Has something happened here in NZ?
I ask because I encountered some news about this country while doing my morning reading of US blogs and news sites.
Something about all of NZ going to “Red” – whatever the hell that means. The person writing the post was laughing about it, which I thought rather mean but then they’re living in Florida so understandable.
Anyway, my kids will fill me in on the news, which they get from their friends. Don’t know the details yet but since the criteria for what we’re about to enter has been ignored (health system under massive strain) then I figure all the prescribed restrictions also mean shit and we just live as if we’re in L4 Lockdown again?
I must admit that at times like this I’m very grateful for the lifestyle I’ve been leading for some years now, in that it makes very little difference to me. Oh well. Onward with Omicron.
Make sure you’re N95 mask is properly fitted at all times (especially when you’re outside), carry hand sanitiser at all times – and get your second booster shot asap.
Just a reminder of what all these health and safety precautions are saving us from, courtesy of the CDC in the USA.

I suspect it simply is that the Dictatorship has decided Omicron is having no effect on New Zealand at all so they must manufacture a “crisis”.
Having destroyed energy and tourism, with this they can destroy hospitality and do enough damage to New Zealand farming that their communist and racist mates can just wander in a hoover up the pieces.
New Zealand: What you voted for!

One has to wonder if we have a new Judge Holden. I’m sure the old JH would be embarrassed to be reminded of that post. A government that went to sleep at the wheel with the whole country now paying a high price for months of inaction and lost opportunities. And now NZL is at Red and ‘her’ plan … we’ll be making an announcement on when you can expect further announcements in due course.
Pathetic …. the school marm approach cuts no mustard.

Red light, 25 person orgies, hyperinflation.
Our Aztec altar is covered in the blood of the Kiwi innocent. Yet the politicians and their Karen’s call for more. Let it be.
