This is just nuts. New Zealand is a nation of about 5MM people while the US has about 329MM people. If you gross up the 32 new cases in New Zealand to make it equal to the US' population, you get roughly 2,100 new cases. Even if you isolate the size-adjustment for Auckland and her 1.7MM people, you still get about 5,000 new cases. In contrast, the average of daily new cases in the US has hovered around 53,000.

The "Phase 3" Restrictions in Auckland are:

Under Level 3, which is now in place in Auckland, all public places – such as libraries, museums, cinemas, food courts, and playgrounds – must be closed. People must work from home where possible, and children are encouraged to "learn from home". Residents have been told to stay in their “household bubbles” when not at work or school if they have to attend. Supermarkets and petrol stations can open, but other “close contact” businesses must shut. People can still go to workplaces and schools, but they must keep their distance and wear a mask if possible. Gatherings of more than 100 are banned.

This is the key phrase in this article:

"As we have said from the start, our overall Covid-19 strategy remains elimination"

THIS is the DNC's dream world.

Heard that New Zealand has been kind of hard left for a long while now. Don’t know if that’s true.

If it hasn’t ripped through your area once, it’s going to. Just a matter of when. Rip the damn bandaid off and get it on and get it over with.

Isn’t New Zealand where Bill Gates and George Soros have their guarded SHTF escape compounds?

You cannot stamp out the virus; you have to let it run its course.

New Zealand has a negligible amount of international travel and most of it is buffered through Australia. If they can’t keep it out their country, no country on Earth can.

Notice that no media reports on the economic cost of NZ’s extreme response.

Angry Ram died shortly before COVID. Coincidence? Or was Angry Ram’s ramming the only thing keeping COVID at bay?
