It will be spring there in a couple of weeks, you know, when people don't get sick so they can't blame the flu in COVID anymore.

This will all be repeated again and again, even worse than COVID, until people dispense with the cult of safety. This irrational fear, a true phobia, of risk is causing a society wide mental illness. People are so scared of risk that they are willing to actively destroy their own societies and even their own lives.

Everything has to be "safe", this leaves a life that is banal and boring with absolutely no chance for adventure or to discover anything new. Fuck that.

Sadly the damage has been done.

There was a news story on one of the msm TV stations last week about how this gov has spent $1.1 billion on emergency housing for the homeless ( actually unemployed) on hotel rooms and one paticuler city went from a top tourist destination to a ghetto in less than a year. Locals and the nation are furious with horse face for this and a number of other blunders. The covid restriction lifting is a diversion to distract us away from the waste of tax payer money and the fact the labor party are using our tax dollars as their personal piggy bank. She was under intense pressure to lift the restictions from a number of agencies and orgs as well. She is also low in the polls. Now she's running away to England to attend the Queen's funeral after announcing sep 26 as a one off public holiday. Trying to by favour by making us have a day off. I will actually lose money if I can't work that day as it's only paid for 8 hours and not the 10 I usually do.

What's a "COVID-19 traffic light system"?

This means they are loosening their grip on the population. They must have had blow back. Their first waves of recorded COVID-19 deaths started in February and they are still riding a wave right now. They could have the fake news give daily updates on the scary numbers of deaths to justify more mandates, but I don’t think people will take it.

“In short, we now move on to a simple two requirements system of masks in healthcare settings and seven days isolation for positive cases only,” Ardern said.

The big detail that was not mentioned: Are people required to get tested under any circumstances?

You don’t need to isolate for seven days if you don’t get tested. Will people be forced to get tested by the government or their employers?

It is done when the volcano has done the cleansing job

and not, I am not thinking about covid

Nothing will be over until people hang.

Fuck them, let them keep it
