At the end of the week, wastewater will give the very first sense of underlying case rates, so changes to underreporting, since masking and isolation rules were dropped. But I continue to think an awareness of how it is going for old people in care is important.
Oh well, I guess NZ can always look back fondly at those times when it did the right thing for the people, rather than the right thing for capitalism.
#nzlabour I have voted for you for many, many elections - even volunteering. We have been toying with switching to Greens (better tax and climate policies) but changing is hard for us. Your removing of Covid restrictions has decided for us. You no longer care. #NewGreenVoters
