New Zealand enters nationwide lockdown over ONE Covid case

New Zealand has announced a snap lockdown after a man tested positive for Covid, the first case in six months.

The case was detected in Auckland, which will be in lockdown for a week, while the rest of the country will be in lockdown for three days.

Authorities say they are working on the assumption that the new case was the Delta variant.

Just around 20 percent of its population has been fully vaccinated.

Coromandel, a coastal town where the infected person had visited, will be in lockdown for seven days too.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the toughest “level 4” rules were required – closing schools, offices and all businesses with only essential services remaining operational.

I want to assure New Zealand that we have planned for this eventuality. Going hard and early has worked for us before,” she said.

The patient is a 58-year-old man, who is believed to have been infectious since last Thursday.

There are at least 23 potential sites of transmission.

There was reportedly a rush at supermarkets in Auckland, as locals anticipated a snap lockdown.

Officials said there was a need for strong response because of the fear of the Delta variant, and because there was no clear link between the new case and the border or quarantine facilities.

Data released by New Zealand’s Ministry of Health on Monday showed that all Covid-19 cases detected at the country’s border in recent weeks had been Delta.

We have seen what can happen elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it. We only get one chance,” Ms Ardern said in a televised national address, calling the Delta strain “a game changer“.

New Zealand has been successful in eliminating the virus from within its borders, although its international borders remain largely closed.

However, its vaccination programme has rolled out at a slow pace, with only around 20 percent of people fully vaccinated and 33 percent of people having received one dose, according to Our World in Data.

    The New Zealand government seems to be turning into a Fascist dictatorship.

      Very Socialist. Very incompetent. The prime minister’s new clothes are dissolving. Will only do interviews where soft questions. Biden without the dementia.

      There are now about 20 confirmed cases of community “delta” variant identified and approx. 100 places of infection risk in Auckland , New Zealand.

      If they nip it in the bud with this lockdown many kiwis will see their Prime Minister as Mother Teresa again.

      It could be worse. It could be a civil and military withdrawal from a land locked country warzone where you abandon your military airfield and allies like thieves in the night.
      Bagram was the attack, defense, and transport center for a strategic withdrawal and should have been from where the last aircraft left.
      For our American readers. Your servicemen and women did a great job but were betrayed by the CIC.

      In about 1842 the English lost close to 16,000 people withdrawing from Kabul. The silk road created a lot of tribal politics and some tax systems Westerners call corruption without understanding the culture.

      Socialists thrive on fear and depredation of their own people and society.
      The New Zealand government is capable of such incompetence. Why? There is a dearth of competence in the political opposition.

      I just watched Candice Owens interviewing Dr Stella Emmanuel.

      Good and evil Jerry.

        Hi MattH,

        Was waiting for your comment. Yes, good and evil. And the Bible does tell us that there will be an END to this Earth and human life as we know it. We (all humans) must be prepared for that time but we know that not all will be prepared as they are a problem. And, of course, I know I will not live forever even if this end does not come in My Lifetime.

        Thanks for your comments!!!

        Have a good day, Jerry

            What? Do we have to severe the head from the body of the serpent.
            That is what the Taliban have done historically. A little rough treating their girlies as dispatchable breeding stock though.

            Hey MattH…

            Did you know I have decapitation records in Quick Aikido? Very severe sort of results.

            The one week I decapitated like 80 people. Personally. In Quick Aikido.

            Cool huh? That was LONG before I reached 10th dan, master and going back to the orion belt. It’s pretty bad. I even had a god belt once. Then two one belts.

            Before I continue. I must tell you, I play Quake and Starcraft (they are not PC games, btw). Ironically though, I had a teammate named Matt (Paradox). What happened was that noone else could compete and had to use bots, because they gave up before we even started playing.

            Here are the IQ screenshots, btw:

            Oh, uhm…it was really quite funny. Those guys that gave me the 500 IQ there, in the second image. 2 Weeks later they were like “We need your help”.

            No jokes.

      Hard to have an “uncivil war” when the military have guns and the peasants have pitchforks, really. It might have worked in the the days of muzzle loaders, but not with automatic weapons. Even harder when the populace has mostly drank the koolaid and have accepted that a non-existent virus can have detectable variants when there is no test to distinguish a variant from the original imaginary one.

    One of the problems is not enough people tell those sort of things that they’re worthless cunts. I mean, sure, you can try and say “oh but that’s not a nice thing to say”…but they’re worthless cunts.

    These governments are caught in a trap. If they don’t lock down and numbers rise the MSM will assassinate them. Their own fault for ramping up the fear factor but it means we are now trapped forever.

      Trapped forever sounds about right to me. You can’t help thinking it was all by deliberate design to allow the far-Left to introduce their much-vaunted one-world government with Socialist/Communist/Fascist (delete as appropriate) dictatorships.

