This is not a joke. New Zealand was the model country in handling the outbreak just a few weeks ago, according to the media. They had stringent lock downs and mask requirements.The media praised their handling of the pandemic.
Now, New Zealand’s government has decided to put all people who test positive for COVID-19 into mandatory quarantine facilities. Not just the positive people but also anyone around them, like family members, who could have been exposed and could possibly be at risk.

These quarantine facilities, mostly hotels, were initially set up for travelers, according to the New Zealand government but are now being used for their own citizens.
What happens if you don't want to get tested?
Well, then you don't get out.
New Zealand PM on what happens at their mandatory, military-enforced COVID-19+ quarantine facilities: "What do we do if someone refuses to be tested? Well, they can't now. If someone refuses to be tested, they have to keep staying. They won't be able to leave after 14 days." pic.twitter.com/kODiMqNURB

Things must be really bad there in order to take such draconian measures, right?
Well, as of the August 12 Yahoo article, New Zealand had 36 cases with 13 of those cases in Auckland. So, naturally, Auckland is in a state of indefinite lock down. The government has also postponed elections.
This is an unprecedented overreach of government power but it's close to what some Democrat run cities and states in the United States of America are doing. Mandatory lock downs, businesses cannot open, mandatory mask wearing and even curfews have been imposed in some of those cities.
Could this be the next move for some governors and mayors in the U.S.A.?
I'd like to say "no, it's not possible" but I never thought I'd see local governments shut down businesses and mandate masks for a virus that has over a 99.8% survival rate. Yet, here we are.
Why is the sign in Arabic?
So A rabid person knows it’s an emergency station if they cannot read kiwi.
YOUR SO CALLED INSIDE SCOOP POLITICS IS SO ACCURATE IT HAS TO USE PICTURES OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST WITH ARMY PERSONNEL NOT EVEN NEW ZEALAND FORCES AND THEN ALSO USING A AUSTRALIAN POLITICIAN TO MAKE THEIR POINT. AND “YES ” INFECTED PEOPLE IN NEW ZEALAND ARE ISOLATED IN DRACONIAN 4 AND 5 STAR HOTELS FREE OF CHARGE BEING FED WATERED AND LOOKED AFTER BY MEDICAL STAFF ALL FOR FREE . TERRIBLE CONDITIONS TO PLACE ON THE ON THE REST OF THE COUNTRY BY PUTTING IN HARSH RESTRICTION AND KEEPING THE REST OF THE POPULATION SAFE AND MOST LIKELY COMING OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC WELL BEFORE ANYONE ELSE WITH AN ECONOMY BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE WELL BEFORE AN IDIOTS LIKE DONALD TRUMP IS PREDICTING WILL HAPPEN IN AMERICA

I tried to figure out how we got here. Part of it is JUDGEMENT from God for us rejecting Him back in the 60’s.
And part of it is the desire of those who have grasp power to expand their power as much as possible.
Power corrupts.
Absolutely power corrupts absolutely.
So is no one in New Zealand asking why such extreme measures for such a low number of sick?
Apparently the PC mind is complete. Unable to comprehend that they have just allowed their freedoms to be taken away. But THIS is the British mind. Look at the repulsive person that is PIERS MORGAN.
Not only can he not think rationally He also wants to tell us how WE should think and ridicule us for not being a sheep like he is.
God help us.
You’re right
You’re right on
Obviously you do not know but the US Government has the power and Authority to do the same thing. It can be used under a National medical/health emergency order. They can place you and your family in a quarantine facility. Much the same as declaring Marshal law if it’s required.
So shut your mouth about Trump, all you never Trumpers, Biden already said for lockdown this is next step.
Communism. The left is on the move. Votes these people out for freedoms sake.
Lou
Government over reach. Sounds like Germany
Or the Soviet Union.
Now, gov. nitwitSHITLER has another lockdown idea to put Michigan under!
Just a trial run for a totalitarian state. Wow, New Zealand? Never would have thunk it.
Communists worldwide are coordinating their assault on liberty.
Raises the question of the Second Amendment. We have them to overthrow tyrannies, royalty and despots, to name a few.
this is nuts if someone you have been around tests positive then they and you get Quarantined with others
who may or may not be positive this should insure that if you weren’t positive you will be before your are done
True exercise of Marxism.. ..the state steps in and tells you what to do or else. Those people are doomed if they don’t rise up against this.
But the CDC says quarantine is unnecessary … https://www.msn.com/en-us/Travel/news/cdc-quietly-drops-mandatory-14-day-quarantine-after-traveling/ar-BB18eQT0?ocid=sf
As someone who lives on New Zealand I have to say that this article is at variance with the truth. But I haven’t got time to give more details. I’ve got to set up the barbie on the beach with my mates.
