If you feel we could have easily gone out of the blocks and nailed 99% of everything, your in a  different reality.

 

 

I guess it's hard to reconcile the 'learning on the job' with the portrayal of a calculating, conservative and well-executed response, which is what the international media would have us believe we had.

 

Today, admissions that quarantine staff were not being tested to the level the Minister was assured they were being tested. 

 

"Everyone makes mistakes" is what I'd tell a toddler when they fall over or lose a ball over the fence. It's not good enough if Labour want to keep using phrases like 'this is a Covid19 election'. Devil-may-care/National would be worse!!! is not an acceptable response to process failure during a global pandemic.

 

Let me know when we have a day without a revelation of a systematic failure. I might be in a better mood then.

Did they say that? Im unsure what country managed a perfectly executed response. And was expected to do so, irregardless of how this virus differs to SARS, which was everyones go to plan. AFAIK he international media commented on our response, the haste of it and the harshness of it, i.e. level 4. Solve health you solve the economy. Victoria learnt that. Second time around that compares to Melbourne, an article in the media today comparing that. Obviously we could have done better. Today, now that we need it, testing is at levels that blows away Australia per capita.Thats far cry from early on when testing had to be created in numbers. Border testing yes thats poor that we heard. Does Hipkins need to stand there monitoring it? It seems so, Id like to know who advised him that its working as planned. Gerry managed EQC response, maybe he should take over, I dunno.... Is the response,one by an inept Govt who could not manage their way out of a paper bag, or is it quite difficult? How do we stop people breaking out as we probably are not allowed to keep them in prison. Some here want them locked in their rooms for 14 days.

But if we are not managing it well, and we have daily systematic failures, Maybe ACT can help. Or Michael Woodhouse. 

I'll wait for tomorrows failures to be reported.
