New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a week-long lockdown of Auckland, the largest city over a new local transmission case of COVID-19.The rest of New Zealand will be put into Level 2 restrictions that limit public gatherings, among others, she told a news conference.
jacindaardern disproportionate. Unwarranted. Just lunacy. Wake up sheep of NZ and see that her policies are untenable illogical cruel and over the top. This is how she plans to govern in 2021, with irrational overzealous lockdowns than destroy lives
I thought more of jacinda
Lockdowns? You mean communism lite?
A week's lockdown for 1 case ? Fucking madness !!!!
🙄 crazy
Was the person even ill? If not, this is not a case, this is a positive on a PCR test. Two very different things
7 day lockdown for one case totally madness unless this is the New World Order? jkalbrechtsen AnnieFuller09 Adam_Creighton nzpol auspol AP nytimes washingtonpost danielsutton10
You people are insane. Complete madness.
The NZ PM said of the man who went to the gym straight after visiting the GP for his COVID-19 test on Friday, “it’s frustrating, of course it is.” Honestly how can some people be so dense
An over reaction and a panic decision that will only severe financial hardship on businesses who are trying to survive and proving that a leadership hasn't learned anything and going for the easiest of decisions
Lock down a whole city for 1 positive, how dumb
ONE CASE You lunatic PM
Margaret Qualley went super fascist
It might only be one case now but without lockdown the damn thing spreads and it becomes many more than one case, don’t you knuckleheads understand that?
Do NZ have no tracing systems at all? Wonderful planning ....
just ignore the inevitable suicide spike because of this. but at least we just 'detected a case'. covid is not the only danger out there. we need to move one and learn to live normally with this virus.
Another ridiculous overreaction.
You go girl!
Whereas we are about to start coming out of lockdown when yesterday there were 10,000 new confirmed COVID-19 cases in England; the NHS is being privatised; and HS2 is bulldozing swathes of the English countryside. NZ JacindaArdern UK BorisJohnson
Started off as the hero of the far left and turned into an incompetent knee jerker.
This is good leadership apparently 😂😹
Moronic
You can hide from the sun too, but it always comes back the following day!
Complete overkill. PM Jacinda Ardern should adress the NZ housing crisis instead of diverting people's attention with a Draconian lockdown.
LeaRNIng To LIvE With iT
That elimination strategy is really working out for them.
'A' new case. Absolutely nuts...chicken littles.
Poor thing. Way out of her depth.
But but your GB queen said New Zealand needs to cooperate with her and open the bubble she the GB really needs to be quiet
labourloveslockdown
Lockdown is old fashion by now
Wow, so many scientific minds at work here.
Goodbye
Seems an extreme reaction to one case - she loves a lockdown
Makes Dan look like the epitome of restraint.
NannySaysNah Proud to live in a country where human life is paramount.
As it should be, if these cases keep popping up even with travel restrictions, we never really elimnate the problem at hand... IT IS coming from somewhere
A population density of 3 people per hectare and NZ still can’t do effective contact tracing without locking down an entire city over 1 person.....how is this good government?
God and we will have to read about what a good leader she is now what a joke
Do they have any jobs left to shed in NZ? Or is everyone there on welfare now? 🤔 government objective accomplished ! 🤦♂️
What the actual fuck....
Rediculous yet again..
One trick ponies. Brace yourselves Victoria...won’t be long til Dickhead Dan tries to lock everyone up again.
Again! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
jacindaardern.....UNSUSTAINABLE MADNESS & political suicide. Oh Well.🙄. Victoria will send Daniel Andrews for a cuddle under the doona.
What a dumb thing to do lock down for a week for a Single case. Just shows she has no confidence in her health team and public. Are nz people so dumb and senseless?
One case of Covid and an entire city goes into lockdown. And then the politicians get up on TV and do as if this is the next instalment of WW2. Plain nuts that, a year on, these wildly disproportionate measures still pass for acceptable responses
Decisions like these will prove that the government cannot think of anything other than lockdown and gives up when the situation turns like in US, UK, Europe, it's been one year and still Australia and New Zealand haven't learned anything.
Are they testing all returned travellers to see if they are carriers of covid but have no symptoms? Are we doing this here? This is one of the ways we can test to see the extent of the vaccinated spreading covid after later contracting it
Remember when they all criticised Gladys and NSW’s handling of Covid clusters? Remember how NZ was so fantastic? Who’s laughing now level3 NZ?
I thought NZ were the beacon of the Covid world!
Not a lockdown
Crazy 😜
Fucking mad. We have to learn to live with it
MorpheusBeing Bloody Andrews
1 case lol dickhead
She is a disgrace of a leader and has no idea what she is doing across a number of issues especially economic and Heath issues ... that said, elections have consequences
Still the greatest leader in the world? 🤣
SkipTd just totally ridiculous for 1 case!
Excemplary! 1 is infinately more than 0 This is mathematics
The fascist left dictator.
Get it right , It’s L3 restrictions not a L4 lockdown.
MADNESS
Honestly it’s mind blowing a decision like this has any support! Insane
One case, jesus talk about overreaction
ONE case & lockdown? wtf
Just Pathetic 🤣🤣🤣
Why on earth do you give a platform to a mafia connected corrupt ex politician? MafiaVanstone Publishing her rape apologist opinions. It’s disgusting.
back into tyranny mode.
Another ridiculous overaction.
New Zealand is literally overkilling it.
