COVID Fearmongering Seems to be Ramping Up for the Holidays

The beating of the lockdown drums appears to be getting louder. Hopefully, we are wrong, and it is nothing more than summer waves beckoning us. But hope has not kept the advancing clouds at bay so far.

A spokesperson for NZDSOS mentioned “we have been told about adverts for Contact Tracers, able to work full-time over Christmas and New Year. They haven’t been in business for months and there are other ad-hoc duties they are required to do. We wonder what those ‘ad hoc duties’ that they must be able to perform will include”.

We hear that corporate Christmas parties are being cancelled, and Santa Claus is being stood down or uninvited from some festivities. What does Santa know that we don’t? We’ve even seen an ad for mask packers on a local Facebook page. Why would we need more masks, since they don’t work and make things worse? Maybe Michael Baker wants to send us all a Christmas present?
