Delta.  Much more infectious.

 

Elimination is dead. Its pointless.  Even if by some miracle we did reduce cases to zero, we'd invariably be back here again in another few months. And again. And again.

 

What needs to come now are lock-downs seeking to balance demands of not overloading the health system and doing as little damage is possible to the economy. 

 

The only way out of this is vaccination, but unfortunately there are plenty of nutters around who are going to make getting to a truly high level of vaccination coverage extremely difficult.

 

My prediction is level 3 continuing until the majority of the outstanding 2nd doses are given, then a reduction to a level 2.5, and then probably bouncing between 2.5 and 3 for the next 6-12 months.

 

And why hasn't Brian Tamaki been arrested yet?  Are they seriously going to let him get away with the nonsense that went on yesterday. He needs to be thrown behind bars for 6 months.

 

 

 

Fair enough, but its not a Delta issue. Obviously not helpful, but if you have compliance, you get a result, Delta extends that result. But the bottom line is piss poor compliance. And of the team of 1.7M in AKL its not them, its the families, households, neighbours that screwed it. You will always get that, but the volume this time around is huge. 

Im hopeful that Brian * gets called out by the media. Its super easy to arrest them all, but from a statute and human rights view, its probably not that easy
