@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern You don't understand politics either huh? You should look up the definition of communism before you keep spouting ridiculous claims like that.
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern I've answered all of your questions actually, but you're obviously not listening, and don't understand basic epidemiology or economics.. I'm done with this conversation now. The best thing you can do for our county is to get your vaccine and encourage others to do the same.
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern Wow! Really?? You still don't understand that we're not opening up yet because our vaccination levels aren't high enough yet??
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern We DO have our vaccination record on the my health site. Cafe's and other businesses aren't open because we're reducing spread of covid, not because of a lack of proof of vaccinations.
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern Temporary hospitals are not good for anyone, yes they did, and yes everyone can show their vaccines on the my health website actually! I have mine right here!
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern You're obviously not an economist!! Try comparing to other countries for a start, and also realize that debt isn't the only factor in the economy!
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern & yes actually the elimination strategy has worked extremely well, which is why we've had such low cases and deaths. Now that we have vaccines it's time to move on because we can manage covid without overwhelming our healthcare system. Great work NZ keep it up!
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern You obviously don't understand our healthcare system, the decades of chronic underfunding from both main parties when in charge, and the work that has been done since the pandemic began.
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern If covid was left to spread many more people would miss medical treatments which is what is happening in most other counties in the world!
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern No, actually we chose to protect our health because it was the best thing for us AND the economy. Have you not been keeping up with how well our economy is doing, especially compared to other countries in the OECD? Obviously not..
@Phantomkiwi@nzherald & that's your decision, but just so you know children definitely do contract covid. 400 of the people who contracted COVID in our current outbreak were children under 10 & 7 of them had to be hospitalized.
@Sam___Issa@nzherald@jacindaardern & your wee guess at how much of total populations have died from covid is way off btw. For America its 0.2% so far. Silly.
