    The Valentine's Day cluster

    I'm surprised no one has started a thread on this, so here goes.

    I'm hearing that people in South Auckland are turning off the Covid tracer app. It's not hard to understand why when 1,882 shoppers at K-mart had to go into isolation for 14 days...

    The Covid tracer app stops the spread of the virus just as effectively as mandatory carrying of drivers licence stops unlicensed drivers from driving cars.

    It’s kinda pointless though really, Jacinda has just demonstrated how willing the govt is to plunge the country into draconian lockdowns again for a few cases...
    Now if EVERYONE in the current outbreak had scanned the SAME amount of people would be infected, the virus doesn’t care if your Bluetooth is on or not.
    The resulting lockdown would prob be worse as with two deg of separation in modern society it would prob show even more people at risk of infection spreading...

    But I guess we’ll all find that out soon enough when they decree it mandatory to scan everywhere

    That is so weird, the pandemic is not yet over and some people think that they are smart enough to turn off the tracer app.

    Definitely an issue with the thinking part.

    And tonight it is reported that the original covid family had /have a Boarder, who guess what? has not been tested and or hasn't come forward yet, our luck can't keep us from getting zapped country wide for much longer.

    For the benefit of the hard of thinking, and we do have some.

    Jesus will not protect you from Covid 19. I saw video clips of that happening in the States, "I can't catch the virus, I've been washed in Jesus' blood".
    I thought we were better than that, but apparently not. There will be lots of time to attend church after this is all over. Unless you keep going to clandestine church services during lockdown...

    You can't wait until you feel sick to get vaccinated, it doesn't work like that.

    Isolation means you stay at home. Strangely enough this means you don't go out with your mates, even for a game of cricket at the local park, or for a walk with a friend. Especially a friend who has just recently tested positive.

    After you've been tested you isolate. At home, not at the fucking gym.

    None of this is complicated. Although apparently it's too difficult for Aucklanders.

    The first symptoms of the UK variant seem to be muscle aches and pains. So if people isolate at that stage, then they won't spread the virus once the respiratory symptoms start?

    That's a wild guess, I really have no idea.

    Look, I don't want to appear draconian, but after 30 years in public health specialising in pandemic management with a focus on sub Saharan Africa and the transmission of Ebola through nasal cavity mucal expression I think I have enough knowledge on the matter to proffer my interim solution.

    Anyone from Auckland who shops at K-Mart and eats at KFC more than once a week should be shot. Close contacts such as family should also be shot. Close casual contacts should be marked as such on the forehead. Including that Tamaki fella currently super spreading around the lower south island in the name of lining his pocket further. Oh yes, and God.

    Scuttle the Cook Straight ferries in Wellington harbour and quarantine the north island.

    Job done.

    Almost entirely due to our geographic location, our population density and the relative health of our population.

    And today we learn that the boarder is a door to door salesman. It just gets better and better.

    It's not as bad it looks, read the story on Stuff.

    A drivers license was never intended to stop people driving. It proves you took a (driving) test and passed. The main use and purpose of a drivers license is for effective identification.

    The Covvid tracer app is for the effective identification of people in places where a Covid infected person was known to visit

    NZ has already achieved herd immunity? According to the governments and their tellybox comms, infected people have been oot and aboot without there being any new cases. Makes perfect sense
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
