Thread: Is there anyone out there who is still concerned about beating Covid19?

It would appear that some have not read my initial post or perhaps read the first three words and then assumed the rest. To confirm:

- I did not say I thought we could completely remove C19 from NZ
- I did not make a statement about whether I thought the economic cost was worth it. I suggested that given we are doing this like it or agree with it or not, perhaps we want to get the best from it that we can before we re open our doors. I am in no doubt that the pain will be felt by many for years to come. Myself included.
- I did not say I wholeheartedly endorse every decision made through this period by the government or the timing around some decisions. I talked about us working together and not making our own minds up to join in a spot of cat herding based on our own personal views
- I did wonder how many people were prepared to work together and take the high moral ground when it comes to missing out on a bit of hunting or whatever for a short period and worry less about what others were or weren't getting
- I did ask the question about how many people were looking for what they could do and not what they couldn't. Glass half full or glass half empty.

For me I think this whole event has also been a real reflection of overall human nature and people's attitudes to life and others. There is no doubt that the governments response and management of this crisis has been a massive exercise in social engineering.

I have no beef with anyone and respect your right to have a view. I have however been saddened by the personal abusive type rants I have read occasionally over the past three or so weeks. We are all on the same team here. Have a good ground hog day people
