New Zealand ignores Leongsam ramblings and closes border to stop spread of covid19

[Leepotism]

WELLINGTON: New Zealand will close its borders to all foreigners from midnight on Thursday (Mar 19), as it steps up efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus in the country.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told a press conference that citizens and permanent residents can still return, but their options are running out as many commercial airlines are cancelling flights.




"I'm not willing to tolerate risk at our borders," Ardern told a media conference.
"Today’s decision stops any tourist, or temporary visa holder such as students or temporary workers, from coming to and entering into New Zealand," the prime minister said.

If Leongsam were in charge he will implement herd immunity policy

Boris Johnson will invite him to 10 DS for a Corona party

Ignore Leongsam advice will save many lives.

Ignore Leongsam advice will save many lives.

The advice I give is not about saving lives. It is about the long term ramifications of not biting the bullet now and accepting the collateral damage. No society has ever moved forward without some sort of sacrifice.

We risk becoming a vulnerable and extremely delicate species if we try to isolate ourselves from pathogens.

History has shown that isolated communities are far more vulnerable to disease because of the lack of natural immunity.

You mean you all still accepting foreigners?

A couple of weeks ago NZ set up a system of "self isolation" for all those crossing the border foreigners included.

However because NZ is not a mass surveillance state in does not have the hardware or the resources to police the system and many tourists simply ignored the directive and went about their merry way pretty much giving NZ health authorities the middle finger.

This change in policy to bar all foreigners is an effort to cut down the number of arrivals in the hope that resources will then be sufficient to enforce the self isolation.

Singapore on the other hand is efficient and has laws and the resources to deal with all arrivals should they break their quarantine. This is because PAP is the best and knows that laws need to be enforced rigorously and often harshly in order to enforce compliance.

Singapore is very lucky to have the PAP in charge and it is the PAP that has set the gold standard in infection controls that have earned the admiration of the rest of the world.

Everything they do is for the country

That's why the government is laughing all the way.

If shots are available get yourself vaccinated.

If there is currently no vaccine then the let nature takes its course and don't worry about it.

Take HIV for example there is still no vaccine to prevent the infection so you take steps to choose what you think is a safe hole and pray that everything works out.

Roger that!

As for dealing with holes, I use two condoms (which is why I need them extra thin). One can never be too careful. And I wear an N95 mask plus visor too.
