How is the corona virus affecting you?

There is enough information out there that doesn't make the idea of "wait a bit until this gets sorted out" seem that outrageous.

I disagree. The fact is that Covid-19 is deadly and has killed several million people. The vaccine has not. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which way to go on this one.
 
I watched a rugby game last night, 36,000 and not a mask to be seen. Domestic flights back to 80% and ozzy back to 60%. Our small population makes us lucky, but we are 120th on the list of countries to get the jab, despite gubmint saying we will be at the top.

This is one of the things I don't get. Pfizer and AZ are happy to license their product. Your Universities and biotech companies must have world class facilities, you are a smart, rich country with a manageable population. Why isn't NZ vaccinating the whole of the South Pacific by now?

This gubmint is all talk, homeless has tripled since they came in. Giggle kiwi build 10,000 homes promised, 300 delivered, light rail cbd to airport promised, not a shovel of dirt dug. They have press conferences to say they will announce something in a few months time, their spin doctors have tripled, not one of them has worked for themselves, the Labour Party is nit the old Labour Party. They have been hi jacked by gay green and minority people, I'm ok with that but they really are clueless. Our pm has the most shocking speech, can't say poverty, says poverdy, her work experience is she worked in a fish n chip shop. Giggle her name and comrades speech. That sums her up.
I was a labour voter up to about 30 years ago, then they were hi jacked. Helen Clark never worked a day in her life, career politicians now. They just signed off on a 500,000 slide for outside parliament. Don't believe me, giggle it. Oh and they have a % of people with hearing impaired, and sign language as well. I have no problem for a person qualified to do the job, despite any disability.

I can't dispute a word of what you are saying. We have a right wing government here where a record of our PM calling our Health secretary F*****g hopeless over his handling of covid has been published, but he won't sack him because the health secretary has a record of the incompetance of the PM. Good isn't it.

There is a certain percent of Americans who won't get the vaccine for political reasons -- they don't like the current president, for one. I can't help but wonder if some of that is happening in NZ.

If the vaccine were available to you today, would you go get it?

I might come across as blasé but I'm pretty confident that I can wait til last, 1/4 of our front line staff havnt even been jabbed, I'm happy with az jab but I'm happy to wait for others. I will,get it though. It's good your country is getting " it done"
Our lot are so woke it's not funny. A student mob of protesters for climate change, have just broken up, because they said they are racists. Wtf? Under national who I vote for they were run by business people, sir John key starred us through the crash in early 90 s. They handed at their finish an $8 billion surplus to labour, they blew it in a few months. It's easy to throw away money, the homeless is a disgrace and one I'm embarrassed about.
Our foreign minister is a woman called nanaia mahuta who's married to her first cousin, who has criminal records for assault on women. Giggle her and tell me what you think, remember she's our foreign minister. Total embarrassment.

Well if her husband-cousin has a penchant for hitting women, I think she would give it right back to him, judging from the breadth of her shoulders.

And I am still trying to get over that chin tattoo.

Mod.comment: Its a traditional female Maori tattoo. This website has some background about is cultural significance: 'It's Transformative': Māori Women Talk About Their Sacred Chin Tattoos

For New Zealand Māori women, the moko kauae, or traditional female chin tattoo, is considered a physical manifestation of their true identity.
