A few weeks ago the government of New Zealand did something that seemed so egregiously stupid it spurred me out of my blogging lethargy and got me posting again. I was furious at how they had decided to give up - as I saw it - in the face of the Delta outbreak and just let us 'take it on the chin' in Johnsonesque style.
Turns out I may have been wrong as we seem to be - perhaps, perhaps - about to squash Delta.
Just on time for Omicron.
Get boosted, people.
(And yes, I'm aware most people probably don't bother getting tested over Christmas, even when they feel sick, and this will have reduced the identification of cases. But the over all trend has been indicating the virus has been struggling to find purchase, in spite of the government's move away from elimination. We'll probably see a spike in cases in a few days as people who would have been tested in the last few days come forward; we should try not to panic too much when that happens.)
