I reposted this as for some reason i couldn't reply on the original post. I get that we are all inconvenienced in some way by the lvl 4 lockdown as unfortunately we are not all classed as essential workers and i want to say a big thank you for all of them ie Doctors and nurses, couriers, postal staff, supermarket staff, truckies and most importantly our emergency service workers who are currently still working out in the community and having to put themselves at risk everyday to keep the country functioning to ensure we still get our food and essential items and that everyone is kept healthy, and yet currently we have no idea as to how much longer it will go on for as our cases are still climbing and the government have said they doubt the numbers have even reached there peak yet. I am not surprised at all considering the high number of close contacts that have been at the locations of interest ie Schools Avondale college, De la salle college, Aut campus and University of Auckland to name a few there are thousands of students at all of these places so I'm surprised we have not already hit 1000 Tbh. And yes it's worrying that we are running low on the amount of Vaccines we have available and i agree that the elderly should of all been done by now considering the drastic consequences that happen if a case ever gets into a rest home as the residents that live there have nowhere to go that is safe to escape the possible spread of it. But i also agree our kids need to be vaccinated as well as they are the ones more prone to picking up a community infection it appears. Under level one all kids want to do is hang out with there mates and they don't often stop to think of the possible risk of transmission then they pick up the virus and bring it home to friends and family. That's why unfortunately it spreads through the pacific community as they are bigger families that are forced to live in smaller homes and close proximity to each other. But i also believe that Jacinda has done the right thing with putting us into lvl4 as soon as Delta was discovered in NZ. We fought covid last year after that lockdown so we can do it again so give Jacinda a chance they may be slow to get things done but they got results last time and can do it again they are trying to beat this and they can't do it alone. I highly doubt Judith and co could do any better. We all need to play our part and beat this as a nation no individual can do it on there own. So let's ride out this lockdown and check on your friends and family regularly and let's help each other as much as we physically can within our bubbles. We can do this NZ.
