GUEST BLOG: Bryan Bruce – When are we going to learn?
Evidence of complete vaccination or a Covid pre travel -test plus quarantine for 14 days should be a conditon of travelling to our country.
All new arrivals should be required to download the Covid tracing app.
Until our nation has reached herd immunity contract tracing apps and /or signing in to all public places should be compulsory.
This most recent mutation of the Covid 19 virus is very infectious and is spread through the air. Wearing a mask in places where you can’t keep a couple of metres away from other people in public is a really good idea.
I know we are all fed up with this Covid 19 thing but if we want to keep our nation healthy and our economy going we really have to stop being complacent about it.
And please – antivaxxers and conspiracy theorists do not post on my page .
Bryan Bruce is one of NZs most respected documentary makers and public intellectuals who has tirelessly exposed NZs neoliberal economic settings as the main cause for social issues.
Why should New Zealanders have to pay the price for the spread of Australian plaguebearers?
If Australians are- for some reason- to be allowed in, they shouldn’t have to download the app (and not use it). They should be tracked everywhere they go, and arrested if they fail to comply.
Okay we have made a mistake we should have closed our borders earlier lets hope for the bests and lets deal with this and move on.
Well said Bryan. I also believe that we need to be more forceful in requiring use of the app by everyone at all times. Businesses should take an active roll in this, they have a lot lose if the virus gets established here; we have all become far to complacent.
Agree, Peter. Yesterday my local Wgtn Countdown had a security person posted at the entrance again, ensuring that people were using the app or signing in. The moronic young guys who have been sauntering in ignoring all basic precautions, will have to behave.
