More Americans have died of Covid 19 than the combined deaths of WW1, WW2, Korean War.

When I look at my scorecard for Jacinda I figure, “Well she has to go along with her hangers on”.

Then I look at the possible replacements and figure “ Well that would be out of the Frying Pan into the Fire wouldn’t it.

We’re Doomed.

National would open the borders, start the economy on a path back to normal again and end up like USA with plenty of people dying of Covid but of course the businessmen would be making money and profits and that's all that really matters.

This crisis is not going to go away, Covid will always be with us but hopefully manageable with vaccines, the big problem which is going to make Covid seem like nothing is Global Warming, however with any luck we are in the best place on Earth to get through the worst for as long as possible, that's why I came to NZ almost 50 years ago now because I saw the writing on the wall in the early seventies.

Well I for one do not intend to spend the rest of my life hiding under the bed terrified of whatever is the current thing to panic about. Not even one of the predicted disasters forcaste to kill us, starve us, freeze us or drown us all in known history has ever looked close to coming true.
Having said that I am fully supportive of common sense measures to avoid illness or pollution. I also understand how many people who accept everything they are told by politicians or the news media as gospel truth are now living in fear. I still believe that I am far more likely to be injured in a traffic accident than I am to be laid low by the dreaded Covid.

If it was left to run its course we would all get Covid, just a matter of time and that still may be true as we lower restrictions and the vaccine takes effect we may get caught out by changes in the virus and the efficaciousness of vaccines as time goes on.

This time it's different, world population is too large, abuse of the ecosystem is rampant. Major losses of insect populations, bees for instance, are a serious problem.

I'm totally relaxed, it's too late to do anything to solve the problem, and impossible to mitigate with the attitudes that most people hold, so the problem will solve itself.

Seymor is chasing the hunting, shooting and fishing vote which is surprisingly larger than people think it is in NZ.

In case anyone is interested:

Covid vaccine impact forecast - https://assets.publishing.service.go...scenarios_.pdf

"With the new aggressive covid strain, likely transmission efficacies prove insufficient to prevent further infection outbreaks across the population. This means that the proportion of individuals that do not accept the vaccine together with the proportion for whom it is ineffective in protecting, may still account for significant further severe disease even after the program is completed"
