^A lot of the world is struggling with covid, sadly it doesn't sound like they are deterring Covid or getting it under control the best they can.


That awkward moment when you realize that the vaccine wasn't developed by New Zealand.

Flights incoming from Brazil have not been cancelled and there are no plans to do so :|

I find this rather bizarre given that half the world has banned flights to their own countries from the UK due to the "British variant".
Trading businesses/Merchant Agreements/Dealings is what keeps the border open.

UK woman with her sister drove a hundred miles for a burger, and was fined £200 as it wasn't essential travel:

Not sure what your problem is??

From what I have read, death rates and the amount of people contracting Covid is still just as strong, possibly stronger at this time. Hopefully in time the vaccine will kick in, from what I've read it could take a couple of years??

All I am saying is that England is an island too apparently smaller in size than New Zealand. If England wanted to it could close of it's borders until they have covid controlled.

Well yes it is an island but that is not what you said = " England is an
isolated country
too
"
The closing of England's borders would not be an option - as it would not for Wales, Scotland and N Ireland = (UK) also Our geographic stature means we are not self sufficient in many essential things - imagine closing the borders to all the imported oil for instance - just not possible.

We are in the same boat, we export a lot of goods, plus lots of goods get exported in.

Ands that's one thing we don't have is people sailing into our lands. Yes, I know France is rather close. I thought Wales and Scotland are in the same land area, only Ireland is separated by water.

Closing the boarders was what worked for us.

England is an isolated country too, just like New Zealand. England does have a huge population unlike New Zealand. New Zealand's largest city has over 1.6 million people, New Zealand's capital has just over 200k <- when Covid hit our shores last year, we worked hard as a nation, we didn't pull out of lockdown too early, we were actually in lockdown way longer than what was needed <- this is how we beat it, how we got on top of it. We all worked together as a nation, we all did what was asked of us, minus a handful of people here and there who broke the rules; the rule breakers were spoken to by the police, fined and even one or more went to jail I believe. I feel all countries could achieve this.
LOL, ... what an utter bullshit. Every day, 20 planes land in Amsterdam, all from the UK. You do the math. :P :P

That's England's choice to keep the borders open. England has the choice to close it's borders to the world until covid has been resolved.
Be careful what you say, as proven with the UK, New Zealand isn't 100% airtight sealed isolated from the rest of the world.

What??

Have you read any of my posts in the last so many days??

Not sure what your problem is either.

What is in your favour above all is your diminutive population of about 5 mil - as opposed to UK (NB - UK not "England&quot ;) 66 mil or USA 328 mil - higher populations and increased demographic densities have a greater potential for virus spread. The greater the population = the greater the chances lockdown will be breeched.

I am glad to see you are no longer advocating 'herd immunity' madness.

No. I am talking about Visitors.

Not freight, not hauliers. Merely random people visiting this country for any purpose they want (provided their documentation is in order).

As for people entering the country for "business" purposes .... why? Why come halfway across the globe for a 'business meeting' in the current pandemic when video conferencing is a thing.

Not stopping foreign nationals entering the country is bad management of a bad situation.

Seen it happen here too on national television, a German virologist, working in the Netherlands, claiming that in Germany everything was organized better/people listening way better than in the Netherlands and ... bammmm ... a week later all hell broke loose in Germany having thousands upon thousands infections every 24 hours lasting for weeks in a row.
You have no guarantee that nothing will happen. :)

I totally agree with you, nobody should cross borders in a state like this nor should people go unnecessarily go on family/friends visit with the exception of the health-care for those people who are depended on the help of others.
