New Zealand’s Covid outbreak [104 cases] spreads to South Island
The Guardian ^ | Sat 23 Oct 2021 05.03 BST

Posted on 10/24/2021 4:09:19 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Most of the new infections reportedon Saturday were in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city that has been under a strict lockdown for more than two months. Looser restrictions are in place in most of the rest of the country of 5 million.

The risks of a further spread from the case reported in Blenheim, in the north-east of the South Island, remained low, health officials said, with the person likely in the late stage of infection.

On Friday, prime minister Jacinda Ardern said that New Zealand will end its strict lockdown measures and restore more freedoms only when 90% of its eligible population is fully vaccinated. As of Saturday, 70% of those eligible were fully inoculated.

The number of cases in the current outbreak reached 2,492 and New Zealand has recorded 28 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the pandemic.

104 out of 5 million sounds like roughly the same incidence as people who die eating laundry detergent.

If the government controls your freedom, then you don’t have freedom.

The past couple years has been a horror show as regards COVID-19.

So, why do I want a pant load of bad shit to happen to Kiwis and Aussies?

Am I wrong?

24 Oct: Breitbart: New Zealand Prime Minister Admits She Wants to Create Two Classes of Citizens Based on Vaccination Status
by Katherine Hamilton
“So you’ve basically said, you probably don’t see it like this, but two different classes of people — if you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated. You have all these rights if you are vaccinated —” NZ Herald‘s deputy political editor Derek Cheng asked Ardern.

“That is what it is, yep,” Ardern replied...

across the Tasman - the more vaccinations, the more “freedom”; vaccines will give you “full protection”?

24 Oct: India TV News (With ANI inputs): Australia launches ‘spread freedom’ COVID vaccination push amid battle against 3rd wave
As of Saturday, 86.6 pc of Australians had received at least one COVID vaccine dose and 73.1 pc were fully inoculated. (Lieutenant General) John Frewen, the COVID Taskforce commander, said Australia was on track to become one of the most vaccinated countries in the world.
Dubbed “spread freedom,” the campaign emphasizes the benefits of getting vaccinated against COVID-19 such as the freedom to travel interstate and overseas, reminding people that with ***increasing vaccinations they are able to return to a more normal and free life...
“If you want to be ***fully protected before Christmas, then you really need to start coming forward now to that first dose to get the whole process done.”...

It’s a shame the country is so beautiful and infected with idiots. They should just turn it over to the sheep. They are the majority as there are more sheep than people living there.
