Sure, no one likes a snitch but for God's sake, these selfish idiots are putting our whole way of life at risk for the sake of their own pleasure. It's unbelievable.
I personally wouldn't shed a tear if the NZDF turned up and started cuffing these people with zip ties before carting them away to holding facilities for forced testing. Desperate times often call for desperate measures and this callous disregard for the welfare of fellow Kiwi's is making my skin crawl.

Kendall Hutt Reporter from Eastern Courier

Hi neighbours. Pakuranga College principal Michael Williams was “furious” with the Ministry of Health for incorrectly claiming a coronavirus case had been linked to the school in the 1pm presser. Are you disappointed? Do you feel the ministry's apology at 3pm came too late?
