When I see a bad governmental policy I call it out regardless of country.

You will find I am also, to use your own words, “bitter” against North Korea.

Nah. There's something deeper here.

Like your own obsession with him and this thread?

One can disagree with the policies of various governments to different degrees. For example I disagree with various policies of North Korea, China, New Zealand, Texas and California but not all to the same extent. I feel stronger about certain policy decisions that a government may choose to instate.

But you don't have the facts. The situation in NZ is nothing as you have described. You are "disagreeing" with something that exists only in your imagination.

New Zealand imposes restrictions:

“But gatherings of more than 100 for events such as weddings and funerals are barred.”

Australia, while not themselves calling it a lockdown, is effectively enforcing a lockdown,

“Travel was limited to essential tasks for residents of seven council areas in Sydney's east and inner west, with home visits limited to five guests and masks mandatory indoors, even in offices and gyms. Some schools moved to online-only teaching.”

It’s just Orwellian semantics going on down under.

"The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that about half of adults infected in an outbreak of the *delta variant* in Israel were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine..."

Here in NYC I'm back to wearing the mask indoors. Outdoors not a problem, unless I get stuck in a crowd in still air. Which I won't.

It's for a few days, in fact the NZ 'restrictions' end in a few hours.

I like how you insult me with an unregistered account, it's funny. But it's a real problem with the website when those of your ilk are around.

Never left your own country, but able to speak so confidently about the rest of the world. It's a fascinating thing.

They were still restrictions imposed by the government, my point stands.

My account is registered.

Before COVID I traveled abroad every year (sometimes twice a year) for the last twenty one years.

Haha. You're a comedy character.

You’re a pantomime personality.

Ironically, the LRC resident village idiot, kmaclam, who uses redundant, passive aggressive comments about the US and COVID reopenings as his go to for 4th grade level humor on here, apparently resides in Australia. This seems like karma that he is a resident of a country that is running their own economy in to the ground, and is far behind the US in vaccinations. He somehow thought his immature jokes were clever. How you doing down there, kmaclam? Having fun?

Oh oh.

Clusters.

Super-spreaders and epicenters sure to follow.

These government clowns can't admit they've failed in their disgraceful response and are just initiating more PR damage control stunts to buy more public trust/votes. It looks as if Canada is in a similar boat to these idiots. No surprise. Florida and Texas, which actually care about people and human rights are laughing at these slow, full of themselves and incompetent govermment institutions.

I'd suggest reconsider your opinion with facts, but some people are unencumbered by the truth.

Also USA, compared to UK, Canada, NZ, Australia, has the lowest percentage of population over 65 (> 80% deaths) and over 80.

Covid-19 deaths per capita:

UK #17

USA #18

...

Canada #58

...

Aust #116

NZ #150

Vaccine doses/100

UK: 112

US: 96

Canada: 92

...

Aust: 28

NZ: 21

Average Life Expectancy:

Aust: 83 (#7)

Canada 82.2 (#15)

NZ 82 (#16)

UK: 81 (#25)

....

USA: 78.5 (#40)

Don’t dare disobey the lockdown orders in Australia. Even a peaceful march could bring the wrath of the state upon you.

But but Orwell said.

58 years young, gone too soon.

Good grief you are one bias lefty. Post what YOU want to feel good about yourself, deal old man?

Doesn't matter if the poster is unregistered, it's irrelevant. Is your name actually trollism? How dumb are you to not see reality?

NZ reporting 2 new infections today, and they're imposing small restrictions on a small area for a short time. (No gatherings of more than 100 people and masks worn on public transport.) Why do you people always feel the need to lie in order to prove your point, is it because you generally get away with it?

But I guess if Mississippi's vaccination rate makes you feel good about yourself, you go girl.

Good grief you are one bias lefty. Post what YOU want to feel good about yourself, deal old man?

You seem upset and unable to post under your registered handle.

You should find someone to talk to about that.

It shouldn’t really matter if your screen name is registered. However, the irony is that my name is in fact registered.

That's the point.

All the people who attack others with unregistered handles also have a registered handle.

It shows massive weakness. Don't do it. Don't be that weak. Have the courage of your conviction to own your comments (which is weird because it's still anonymous).

Not me.

All my attacks come from this registered handle.

Hello idiot. I have registered my handle. What changed? Nothing. You are still an anonymous moron, obsessed with this thread, with energeticlotuseater and with Hardloper.
