And now in Wellington, Tauranga/Mt Maunganui. They can no longer stop it, it is coming and all they did was delay it by 18 months.

Bollocks - they could stop it by putting the whole country into another four week lockdown... and "all they did in the last 18 months" was get a large chunk of the population vaccinated
Stay home and stay safe everybody...
RE: chch case - crafters_corner - 19-11-2021
It was inevitable that it was going to travel down and across the country.
Have the vaccine, to give yourself the best chance of not getting the virus, or at least, you won't be as sick, as you would if you hadn't had the vaxx's.

What about all the people who will travel to Auckland? Will they get contaminated?

Those advantages are not to be sneezed at and you make use of them, or not, at your peril.

RE: chch case - Me+Me - 19-11-2021
eh ? the risk of infection is not 'mitigated if you are exposed to the virus'. It's only mitigated if you have been vaccinated.

And by doing so, get most of the country vaccinated and save a LOT of lives and an overwhelmed healthcare system.
Elimination was never going to be a forever strategy.

If 2nd dose was towards end of July, they will only be at 47% protection against infection, just in time for xmas visits from Auckland. They can't get a booster until end Jan. Yet there's no advice as to whether those people need to stay at home or add to a possible infection pool.

RE: chch case - Oh_hunnihunni - 20-11-2021
Idiots are not limited to Auckland it seems.
We bought the rest of the country some time. No need to thank us, just get your jabs, mask up, social distance, and avoid contact with the vulnerable and the common sense challenged.
With luck you'll just get a light dose of the thing.
RE: chch case - Magoo - 20-11-2021
christchurch is our sodom and gomorrah (sp)
its sinners and blasphemers thrice smited with disaster and pestilence by god.
raze it
RE: chch case - Oh_hunnihunni - 21-11-2021
I don't know that that would solve the problem though magoo, those Christchurch people are pretty tough. They seem to take a pretty good smiting and just keep on keeping on, I doubt razzing them will have much effect beyond making them a bit irritated, and then we might get a bit of a pasting next time we send a team south...
So no, best play nicely with the Mainlanders I reckon.
