Even if they’re going the route of “complete eradication by completely eliminating any transmission,” why not quarantine those 4 people and do extensive contact tracing?


See my first post.

Everyone is going to get it unless we have a real vaccine. They're pissing in the wind.

Its probably just a measure to make sure there aren't unkown cases that may emerge in the 3 days

Btw, locking down your nation because one family of four tested positive is to me tyrannical.

This. What was their strategy. To be completely isolated for the next several years. I don’t know what’s worse, their strategy or the fact they’ve been heralded as what we should have done. All they’ve done is kick the can down the road.

Its crazy how much they opened things up. I noticed it Saturday night when they played rugby in front of a full "stadium" (I think some high schools have bigger stadiums than them.) I've been watching Australian footy and they're playing in front of crowds about the size NFL teams are saying would be at capacity. They had a breakout in Victoria so all of the teams (coaches, players, and families) from the state had to be put in a bubble. Not this crap like MLB...they fined a coach for playing tennis with a pro who wasn't in the bubble and a team was fined 15k because one of the wives went out to a salon.

These people have no business running a country. They’re a danger to themselves, and their countrymen.

The hilarious part is if this is because of a false positive.

Due to the long incubation period, it’s a waste of time.

One sick person interacts with twelve people, who interact with twelve people, who interact with twelve people...

If someone’s pushing contact tracing, I wouldn’t take them seriously.

Contact tracing makes sense when you’re dealing with something like Ebola, or Aids. But not covid.

Funny how every time a positive covid story comes out within days there comes a media article trying to dispute it.

A few weeks ago it was children aren’t as susceptible to it then when talk of schools reopening heated up it was the opposite, how children are actually more susceptible.

The only female politician even more clueless than AOC.


She is EXTREMELY liberal. I am at a loss as to how she is in charge. Then again, Auckland pretty much controls all aspects of that country.

It is probably just giving them time to move forward with contact tracing without having everyone still mingling about.
