what was said in the press conference:

Four people tested positive. The outbreak is in one family. The first case was a man in his 50s, who had symptoms for five days and then tested positive after being tested yesterday. The man has no history of overseas travel.

The city where the outbreak happened, Auckland, will go into alert level 3 at noon tomorrow. That means that schools, bars, cafes, resturaunts etc. will be shut. Contactless deliveries and takeaways will still be allowed. People should work from home if possible. Any kind of public gathering is banned, except for weddings and funerals, which can have up to 10 people in attendance. Travelling to the city is banned unless you live there. Auckland contains 1/3 of NZ’s total population and is the business hub of the country.

The rest of the country is going to level 2. That’s where basic precautions are put in place, such as two-metre social distancing. Gatherings of more than 100 people are not allowed. You can read about the differences of alert levels here.

These alert levels will be in place for the next three days, but in all likelihood they’ll be extended.

To my fellow NZers: don’t panic buy you dumb cunts. Our biggest exports are meat and dairy. We also had tons of wood lying around with no buyer during our last lockdown (for toilet paper). We are not going to run out of anything. Don’t be an idiot.

It’s been 102 days since the last case from community transmission. This outbreak sucks but the fact that we’re freaking out about an outbreak of four people while tens of thousands are infected every day elsewhere shows how good a spot we’re in.

Curious where the hell it would have come from after 100 days.

Article states one family but no international travel.

Still impressive how quick they roll out the response and restrictions.

Edit - thanks for the responses all, good insight into how things are over there.

And the government just triggered the emergency alert system at 10:15pm at night to make sure everyone knows.

NZer here, specifically Auckland. After 6 months of not working I was meant to start a new job tomorrow.

One word. Fuck.

Tomorrow's headlines: "Uber moves away from California"

She looks like a cashier I know.

Date: why do you have a pair of glasses in a display? Guy: I have bought Mia Khalifa's cum stained glasses for 100.000 dollars.

I can’t wait to see these show up on the antique roadshow in a few decades

“I found these glasses in grandpas old desk. I don’t really know much about them”

“Well let me just tell you my heart darn near skipped when I saw you bring these in”

Oh she's actually Lebanese? I thought she was strictly gay for pay. ^{I'll see meself out...}

Sure, that glasses absorbed a lot of blasts long before

Someone actually spending over $100,000 for cum glasses?

This auction is being run with both their, and the LRC's awareness), the last prize added for that milestone was my retainer," she added.

...why.

> Amid a Controversial Election
You mean so people can't pass information around? so they don't communicate about where protest location sites are etc?

Shutting off the internet is a SURE sign of a fair and democratic election!

The dumb part with this is it affects all businesses too. It's not just protests you affect. You affect all production too. Most businesses grind to a halt when the internet is out. Thousands upon thousands of companies are now losing money and can't work. This is a tactic that doesn't really work in the modern age. It's suicide, and the corporate donors should be the first ones on the door step going "Why the fuck are you making me lose money!"

This is pretty much How to Fuck Your Nation 101. It's like becoming a quadriplegic because you dislike mosquito bites on your arms and legs. That's the level of insanity that is this tactic.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

Cellular service in Belarus have been down since Sunday evening, after sporadic outages early that morning and throughout the day.

The connectivity blackout, which also includes landline phones, appears to be a government-imposed outage that comes amid widespread protests and increasing social unrest over Belarus' presidential election Sunday.

NetBlocks observed an outage that went largely unnoticed by the Belarus population, given the hour, but the country's internet infrastructure became increasingly wobbly afterward.

Work with someone who recently immigrated from Belarus. Said they arrested over 3,000 protestors last night. People were protesting peacefully and the police attacked them which devolved into an all out skirmish.

Seems like the thin veil of democracy is starting to slip world wide. Hong Kong, Crimea, Belarus....

So am I going to get drafted for WWIII?

Edit:

Some countries I didn’t list (feel free to send me more, the world is a shit show, i don’t pretend to be acutely aware of every shitty country)

Brazil, Venezuela, Romania, North Korea, the United States

Edit4: you can add, India, Israel, Iran, Taiwan and Bulgaria to the list.

Also, I get it guys, the United States is a huge offender. Between the systemic racism that’s been passed down in more compact discrete forms since slavery, the complete corruption of our government officials whoring themselves out to corporations, or most recently the excessive use of brutal violence by the police against protestors that are literally protesting police brutality.

So we all see that the world is slipping, what are you going to do about it? Earnest question, not looking for snark.
