Question. Where do you live? Interested to see where you are getting your opinions from.
A case today did not neccesarily get it yesterday. They may have got it last week, and got tested today Or was a family member of someone that got sick.
You don't suddenly go "ok we found this cluster that have it so we will no longer have anymore cases".
It does take time to get those cases out, and if you paid any attention to NZ response last time, you can see that works.
If NZ had completely shut down its borders after the last lockdown - and I mean completely shut it down, no people, no cargo, no goods etc - then it would have been eradicated.
This latest cluster was not from the disease just silently hanging around for 14 weeks to suddenly jump again.
If the entire world had of done a similar thing for 6 weeks, it would be gone.
