Public health academic says NZ should never ever go to Green
Newshub reports:
An epidemiologist is questioning if New Zealand should ever go to the green COVID-19 traffic light setting, saying it may be too risky. …
Dr Jackson, from the University of Auckland, said New Zealand got its timing perfect – but told Morning Report people to remember “this is the worst public health crisis in 100 years”.
“I’m not sure we should ever go green,” he said.
“It’s all about safety.”
This is depressing stuff. They never ever want to allow us to have a normal life again. There is just a total lack of awareness of the costs (economic, social, mental) of these restrictions.
Using this logic, NZ should do the following:
- Engineer all cars so they can not go faster than 30 km/hr
- Ban all wine and beer over 1% alcohol
- Close down the entire forestry sector
- Ban people from going swimming in the ocean
- Quarantine everyone over the age of 70 in facilities to keep them safe
After all, it’s all about safety.
