mattwnz: I was watching parts of the standup today and the questions some of the people were asking were painful. It takes up to two weeks for people to start showing symptoms, as has been shown by people in MIQ who can test positive near the end of their stay. They have only been testing NZers for a few days yet some people suggested that it looks like no one has been infected. But testing isn’t even 100 percent accurate. Don’t think anyone asked if the bubble should be paused. But IMO Australia has a major problem and the travel bubble needs pausing imo. But I suspect they won’t do anything and we may end up with more cases in NZ. Again we seem to be trusting that people like close contacts will self isolate, when this didn’t work last year and resulted in a lockdown.

 

Honestly, it sort of defies belief it hasn't been paused. I say sort of, because in some ways it's how I expect this Government to handle things.

 

I mean, surely, SURELY it's common sense. You'd think someone might learn something from 18 months of being in charge of pandemic response.

 

They never learn.
