When the people of New Zealand are still on the wild, roller coaster ride of lockdowns NEXT YEAR, we will see if this socialist is still wildly popular.

I was just pointing out that no one accused her of an attempted coup.

‘...so apparently people are still willing to tolerate all of this.’

this will be the epitaph of this virus response when history records the massive contraction of quality of life after covid...

‘the people tolerated it, all of it...’

There is no silver bullet. Every method has its downside. It’s the same for any vaccine too. No vaccine has killed off the other flu(s), and this virus won’t be any different.

Pick your method of slowing it and take your lumps.

‘All they are doing is re enforcing the idea that the government can lock the country down anytime and the people have no choice but to bow down and obey.’

if you lived where I do (Lancaster County PA) you would see that the people themselves wish to have no choice but to bow down and obey...

Like they say, “The people always get the government they deserve.”

Lockdowns only delay an inevitable reckoning.

It worked as long as New Zealand sealed herself from the rest of the world.

Which is impossible because all it takes is one container ship from China to spread the virus in New Zealand.

They should purchase the Russian vaccine and inoculate their population by October.

What happened is that COVID-19 is a virus that is now among the population. A rather mild one for the majority of the infected. Especially when compared to some viruses of the past and even the present.

Isolating the entire population is stupid. Just isolate people 75+ and let the genral population develop immunity naturally. Then take the 75+ out of isolation. Problem solved. At this point this is the best we can do.

You mean, there’s no stopping them until there’s natural herd immunity or a manufactured herd immunity (vaccine). Until that happens, viruses will run their course. Lockdowns will only elongate the amount of time they will infect people, and all you can hope for is that a manufactured vaccine comes along sooner than the lockdowns last. Human beings aren’t meant to be locked down. I don’t think many organisms are made for that.

We can always get the antifa / BLM boys and girls to yell “MEDIC” for us. They’ll know what to do.
