"To be sure, aggressive and thorough contact-tracing and case follow-up have successfully contained outbreaks in countries like Germany without a centralized quarantine strategy. But these places relied on an army of efficient workers hunting down every chain of transmission, a resource not many governments have had time to build up."
While we give 900 million to a private student foundation...no resource my ass.
If hot war with China is coming, expect Canada to construct similar "COVID" camps.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the government auctioning off their houses and cars. It'll be great for the deficit and I don't know about any of you, but I could use an AMG in my life.
The Germans never saw it coming, the Ukrainians never saw it coming, and neither did the Japanese.
The apology and reparations is our grandchildren's problem. Let's get concentrating and looting!
I really don't buy the "the government is using this pandemic as a pretense to install a police state" conspiracy theory. Jacinda Ardern would have to be flat-out retarded to deliberately destroy the economy and the lives of so many Kiwis for the mere sake of pulling a Karen power trip. It really comes down to humans allowing the fear of their mortality and/or the mortality of their vulnerable loved ones to make them behave in irrational ways.
There are lots of NPCs who are literally begging for the government's boot down their neck because they are terrified of either they themselves getting the virus or a loved one of theirs getting the virus and getting fucked up. And Labour is giving them what they want. Fear makes people do really stupid shit. This is what the voters are asking for. Jacinda Ardern's approval rating is actually very high and you can see Kiwis on Reddit eating out her asshole right now.
If you think the government would sabotage the economy on purpose for shits and giggles, then it is you who is the retard. People like you who peddle conspiracy theories online make lockdown skeptics look bad.
You can go on a power trip without sabotaging your economy. lol. Why on earth would you kneecap enterprise in your country and devalue your currency even further for a "power trip"? She's doing it because this is what Kiwis are asking for. She has a high approval rating and Labour is projected to win another majority. Kiwis are fucking retarded. They think that you can just keep printing money for the people who go on unemployment during this lockdown and that this isn't going to come with any consequences. The more money you print and with less stuff being available for purchase due to lockdowns, the result is higher prices for goods and services.
There is nothing complex about a politician's motivations. They are going to do whatever it takes to get re-elected. Which is why Ontario Premier Doug Ford is governing almost like a Liberal with the pandemic. Because the Greater Toronto Area is very Liberal and Ford knows that a laissez faire/light touch approach to the pandemic would lead to him getting blown out of Toronto in 2022. Right now Ford is projected to win a majority in Ontario because the suburban swing voters who voted for Kathleen Wynne in 2014 and him in 2018 are happy with his heavy-handed approach to the pandemic. Low-trust societies like Toronto tend to favor government intervention and snitch lines. New Zealand and Australia have heavy regulations because these societies are low trust as fuck.
You conspitards are what is wrong with modern conservatism. Thank God Doug Ford is our premier. Even if I find that he capitulated too much on the pandemic response, he is practical and is able to get things done while you Reformers keep pissing at the wind pissed off that seat-heavy Greater Toronto and Montreal won't vote for you because the country is different east of Manitoba. While Doug Ford knows what it takes to win in the GTA because he's a pragmatist.
Your long posts betray your lack of understanding of the situations. you’re flailing about trying to form an argument, but you lack comprehension of history.
You are spouting conspiracy theory shit. People like you are the reason why we have lockdowns. Because every lockdown skeptic looks insane when they think that we're all QAnon crazies. So in effect the suburban swing voters tune out when we try to explain to them why the lockdown is harmful.
But yeah, I'm sure that bus you rode to school was smaller than the rest because there were fewer kids from your area. Just fasten your helmet and keep your stick on the ice.
You are a conspiracy theory nutjob. People like you make conservatives look insane. Thank God Doug Ford is running Ontario and not unhinged QAnon lunatics like you.
I hope you have a gun. A big one. Fuck Trudeau and FUCK the unjust laws.

Last year they took the NZ guns this year they are fucking rounding up families to go into fucking concentration camps.
They want our guns here now.
My family is not going to a FUCKING CAMP.
Thanks for the enlightening opinion, fucko.
Anymore words of wisdom?
People like you are the problem with this world.
Seems to me this could have been handled without herding people in camps and treating them like livestock.

Ardern is a legit communist so who knows.
I am so tired of pandering to cunts who can't accept their own mortality.
