BREAKING: Auckland Level 3 Covid lockdown for 3 days from midnight tonight

The Prime Minister has announced that in light of the 3 community cases of Covid, Auckland is to move into level 3 immediately at midnight tonight for 3 days and the rest of the country will go into level 2.

This is the reality of the pandemic and we simply have to suck this up and hope that the thing hasn’t spread further.

We will know the type of strain by tonight to see if it is the more contagious UK or SA strain.

Kia kaha NZ – we can do this.

    • With family in Melbourne I know first hand if they let this one out of the bag it will be more than a temporary shut down. 2 grew to 4000 in next to no time . I am no lover of this government but to date they have done well even if some was luck rather than judgement .

      • Trevor Sennitt: “With family in Melbourne….”

        I have family in Queensland; one member has relatively recently hopped over the border into northern NSW. How is Queensland managing to have so very many fewer cases (and bugger-all deaths) than, for instance, NZ – and possibly other parts of Australia – without having the swingeing lockdowns we’ve had here, or that have been imposed elsewhere in Australia?

        “….even if some was luck rather than judgement.”

        Mostly luck, along with some questionable judgement, by the looks, when one considers Queensland. Where the authorities have either had incredible luck, or demonstrated excellent judgement. Or a bit of both.

    • At least the sheeple are alive & all likely to stay that way, 3 days of some disruption is not a major inconvenience to prevent a possible major outbreak.

    • Surely, Dr Bloomfield should have a tie on? How can one trust his expertise otherwise. Perhaps a whitecoat and stethoscope also. The surreal continues.

  1. Yes we can do this Bomber. Don’t you just love the way Jacinda looooooves that Covid Theaterette. Her happy place. Like a pig in shit.

    • The bears in windows provided pleasure for children out exercising with their valiant parents during lockdown – their little faces lit up in pure delight whenever they spotted them – like amateur story book sleuths. Big thanks to the kind placers of the bears.

      One boondocks N Z commentator whinged about them in an Ausssie outlet, but they were great fun for some.

  2. We have been a lot more fortunate than some and dodged some bullets too, but…

    We have not turned the tap down on importing this virus despite far more virulent strains of it out there now and despite warnings to do so.

    Despite the increasing risk, Auckland remains the gateway to immigration.

    And for the third time in less than a year Auckland, the powerhouse of NZ, practically shuts down because not surprisingly, it’s got out.

    And still our government has insisted its easier to keep it that way.

    Who else thinks using Auckland as THE foremost quarantine base or even a quarantine base at all is a good idea?

  3. ‘Ha ha ha. 3 people sick in NZ. Shut the biggest city down for 3 days.What a pack of fucking moronic sheeple.’
    So – what do you suggest the sheeple do Pedro?
    Storm Parliament and demand that we allow ourselves to be infected?
    For Christ’s sake chill out hombre. This is not going to kill you.

    • Of course it won’t kill Pedro when she is tucked away living a country road lifestyle detached from what goes on in the lives of the real people out in the real world who she snipes at like some idiot comic book character.

  4. I’m wondering why the country wasn’t shut down for the previous community cases, with supposedly infected people visiting multiple locations. This must be the prelude to the big vaccination grand event. And how many people has Jacinda come into close contact with in the past six months? A thousand, ten thousand? She is the definition of a possible super spreader. The government’s position isn’t helped when representatives such as Chip Hipkins goes on Q+A and denies any knowledge of the Green Party members trip to Mexico and subsequent preferential treatment on return (Jack did his job by saying he had to be kidding. The panelists Laila and Ben then turbocharged the narrative that Covid is a peculiarly indigenous disease, where ‘kuia living isolated atop a mountain will need to be coaxed into 21st century civilised medical care’, and despite the fact that there are relatively few Maori living in white US and white UK let alone contributing to their world leading fatality statistics, these countries where already frail elderly are the only demographic dying, supposedly from last year’s disease). Roll these vaccines out quick smart Jacinda, so we can put this fear mongering, authoritarian, anti-science, smearing, religious daily theatre to bed and get on with our lives.

    It surely is a time, I think its using a sledgehammer to kill an ant, however, despite the fact I loathe being pushed around by govt agencies like the Police, the constant overload of covid propaganda treating us like children, I will comply.

