It has been a discussion. You have decided to join it by saying to an individual he shouldn't be posting in it. Rather hypocritical.
Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Well it’s just getting like the political threads now
There is not one single right answer that will satisfy everyone and people better placed than any of us will make what they think is the best decision for as many people as possible

We have been very (no real other word for it) lucky with covid so far. There is no real other way to put it.. as we limited much we could etc etc like everyone else but to date (touch wood) we haven't had it.. or anyone in our support network have it.. few scares where people get pinged and get a PCR .. but nothing yet
However this week my sister and her husband tested positive , fingers crossed she's alright as she was worried a lot before as asthmatic
Also this week on Wednesday I think it was the wife worked with someone who's since tested positive. 2 hours in same class so she been told to LFT every day for 7 days
Let's hope it stays at that. However bearing in mind we both work (me throughout and wife since she went back from maternity in sept) and eldest has been through pre school and nursery so far pretty much fine
Lucky is defo the word
Let's hope the covid dodging game stays first class ..

That is NOT what I said and you know it.
I SUGGESTED if you had nothing new to say you move on.
We all know what you think and merely repeating yourself isn't adding to the discussion.

Mum and her sister were both asthmatics. The aunt died within a couple of hours of getting Hong Kong Flu many years ago. Mum always tried to stay as calm as she could because 'worry' exacerbated her symptoms.

Maybe you should move on as you've got nothing to add. I've been commenting on the subject and replying to posts. You on the other hand...

Daughter and wife now both positive, first time either of us has caught it since the whole thing kicked off (that we know of) Daughter is virtually asymptomatic, mrs just has a heavy cold. I'm still showing negative at the moment but i'm guessing that won't be for long...

It was frustrating when me and Missis T caught it both times. We kept to the rules but still caught it. I had said to Missis T that we would catch it what with kids at school, back and forwards between parents and us. Daughter being a copper. Son a class one driver. Who brought it home both times. As crap as it was, it was what it was. Hope all ends up well..

Jacinda Ardern once more setting a fantastic example in leading her countries fight against COVID.

I can only assume that is a wind-up comment. She is an absolute joke.
I really do think locking down for a handful of cases is going to do more harm than good in the long term. The population are building up no natural immunity whatsoever.

Am not sure what there vaccination rates are. What I am impressed with is there resolution to stick to there route out of it. Whether one agrees with it or not Is a different matter all together.
Be genuinely interested to hear Ethan’s thoughts on the New Zealand thought process.

but again I would like to know why ?

Natural immunity means natural deaths and natural ICU cases unless it is built on top of a very comprehensive immunisation programme.
Ardern has seen only a handful of Covid deaths, and her economy has suffered less and bounced back faster than the UK. She shows that effective suppression of Covid was possible and that effective public health measures help the economy, not hinder it. In my opinion, she has done a stunning job. Wish we had had her over here.

Is it possible to compare the two countries though, given the huge differences in demographic? The entire population of NZ is just over half that of London alone

Totally agree but I think thee maybe a genuine difference in people mentality as well

It is clearly not a perfect comparison, but the real difference was not in geography or demography but in [redacted] philosophy and leadership. People here are happy to compare Sweden, so why not NZ. Australia has also done a much better job for similar reasons.
My curiosity stems, I suppose, from my assumption that, in the longer term, a combination of a good vaccination programme and immunity built up from community infection gives the best long term protection.
Disregarding how the U.K. and New Zealand have chosen to approach the management of the pandemic, from this point on which population is likely to have the best protection against Covid? I’m genuinely interested.
