Welp

The Ministry of Health called a press conference after enquiries from RNZ's Checkpoint about a positive Covid-19 case on Auckland's North Shore.

Two guesses where I live.

I mean if I had to pick a place to get the plague in nz I'd probably choose the north shore. Rip 2fing thankyou for your sacrifice

It's gonna suck, but its not societal collapse. I'm just saying to dial it down a notch. Panic and fear are likely to do more damage than the disease itself.

And well, if I'm wrong and it is societal collapse we won't be online for you to tell me you told me so.


I don't think anyone in here has been talking about societal collapse though :shrug:

I don't want anyone to leave here misreading the context. Richard Marx is correct. Myriad is both a noun and an adjective, and therefore it was wrong to correct him. Source: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/myriad

Giving money to rich people always helps the poor, man. You gotta help those "job creators" instead of those "job consumers". Otherwise it leads to "job overpredation"

Look I think we all know by now that giving money to the rich helps the poor and giving money to the poor is the worst thing you can do for them.

All I'm trying to say is that its a lovely situation and that I personally wouldn't blame anyone for refusing to risk their health or the health of their loved ones due to preventable risk factors.

Tbh this is how I interpreted what you said. Like, people shouldn't have to operate in those conditions. Of course the reality is that most of those people will always put themselves at risk to help others. But I didn't take that as you suggesting otherwise.
It feels like people's general stress & anxiety is bleeding through into the thread and everyone is way more ~outraged~ than usual.
