Please, please, New Zealand, stay home ❤️ it's just 7 days. We can ditch a whole year of losses and problems. Please, just chill for 7 days. Nothing is worth more than the life of your neighbours and loved ones. United we can get rid of this virus. Be thoughtful if you have to go out, please.

I don't know. I don't know what's best. On one hand I think locking down is a bad idea. On one small bit of a finger on the other hand, I think it's good to slow the spread. Why just a small bit? At what cost? I've read some posts from a NZ'r of losing a wife during lockdowns. Now they are insanely anxious and depressed again after trying to gain some semblance of a life back. Not to mention it seems that every other month at this point there is a new variant. So to what end is waiting for the next best vaccine?

Everyone on r/newzealand basically hates me commenting about this. I am wrong, they are right sort of mentality. I appreciate the responses.
