We don't have community transmission. The issue is that people want to come into the Country so currently we have quarantine at the borders. But then that means we have people working in the border quarantine facilities who are at risk. The military and police and cleaners and hotel staff etc etc. Nurses doing their Covid testing. And then they take a turn for the worse, sometimes, and need to be medically treated. So then there is a risk in the hospital...
So the idea that it's only a matter of time, really, until we do get community transmission.
We have purchased enough vaccine to vaccinate more than everyone so...
We are still grappling with 'informed consent' and appropriate sanctions / penalties / exclusions for people who 'refuse'.
Maaori leaders, particularly, do not like the notion of informed consent. They believe it is their right as Maaori leaders to make decisions on behalf of their people. For the very very first time we are having a ligher level of leadership (coming from parliament) that Maori are people too with the same rights as everyone else... So the tribal leaders are looking more like the tribal middle-managers who are just as corrupt as that level of management when it comes to... I don't know... Lead poisoning communities of white people.
