They seem very loathe to relinquish any control they can gain over the population (e.g., by not easing lockdown restrictions - there have been no community cases in the South Island for a year but they are still in lockdown), and seek to stop us making our own decisions by making it compulsory to wear masks etc. <br />Government ministers (including our Prime Minister) feed us conflicting information, and refuse to tell us what The Plan is (apparently they do have one) for bringing us out of the pandemic. <br />We have strict lock-downs whenever a new case is found somewhere. I personally question the need for such stringency - many suffer from financial hardship because of lack of work etc. and our suicide rate is rising, so which is worse?). <br />The reason for lockdown and trying to eradicate the virus is given as "even one preventable death is one too many" - true, but nearly every car accident death is preventable and we don't ban cars!<br />Let's face it. Covid will never go away (no disease the world has ever had, is ever completely eradicated), and so we have to learn to live with it. And, yes, people will die of it - but to put that in context, over 30 people die every day in New Zealand from cancer (in a population of 5 million) and nobody says anything about it. <br />I also find it interesting to see that several countries are now releasing figures showing their death rates have remained the same, it is just that people have died of different causes. <br />And that is my rant finished for the day!! <br />Enjoy your week :) <br />🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼<br /> At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-4920469400584534242021-09-29T08:50:50.447+13:002021-09-29T08:50:50.447+13:00No permanent damage, thankfully, and everything is...No permanent damage, thankfully, and everything is almost dried out again now.At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-44868177702398606702021-09-29T08:49:57.746+13:002021-09-29T08:49:57.746+13:00I feel our winter just gone has been very mild, so...I feel our winter just gone has been very mild, so am almost dreading the arrival of summer and its hot weather.At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-68673496587951353752021-09-29T08:49:06.220+13:002021-09-29T08:49:06.220+13:00Mittens sends purrs back to friend Tigger 😻Mittens sends purrs back to friend Tigger 😻At Home In New Zealandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835971617944752730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-84827361370726108892021-09-29T06:15:17.711+13:002021-09-29T06:15:17.711+13:00What's going on, with China Covid Rules now, i...What's going on, with China Covid Rules now, in your country?<br /><br />Please and thank you.<br /><br />Here, some Health Care Workers, will not be mandated to get "The Jab," and everything ripples down from there (bad), in the Health Care industry.<br /><br />Because our stupid Gov. is paying people not to work, business can not get workers, needed to keep things running. <br /><br />Big truck companies, which bring EVERYTHING to us, are short of drivers.<br /><br />Costs are going up.<br /><br />Ahhhh, the joys of having a Gov., which is intent on bringing us, to Socialism.<br /><br />^(*#$%(&%^#%^*%#$&**%##$^**(()<br /><br />🍁🍁🍁 <br />Beside a babbling brook...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14230422491225783790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-12131226088790354102021-09-29T06:08:42.959+13:002021-09-29T06:08:42.959+13:00Beautiful Spring flowers!!!!!!
