@frankv I don't believe that vaccination should be compulsory, however, if someone chooses not to vaccinate then society can and should elect to place restrictions on them. Freedom comes with responsibilities.

 

 

Yes, that was my point. I never mentioned compulsory vaccinations.

Dingbatt:

 

I think I’ll give up taking annual leave. Yet another block about to get nullified by a lockdown. At least I managed to get some urgent domestic matters sorted this morning.

 

As for Aucklanders fleeing lockdown. I could rush off to the beach in the middle of winter, with only limited 3G data, one fan heater and limited TV. Or stay at home with fibre broadband and SkyTV and streaming services with the heat pump set to a comfortable temperature. I have a list of things I was going to do around the house during my leave anyway. So now all I need is some sunshine.

 

 

That is he best attitude, its not prison.

I can't believe how busy the liquor shops were. Even busier than the supermarket.

MikeB4: @Fred99 to be fair on Transpower this is the first year we have had winter. They really couldn’t plan for this unprecedented event.

 

There are reports of a damaged transmission line in this case.

TVNZ online streaming on their websites is down, probably due to everyone hitting it at once.

Level 4 all round, at a guess. Harder, faster, wider, longer...
