Sadly the workers at the MIQ facilities have to deal with lots of idiots like this https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-...3E33NNTS26WVM/
On the 2 occasions I have had to stay at MIQ, I have found the staff professional and good to deal with. It is not an enviable job.

They already knew where he was at the time of the briefing. And police were already at the home of the delta covid positive escapee.
What you have with the 1 pm briefing is a propaganda session - Cindy letting you know what she wants you to know, not what we the public, need to know.

Big big mistake by Cindy to pursue elimination strategy (does not work) and putting the vaccination rollout on the slow burner, think NZ has all the time in the world to slowly get vaccinated.
Lockdown until Christmas is a high probability if the current lockdown does not work.
Christmas because that’s how it will take to get to 85%+ vaccination rate (if at all) in NZ.

We should have followed Australia eh?
Longest lockdowns ever.
107 deaths now in Sydney from the latest issues - that would be us.
Do you really think we will be in lockdown until Christmas? At the current setting Auckland has probably another 3 weeks at L4 then 2 at L3.

Maybe it does work. It's worth a try - given the worst of trhe possible.

Read the article and my wording carefully - 'pursue elimination strategy (does not work) and putting the vaccination rollout on the slow burner' - that's the big big mistake.
Australia has admitted it got it wrong with its elimination strategy and Plan B was rapidly put in place - accelerated vaccination rollout.
Do you know that NSW (seat of latest outbreak) is 1 day from 70% vaccination rate & only 10 days away from 80% vaccination rate?
They don't muck around but call in favors from their suppliers and other countries - Singapore & Poland for example to get access to vaccine via swap.

Rapidly put in place - plan B has only been put into place now.
'Slow burner' is largely irrelevant. We have an elimination strategy that is working and will continue to have it until we are suitably vaccinated by the end of the year.
Our rate of vaccination is not greater than Australia but that isn't much of a measure.
1 day from 70% 1st shot maybe - that isn't vaccinated (only 37% fully vaccinated). Also, the rest of the country has been left out - now VIC wants in on the same action (overall they are about 48% single dose).
They needed access to more Pfizer because people didn't want Astra and it was only approved for older people - they really screwed up their ordering (and CSL is only making about 25% of the Astra they were supposed to - over promise and under deliver).
You still think we should be following them.
We have been fortunate with our strategy to have fewer restrictions than most places

Write all you want, dobby41 - fact is that Cindy & her incompetents screwed up by negotiating NZ from ‘front of the queue to last in the queue.’
A progressive government would have us vaccinated to 80%+ by now while we were Covid-free.
