Aucklanders are getting real testy about the lockdown, currently the longest we've had
The pressures really mounting on Jacinda

Yea, nurses were
striking over staff shortages long before Covid.
Some very, very short-sighted people seem to think that "it has a 99% survival rate" and think that 1% of people with Covid are just up and dying overnight without going through the healthcare system.
It's not the people who are dying that are the problem - that's one less person who needs the healthcare - it's the rest who are in hospital for weeks before becoming a part of that 1% (and, hopefully, do not become a part of that 1%) who are causing the stress on the system.
Also doesn't help that you've got the Destiny Church crazies out there making things difficult for us now. We've been watching the world go through protests and marches over this for the last 18 months, it hasn't worked anywhere else in the world as of yet, why do they think it's going to work here?
At some point we are going to have to 'learn to live with Covid', but we need to make sure that we're in the best position to do that first. Right now, this is not that, so until then shuddap and put on yer damn mask.
