New Zealand on lockdown after confirmed positives, zero positives for 102 days, zero travel into the country

If we were an island of 5 million people, we could have handled this better. Thanks George Washington. Really fucked that one up, didn't you?

The retarded left. Their whole line of reasoning is so fraught with inconsistencies and goal-post-moving they can't even keep up with their own arguments, and often spin themselves into circles so bad they prove themselves wrong.

Have heard several here and on social media claiming "if Trump had taken this seriously, we would be having college football. This whole thing would disappear in a couple months. We'd all be living our lives like normal again." Then you get an island nation that took it deadly serious, went down to zero cases for 100+ days, started re-opening, and then they start to get cases again. And they point to a rugby match - "SEE! They stopped social distancing!" Yeah no shit. What happened to it completely disappearing if it was just paid its due respect? Guess that was all made up huh?

That's the problem with the lockdown fags. There is no stated end. We all know that the finish line will just keep moving back - we already saw it when you kicked and screamed like toddlers when normal people wanted to re-open after we had already successfully flattened the curve pursuant to the original stated objective. We could do a strict lockdown for 2 months, go down to zero cases, and then the second we re-opened we would start getting new cases again. Unless we shut down our borders forever, which would be xenophobic. Then these fags would be screaming from the highest mountaintop that we "opened recklessly" and needed to shut back down.

The curve has been flattened. The hospital system is fine, save 2 border towns in south texas that CNN would have you believe were somehow representative of our entire country. Now STFU and let the virus do what viruses do. Protect your elderly and vulnerable. The end.

The US could have handled it better if they hadn't screwed it up so badly, made so many stupid statements & boneheaded mistakes like a bunch of brain dead zombies.

Take some lessons from NZ, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, South Korea, Canada, etc, etc, etc.

This article says they didn't "start...re-opening" as you allege, but they had rather already returned to "normal" life "free from restrictions" & that since early June, about 2 months ago:

"A swift, early lockdown appeared to have quashed the spread of Covid-19 and made New Zealand the envy of the world as daily life returned to normal, free from restrictions."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-records-first-new-covid-19-cases-in-102-days

So it isn't just one single "rugby match", as you allege, that can be pointed to.

How a mere 4 cases all involving one family occurred after 100 days without any is being called a mystery. But since you act like you have all the answers to everything, why don't you explain where these 4 cases came from.

Will we see New Zealand back to another several months (or years, perhaps) of "normal" life "free from restrictions" after it's mere "3 day lockdown"?

Can the USA say the same?

Seems US has anal fucked you at some point

Lol. U just said Hong Kong was on wave 3.

See why that is thought to have happened here:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53596299

However, overall, in the big picture:

Hong Kong under 7.5 million population, in China, less than a mere 600 miles from Wuhan, 59 dead, under 8 dead per million.

USA about 330 million population, almost 12,000 miles from Wuhan & separated by an ocean from it, over 160,000 dead, about 485 deaths per million.

HKG = big winner.

USA = huge loser.

 

[StevieRay]

USA is MAGA and winning.

Wake up. Stop being a loser troll

think anyone really clicks on any links u post ?

Not at all. Skip over ur pathetic comments

Come for the beat down comments

Stay in Canada puss.

know one gives a fuck about u

covid karma would be to kind

[h=1]"COVID-19 curves: Compare Canada and other key nations"[/h]"TORONTO -- Around the world, new COVID-19 infections and deaths continue to mount. From Canada to South Korea, every country has responded differently -- in some cases, quite significantly, resulting in vastly different outcomes.

Suggesting other countries in the world could ban all foreign travel like New Zealand has done is beyond stupid

Why? can anyone find New Zealand on this map? X-Hole evidently can't, or maybe he doesn't know what all that blue matter surrounding New Zealand is (hint, it ain't Mexico or Canada, and New Zealand ain't the melting pot of the world either)

The case curves of the USA & India not looking good here:

OTOH the curves of other countries listed are completely different & looking excellent. Including New Zealand, Germany, Canada, South Korea, Italy.

How the USA screwed up so horribly:

Testing in the United States was severely hampered in the first several weeks according to medical journal articles and numerous media reports. Screening was “rationed” because only CDC – not public health or hospital labs – could run the tests initially, with a strict criteria for testing only those with known exposure. State labs also ran into verification problems with the CDC test kits, with results coming back “inconclusive or invalid due to failure of the negative control”. Under pressure by state labs to expand testing capacity, the FDA finally allowed them to develop and use their own tests by the end of February. But even when the testing criteria was loosened and testing capacity ramped up, the demand far exceeded availability.
Compounding the regulatory and technical problems with testing was the varying political response from all levels of government, with cities and states and the White House reacting with skepticism to urgency to conflict over the situation, despite warnings. Even prior to the outbreak in China, government reports and pandemic prep exercises as late as last year were not taken seriously. The world’s richest country “squandered” an entire month, a New York Times investigation said.
New York became the centre of the U.S. outbreak by late March, with more confirmed cases than any other country outside the U.S., according to one media report. Hospitals, health care workers, and the 911 emergency response system were all reportedly overwhelmed, with one doctor describing the situation at his hospital as “apocalyptic”.
By mid-April, all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. were under a disaster declaration as the number of COVID-related deaths in the U.S. crossed the 20,000 mark and surpassed Italy, becoming the highest in the world. Many parts of the country issued stay-at-home orders, cancelled mass-gatherings like sporting and music events, and closed schools.
While the total number of cases still surged from about half a million to two million over the following two months and deaths soared past 100,000, the restrictions helped cap the rise in daily new infections and deaths during that period, with the curve marginally sloping downward.
But as states began reopening, that modest dip in new infections made a dramatic upward reversal that eclipsed what unfolded between March and April. The explosion of cases nearly doubled in just over a month, hitting Arizona, Florida and Texas the hardest. Meanwhile, leadership at all levels of government continued to be unco-ordinated, with mayors clashing with state governors over measures including wearing face masks, and reopenings of businesses and schools. Testing remained contentious. As other countries gird for the possibility of a “second wave,” experts including Dr. Anthony Fauci, said the U.S. never emerged from the first.

Attention citizens! Your Dept. Of Pandemia announces the thing is back in New Zealand. Do not be alarmed. To protect citizens, we will deploy a small nuclear weapon, 50Kt max, to disinfect Auckland. Residents should stay inside until deployment is complete. Attention citizens!