        New Xi land gets to vote for a government in two years. Plus most political parties have a process to have good ideas from the citizenry considered.

        The biggest handicap is the lack of impartial investigative journalism.

    I Agree with Richard. If you are in any sort of management position be it a corporation or government you are vulnerable if you do not go with the “if it saves one life” policy. And once the management “herd” starts moving a certain way, the rest follow figuring safety in numbers liability wise. Not that I agree with the philosophy. And yes there could be a bigger scheme behind it all. Thanks, John

      Ardern is a typical…thing (a lesser type, spiritually, genetically…if you know what I mean)…

      It shouldn’t be surprising that “she”‘s involved, associated with institutions that have say, trafficking, pedophile sort of histories and requires so much to cover that up.

      Ask her “dad” about that. Seriously.

          “#1. Mormon Image is Everything!

          One of the reasons that child sexual abuse is covered up so well in the LDS Community is because image is everything to the Mormons.

          While devout Mormons are taught to follow strict religious rules that include no alcohol, no hot drinks, no premarital sex, etc…, they also spend several hours at church every Sunday. Moreover, after being “endowed” in the church, Mormons have to wear special church sanctioned underwear (with masonic emblems) 24/7. On top of all this, church members are encouraged to “report thy neighbor” for not following Mormon doctrine.”

          I hope you understand why such a hollow worthless qlippothic thing would associate with the LDS (which will have to be destroyed, in its entirety).

    Hi Reasonable Man and other PSI Readers,

    I am a SCIENTIST and we believe in OBSERVED SCIENTIFIC LAWS until there is a common observation (reproducible experimental result) which refutes the SUMMARY that we understand that a SCIENTIFIC LAW is.

    Some SCIENTISTS have looked high and low for evidence there is LIFE anywhere in the UNIVERSE beside the planet EARTH and they have yet find any such evidence.

    So I trust the GOD of the HOLY BIBLE has triumphed over EVIL and the evidence is that there was there human man who was crucified by evil men, died, was placed in a tomb, but rose again and was seen by many witnesses. So I know I have done wrong things more serious than not proofreading well, but I trust this GOD of the HOLY BIBLE will take care of me as HE HAS PROMISED even though I am uncertain HE EXISTS just as I uncertain about the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of SCIENTIFIC LAWS.

    Evidence of the GOODNESS of this CREATOR GOD is he gave us humans the LIBERTY to do EVIL instead of making us HIS ROBOT!!!

    Have a good day, Jerry

    Hi Frank. Have you ever killed a man or woman and eaten them?

    I understand that having your freedom curtailed can manifest as attempted malevolent manipulation of your keepers. A bit of entertainment as well as scorekeeping.

    I can not wait for your attempt at Herb Rose. It could keep me chuckling all day. Pathetic but fun.

      “Hi Frank. Have you ever killed a man or woman and eaten them?”

      Well, no. I’ve even personally mimicked the death of others though. Eating them? Not so much. I leave that for the Earth. See, the earth can neutralize sickness a bit better or a bitter bet than I can.

      Though I have aided and abetted the murder of millions, billions, quite comfortable and I’ve destroyed countless worlds. Just the other day, when I bought a Pepsi, I was reminded of the innocent child inside.

    A part of the strategy behind the constructed pandemic the ruling class masterminded, is to have the western countries so much in debt they cannot pay it back. MSM is not telling the people the lockdowns are financed by loans from the bankcartels via their Wordbank and IMF.
    The total wold debt is now exeeding 300 000 billion dollars, and owned by the bankcartels, who are owned by eight families. by owning this bedt they own the world.

    How much will a national lockdown of the whole country of New Zealand cost? the cost must be added to the cost of the previous lockdowns the last one and a half year. And the economy for the workong class and lower middle class is smashed, many thousands of small businesses and mid size businesses are closed forever, and hundreds of thousands in NZ have lost their jobs.

    This make the tax renevue much lower, and the debt cannot be pays back, because the lockdowns continiue until the countries are hopelessy in debt. That is the goverments, or administrtations more rightly obligations to the ruling class of globalist bilionares they serve.

    When the loans cannot be paid back, the bankcartels will take goverment property as payment, the peoples property becomes the capitals property, the ruling class’ goal. And the G20 countries and NZ are in the same situation middle and south America, Africa, and much of Asia are in today, they are ruled by the WD and IMF.

    Then the bankcartels can refprm much of the the worlds economy as they want, and implement a digital centralbank currency, and democracy as we know it is over. It means total control over the individual in the new World Order, your measured and graded income will tick into your microchip implant, as long as you are “relevant” and profitable for the ruling class.

    The mRNA-injection called vaccine will exterminate the elderly, sickly, and out of the productive life, poor in rich countries and poor countries, they have no place in NWO, because the capital will not have any expence on for instance a public healthcare. Life for the slaveclass in the New World Order is only for the those who are profitable for the ruling class.
