New Zealand has confirmed seven new coronavirus cases, while authorities are investigating whether the mysterious Auckland outbreak is linked to a cold storage facility in Melbourne.

So another non-story with a misleading headline....accurate in a literal sense but utterly misleading....yep, that’s about the standard these days

Hilarious. Anyone dead yet! They still have had more flu deaths from last year.

This constant fear mongering by reporting 'cases' which clearly doesn't correspond with an increase in deaths or hospitalizations. This short video explains the 'CASEDEMIC' and how the same pattern driven by PCR testing happened with H1N1 in 2009/10.

Fuck em! Up the VICS - ye ha!

NZ were transperancy is cherished. But how did Queensland have a zero growth cluster when 2 people COVID19Aus positive were travelling round Brisbane for over a week

Bullshit - try the other one ........ is it election time

PS - it’s Peter Costello’s fault the Age is a shit publication

It’s linked to Morrison. Federal sdo do borders

Melbourne link? Really? It’s the Wuhan China link you knuckleheads.

LOL

Wish we had their Prime minister

You couldn’t make this shit up. You’re taking us all for absolute fools.

Dan - derailing Australia wasn't enough... (before anyone is triggered, I'm joking ;))

A lot of blame games going on about this virus. Anyone would be forgiven for thinking its not highly contagious or something.

‘authorities’ love it!

I think if I look harder u will find it is linked to batty China!

DictatorDan spreading his evil influence across the TASMAN

Next Melbourne will be accused of the JFK murder . Maybe you’re over the top carry on Jacinta is the reason .

This is a bit misleading, as it’s currently a fairly tenuous link. The Chief Executive of the company even stated that no freight had even been shipped to the Auckland facility in question. I think it’s irresponsible to make assertions such as these so early in the investigation

Absolute garbage

Sure, it has to be somehow linked to Dan Andrews! And, while we are at it, I am sure it must be Dan’s fault that my magpies are copping a creaming right now!

Come on twitter ppl. We were all reading the breaches in nz quarantine from the infected travellers weeks ago. And the breaking of it.

Yawn. Get on with living.

DanielAndrewsMP at it again!

Genomic testing confirms origin is security guard’s ball bag

I already guessed it was Aussies.

I knew it! dansfault

Anything to keep the blame away from Cindy

New Zealand confirms seven new coronavirus casesNew Zealand has confirmed seven new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, the country's health chief says. New Zealand’s solution is perpetual lockdown and have fingers crossed a vaccine is found. By that time their economy is destroyed and they can’t afford to pay the doctors/nurses and hospital equipment. That is a very flat curve. What’s w/ all these new case announcements? Trying to sell fear again?
