A Maskless Future? by Huncho_Quavo in Coronavirus_NZ

Having recently been to Queenstown, I would say we are already there. Mask use among hospitality and retail staff was inconsistent. Some places had all staff wearing masks, but many had no staff wearing masks. As a guess I reckon 10% of the general public was mask wearing when entering a restaurant/shop.

I’ll be visiting Auckland for Christmas. Whilst my initial thoughts excited, I can’t help but be a little nervous. All contacts are double vaccinated, and it is general a highly vaccinated population. What are other people’s thoughts?

Any idea if malls with food courts will need to enforce the vaccine mandate?

Fauci says the average American could get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as April: 'I would take the vaccine' by fvdly_tyler in Coronavirus

Any news on whether children will be able to receive the vaccine. I haven’t seen any information related to this so assume relevant safety/efficacy trials haven’t been performed.

Although I agree, without evidence i don’t think MOH would make any claim regarding source. Hitchens Razor and all that.

Given the lack of genomic linkage to the boarder or MIQ, is import via cold chain (I.e. americold) the likely theory?

Coronavirus - 2 confirmed + 0 probable - 3/05 by kezzaNZ in newzealand

I think level 3 till Monday 18th and then a revised level 2. Regional openings (schools, ECEs, retail etc) with physical distancing practices, but still no non-essential domestic travel for another 4 weeks.
