I know Auckland lockdowns were longer and more difficult. But they are incorrect. They weren’t “the worst in the world”. Melbourne had the longest lockdowns in the world.

Auckland had an extra 3-4 months than the rest of the country (for a total of about 6, but Melbourne had basically 9 months.

Well you’ve been reading incorrect.

I live in NZ and was here all through covid. We had, outside Auckland, a total of 8 weeks lockdown, then some mild restrictions for a few weeks, then business as usual.

Places like Melbourne and the UK had over a year of restrictions and many more months of lockdown

NZ had relatively a very short lock down and were one of the few oecd countries that was back to regular life in 2020. Other than wearing masks in certain places you could go to restaurants, movies, regular shops etc.

Eventually there was another lock down, for most of the country it was much shorter. One town had to go longer though cause they kept having cases pop up.

This was so fucked up. I know presidents shouldn’t be able to set things in stone, but it shouldn’t be so easy for a petty president to just undo the all last ones things just cause they’re a thin skinned bitch

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t renamed because people were morons about child weather, at least not completely. It’s always been “climate change”, because that’s a better representation of what is happening.

The climate is changing, and one is the main side effects it’s global warming… But there’s extra fun side effects, like ocean acidification, that aren’t because of the warning
