Brodie Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 We came back from Oz not too long before the borders closed. The system in getting back in was extremely lax and hadn’t been terribly well thought out! People can think what they want about whether the current govt. has done a good job or not, it doesn’t change the fact that we have been locked up for a long time, financially disadvantaged due to heavy borrowing and will lose a lot more people due to suicides than what the Covid19 will ever kill in NZ! Those facts can not be denied!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had just got out of quarantine in Auckland after travelling back from England. Her and her family had been put up in a hotel with lots of others. NONE of them were tested for Covid-19 because they didn't have symptoms! We knew by then that a lot of cases are very mild and/or asymptomatic. Why the hell if you have these people locked in quarantine that have come from countries with large numbers of cases wouldn't you test them at the beginning of quarantine and a couple of days before you let them out? I asked the same bus driver that since she was a public bus driver did her employer pay for a flu vaccine. The answer was Nup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Something else I'd do after this mess is over is get rid of the Ministry of Health. There is $230m a year and a 1,000 staff that you can handover to the DHB's. Each ICU bed costs $5,500/day so there's another 114 ICU beds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
