Labour is DONE

[C_T_Russell]

harm_lessThere are 10s of 1,000s of NZers who are still alive who wouldn't have been is not for the COVID containment measures that were implemented

Only time will tell if that was ever worth it.
It's debatable how many would have died if you compare to other countries such as sweeten that did zero lockdowns.
This government had blown half a billion dollars on RAT tests that are being thrown out.
Bloody ridiculous, they are still burning through a billion dollars a week right now. Who pays? Your children, grand children and great grand children, that's who!

Compare the data: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

NZ (population 5M) 4,600 COVID deaths = 941 per million.

Sweden (population 10.4M) 24,536 COVID deaths = 2,401 per million.

NZ wins  

Regarding the RAT tests (I still have a couple of boxes supplied free from my GP). So what value do you put on each life saved by the RAT tests that were utilised?

So sweden only had about double our deaths of covid, not really that significant.
How many died of cancer here because of the lack of care due to covid lockdowns?
My friend has had cancer overlooked because the doctors didn't want to see him during covid. Appaling.
Don't forget this govt for a time banned us from importing the RAT tests. How many lives could have been saved had the public been allowed to buy them?
Also why did the govt blow so much money on these tests? There is like 36 million of the things sitting here that we never needed.
Why did the govt not sell the tests to another country before they expired?
