MIQ is an absolute nightmare for the average Joe that isn't good mates with Clarke, no matter how serious the situation is.

Looks like Omicron is confirmed in Palmy, based on the latest phrasing in the the MoH Locations of Interest.

I’ve got half of my class down with it - coming of age day got them drunk, laid, and the Rona on the side.
No-brainer risk for a 20 year old.

They are so relaxed about it, but the little bastards were like 'but you should watch out Prof. gt12 as you are pretty old'

Yay, that omricon is finally in.
Boo, that we will be going straight to an elimination-style red light, rather than using them to flatten the curve.
Hopefully it isn't just a lingerer like Delta , we need a big bang to paradigm shift the govt's approach. We need them chasing their tail in a hopless attempt to catch up, rather than front footing it. They've been too damn effective.

@rapido How shithouse is that. My workmate is getting married in 4 weeks and looks like she’s going to have to cut back heavily on the number of guests if we go Red. She’s in pieces.
Heavily? That was going to be a big wedding!
Can still do 100pax at Red

But it looks like there also needs to be 1m spacing (as well as the 100 people max). So, that will likely reduce the capacity the venue can handle.

a very quick read seems to suggest your Red Light is what we are under at the moment. Wear a mask, a few limits around the place. Although, at least here in Qld, they have delayed the return to school by a couple of weeks (by which time they estimate it will have peaked here)
You know, the "letting it rip" the fuckwits like to keep saying

That's encouraging then.
Because even our orange seems to be too much for delta to reach any sort of exponentiality. So, there is hope then that omricon can 'rip' despite our light settings.

@rapido said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
Imagine dis-inviting people from your wedding!!!
Excruciating. Would hate to be in that position.
I reckon it would be awesome. Can get rid of the people you felt obliged to invite rather than wanted to.
-
@rapido Yeah, that’s the hard bit. Everyone will understand that there needs to be cuts. But everyone will also be offended if they’re one of the cuts! It’s a shit position to be in.
Of course all the people who are real friends are first in the queue to say don’t worry about me etc, but they are the ones she actually wants there.

@jc said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@crucial 160+ guests.
Although that seems a lot, I'd wager most people here could come up with half that number once they add extended family, school friends, uni friends, sporting friends, work colleagues etc.
The great difficulty isn't coming up with a big list, it's as @Rapido points out; limiting the attendees. Even worse to say you are the first off the bus...

I sympathise that she can't have what she wants on her big day but tbf she was taking a risk in her planning by going over the possible limit.
It's like people getting stuck overseas when travelling for non essential reasons. The risk was known and well spelled out. The result is shit though.I have a workmate also doing a wedding in a few weeks. It is planned to the Nth degree and she deliberately kept numbers down and let guests know they couldn't attend if un-vaxxed.
She took the approach of wanting certainty and avoiding last minute disappointment and stress.Yep, shit choices to have to make but they are choices.

With New Zealand's government, how the fuck could she plan without just trying for one of the biggest days of her life? Not sure why you feel it's ok to victim blame here.

I'm not victim blaming. I said it's shit that her risk didn't pay off.
It would have been great for her if it had.We've been in covid uncertainty for almost two years now