    But it is on borrowed time, as it was 700 years ago with the patience of the population during the time of the Black Death. I would like to know,… the actual annual mortality rates of the common flu as compared to covid, – because I have seen so many contrived covid deaths that were actually tacked onto the statistics of the mortality rates of the chronically ill, the elderly, those with cancer, the young etc, – whereby it wasnt covid that killed them, – it was simply the ‘cherry’ on top of the pudding. How very convenient.

    I also question how convenient it certainly was for a UK and South African strain to ‘suddenly develop’ AS SOON AS A VACCINE WAS DEVELOPED….!!!

    Big Pharma getting rich , I hear you say? How long can this be played out to enrich the capitalist’s and give a good learning curve to govt control of their people,…

    Sorry,… This puts me in a dark mood. Enjoy nonetheless.

    The fact is, … apart from covid,… MALARIA is the single biggest killer in our times. And because most of it occurs in AFRICA,… no one gives a shit. I watched a documentary recently about a well known fisherman who fished for rare and many times dangerous fish species, and there were two women , – one the daughter missing both arms, the other the mother, who attacked the crocodile attacking her daughter with a sickle, – and lost an arm. A simple fishing weir could have protected both women,- a measly $10 ,000,000 dedicated to installing them for the villagers.

    The next day I watched a gifted American and his wife create a $55,000.00 playhouse for his two daughters. Cool , eh? – yet that American guy could’ve thought ‘Fuck this, I’m gonna do something with my talents and help where helps really needed’. He didn’t. I’m no better.

    So just what is this covid?, is it REALLY as deadly as they say?… we do know that virulence and mortality are two different things. The common cold is virulent. But generally, is not mortal. Malaria is not so virulent , as it is spread by and large by mosquitoes as a vector,… but it is certainly mortal in many cases. How many ‘covid’ cases are tacked onto mortality rates for political expediency when the actual cause of mortality is in truth a chronic underlying illness in both the very young, the very old, and those venerable due to sickness?

    I would like to see the honest statistics apart from vested interests..

    • I haven’t had a chance to look at your links yet but all of your own words have summed it up perfectly….

  6. Can someone tell me why the supermarkets were told to stock up in January as they were told a lockdown was coming on the 15th February? This government is a bunch of liars. Why did they allow mass gatherings yesterday when Hipkins knew of the threat as early as Friday?

    • Comrade, you are mistaken in your insinuation that this is being manipulated. None of what you are saying leads to that conclusion.

      • Well , at the sake of being branded a right winger, please prove it. That may be a difficult thing to do so no probs if you cant. But its a valid proposition. Frankly, this govt has made great political mileage out of this covid carry on.

        And as you and others have outlined so many times, this is a do nothing govt.

        For example, the housing crisis could be alleviated overnight by changing the Reserve Bank Act, – and doing what Savages govt did,…essentially what Social Credit advocate, and demand the Reserve Bank print money, which the govt would take to finance a massive housing build. In effect, going into debt to itself. No foreign investors or bankers, no speculators, no interest rates … just the fear of losing political capital for those who give generously in donations ( like Bob Jones ) and the fear of raising the ire of the monied upper middle.

        Fuck both of them. They are the minority.

        We have people living on the streets , huge youth suicide rates , familys living in cars and vans. Fuck the monied upper middle class and what they want. They need to grow a heart and look outside their square.

        That said,… lets hear it.

        I think Mark Young has a point, – as do many others from the right wing crowd. They’ve got a right to say. Its a democracy. Crude and simplistic as it might seem,… why not answer the question with hard facts ?

        Don’t feel obliged , I’m not that harsh, … but I do believe in getting the facts out for all of us.

    • Mark – what references and proof can you provide for supermarkets being told in january to stockup having been told there was a lockdown coming on Feb 15?

      Can you provide the person or organisation that you have proof of providing that advice?

    • Oh ofc,… hunker down, drink the best and live off veges…and pray AFRICA gets the vaccine first. Millions of vulnerable people there, lets make sure they get looked after, then we can worry about the affluent west.

      Lots of veges here,- maybe we can send some tankerloads of to them. Fuck it , lets give em tankerloads and truck loads and vaccines and anything else they need. Lets show em that we care and fuck the capitalists.
