On this day in 2020, New Zealand went into COVID Alert Level 4 a.k.a. lockdown. We did really well as a country, saved thousands of lives. Six years later, COVID is part of our landscape; we're in our 9th wave of COVID.

@soonleenz@wandering.shop You guys did spectacularly well with covid. Lowest death rate in the world. In Ardern you also had a prime minister who was the envy of the world. Then you voted in an idiot that no-one is jealous of, or even knows their name, and people started dying of covid. Such a shame.

@soonleenz@wandering.shop Like the flu, Covid has now become a constant threat. It pays to keep up the vaccinations. No one wants to suffer from long Covid.
