New Zealand Places Biggest City On Lockdown After Four COVID-19 Cases Confirmed | NBC News NOW

NZ have four new cases: Shutdown city.

US passed 5 millions cases: Let's party or protest.

The countries with millions of infected dont get to give advice to the country with only dozens.

[tomsimmons]

Lockdown for 4 cases. The U.S. would riot over that.

This government cares about it's citizens. Not like here in America.

Jacinda Arden - act like you have the virus.
Bad hair day Boris - I have the virus.
Trump - Slow the testing down.

How many Americans would love to move to another country (with their families) where the leaders actually care about the wellbeing of their citizens (until the madman IQ45 is no longer a threat to our safety and wellbeing)? Make sure you do everything possible to vote him out in November!

Life saving decision’ great respect to your decision making.

USA: over 5 Million infected
New Zealand: going on Lock Down again
China: *surprised pikachu face*

This is how countries are able to not only achieve but maintain the containment of occasional new covid flareups (which are anticipated). Immediate reaction to the area where there's exposure minimizes impact by stopping the transmission asap there, while enabling the rest of the country to continue without disruption. This is only possible when there is an effective, established test-trace-isolate-treat capability and public buy-in and appreciation to why, in the case of a highly infectious disease, it's vital to all collectively work together to stop the viral transmission from EVERY case.

Contact tracers are going to be working overtime on this one.

If PCR tests are being used for testing, and the chemistry Nobel prize winner who created them has stated that they shouldn't and can't be used to determine illness/diagnose, then why do all these new "cases" matter? 🧐

[Bebedollie]

Godbless U New Zealand. God is on His throne. 👑❤

[listonheinz]

Shutting down the country over four cases ... Overkill, anybody?

[tyree]

Yes it's frustrating, but as kiwis, we ALL see why this is necessary and see the long term benefits of this second lockdown.

[lightyagami]

Love being a kiwi in new Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Matter of internal security the age old cry of the oppressors

[rastrmantheseer]

Transmission of CV-19 occurs mostly through news broadcasting. The virus settles in between the ears and affects critical thinking. Symptoms may include irrational fears, hyper-vigilant cleansing, distrust of friends and neighbors, and an overwhelming urge to give up basic human rights for the perception of safety. Individuals with larger vacuums between the ears are at higher risk.

This is nothing compared to Victoria Australia

[iamthebeatmaster]

4 new cases and a shut down, you people need to vote her out! the test can also make regular flu test positive and that's probably the case.

Most people agree, the early bird always catches the worm .
