Despite no cases of COVID-19 in the entire South Island, it will stay in level 4 lockdown until Tuesday, partly in response to continued traces of COVID-19 in wastewater in Christchurch.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said people may ask why the whole country, especially the South Island, has to stay at level 4 until Wednesday.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Jesus fucken christ... it is just completing the 2-week incubation cycle of the virus, making sure it is not in the South Island. There have been cases that symptoms show up on the 12th day of quarantine. So people would rather have it go rampant ...

Isn’t it interesting how much lower the bar is for bureaucrats than the private sector? 

Even our sports teams get more scrutiny. Imagine if Ashley Bloomfield was an All Black coach.

You had ample warning to move sooner and quicker. The afghan's that helped the NZDF have been asking to get out since 2013... why does it always take till the last moment before we act and it is always too late.

China, in the midst of a rapid nuclear weapons buildup, will soon surpass Russia as the United States' top nuclear threat, a senior US military official said on Friday, warning that the two countries have no mechanisms to avert miscommunication.

US Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas Bussiere, the deputy commander of the US Strategic Command, which oversees the country's nuclear arsenal, said China's development of nuclear capabilities "can no longer be aligned" with its public claim that it wants to maintain a minimum nuclear deterrent.

Chinese migrants are struggling to access information about the community outbreak of Covid-19 because it’s not translated into a language they can understand.

Age Concern is calling for more Government communication and support for older migrants, especially those who don't speak English and are unfamiliar with the New Zealand system.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Here is the thing; and it is not just "Chinese elders" it is all groups... if you come to a country to live learn the language. New Zealand has 3 official languages, "English", "Te Reo Maori", and "NZ Sign Language"... learn any one of those. Learn and comprehend it. Don't just learn the spoken word but also the written word. I don't care where you are from. If you are a Kiwi going to live in Japan you learn how to read and speak Japanese. It is that simple.

We can not be expected to translate to every known language on the planet.

The woman, who Stuff has agreed not to name for her security, was outside Kabul’s Hamid Karzai Airport with her husband and one-year-old daughter on Thursday afternoon (early Friday, New Zealand time), hoping to reach New Zealand soldiers.
