Everyone returning to NZ now has to have a government quarantine booking pass before they are allowed to board an incoming flight and of course only returning New Zealanders or foreigners with special exemptions are allowed into the country.

And so it should be after we all went through a severe period of lockdown to get Covid out of the community and can now enjoy Covid free freedom of movement around the country and in our lives. Sure there is an economic hit but there is too for every country that has Covid in addition to the death and misery it has caused and continues to cause in those countries.

Despite optimism from some, it seems from new information out now that any immunity seems to be short lived therefore a vaccine is not likely to be of benefit, Covid is here to stay for a considerable time yet.

Following that logic isn't New Zealand simply delaying the inevitable introduction and explosion of cases or is New Zealand planning on staying locked down to foreigners forever?

Ask Britain that question today as they head into a four week lockdown. A country overcome by a pandemic is going to be thoroughly screwed financially too, probably better to be healthy and screwed rather than unhealthy and screwed.
