I just saw a photo someone took inside their local covid testing 'tent'

apart from the staff, there was no distancing and not everyone had facemasks , and far too many in the small testing tent at once .
Several people, some who suspect they may have it, standing together closely in the same testing tent ....
Surely to god , have 1 person in the testing tent at a time. Why is this all so hard to get right ?

 

 

 

 

if it were easy for humans to get we won't have a pandemic

I've just been out to fuel car & pick up Prescription medicine in Auckland. - I wore Mask & Gloves.

VERY dissapointed, in the number of people out of 100+
80%+ NO face mask or face covering(scarf) of any shape or form!!!!
(30%+ of those Pacifica).

How dumb are people!

concordnz: Tokoroa case
could easily been caused by infected idiots escaping Auckland before the midday lock down & stopping there for fuel/bite to eat.

That was how Italy turned into a disaster.

 

No - it's tied to the index case family trip to Rotorua.

 

Please don't condemn them - they did the right thing and got tested.

The Tokoroa cases are close contact/related to the family.

Chris Hipkins is an infinite amount better at communication than his predecessor, and is more reassuring and confident in his responses.

Seemed so - he clarified the situation later though.

 

Hipkins is a curious character - but he seems to be on top of things, he's dealing with the press confidently and quite concisely IMO.

Thanks, Good to know,

I guess we will find out in 3-7 days if there has been further spread by 'Auckland lock down escapees'
