The Daily Blog Open Mic – Tuesday – 3rd November 2020
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
As long as we are letting people into our country there will always be risks and the more that come the higher the risks. And even if we created a dedicated quarantine facility as Health professionals are calling for, due to the hotel worker recently catching the virus in Christchurch.
We now have a dedicated Minister (Hipkins) that can oversee what needs to be done as many have said the use of motels is not suitable. Motels have cleaners, cooks and other staff and they go home but so will a dedicated quarantine service need staff. Perhaps community transmission could be minimised as the staff could live at the facility therefore reducing community spread and only be permitted to leave when certain control measures have been put in place. These are some of the options we need to consider and we also need to think about large groups coming in, maybe its better for them to come in smaller more manageable numbers until we have a facility capable.
Andrew Smales’ evidence to the Waitangi tribunal saying Oranga Tamariki is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff fails to acknowledge those driving and directing that ambulance have been paid a huge amount of money to deliver. Do we need new drivers as a lot of money is being paid to executives who have failed and continue to fail is this still acceptable?
