New Zealand wasn't creating a new nanny state, it was saving lives. — via healthing_ca

The New Zealand government quickly brought in health and science experts and had to make tough decisions. No one knew much about COVID-19 yet, but stopping the spread bought the experts time to learn about it and come up with a plan.

The only retailers open in the country were supermarkets, pharmacies and gas stations. You could only leave your home for “essential movement,” which meant exercise, being an essential worker or shopping for essentials at one of those few places open. You weren’t able to go outside a five-kilometre radius from your place of residence, with police checkpoints in place between regions, and you had to keep a two-metre distance from anyone who wasn’t in your household.

healthing_ca An opinion piece written by someone with a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. It's on MSM as it contains 'acceptable opinions in the march towards Orwellian 1984 society' and helps to perpetuate the illusion of freedom from tyranny. Nice work

healthing_ca There is a difference between kindness & niceness NZ, Australia & our Maritime gov'ts were kind to their citizens. Ontario was nice...with faux lockdowns that dragged on forever, allowing the spread of Covid, crushing our mental health & wrecking small businesses

A glimpse of normalcy: A New Zealand band plays to 50,000 fansWhile much of the world remains hunkered down, the band Six60 has been playing to huge crowds in New Zealand, where social distancing isn't required after the nation stamped out the coronavirus. The band's tour finale on Saturday night was billed as the largest concert in the world since the pandemic began. They don't have a grain of common sense! Doing this during a worldwide pandemic is not normalcy, but pure stupidity. Just wait cases after that will pop up This could have been Canada. But Trudeau decided to let Covid19/Variants into Canada and many Premiers decided that we can all “live” with a novel pathogen with which we have no natural immunity/no treatments.

New Zealand leader Ardern takes tougher stance on ChinaNew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern took a tougher stance on China's human rights record Monday by saying it was getting harder to reconcile differences as China's role in the world grows. There must be a reason for it. She only knows that by now, while withdrawing from statements and actions on Hong Kong? Not sure if she’s really learnt the lesson. Belt and road initiative. Australia has pulled out, now they are facing major backlash from the Chinese Government. Fun fact, the CCP put countries who have Huawei or an agreement in the belt and road initiative, first to receive donations.... then, donations turned to loans.
