As we have noted since the launch of the COVID War, the mainstream media used it to sell Fear and Hysteria to boost dreadfully sagging ratings and power-hungry politicians seized on it to take more control. (See our 5 May article, “CNN, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?”)
And, as we have been reporting, with COVID death rates dropping, the media keeps pumping COVID “cases” to keep the Fear Game going, and power-hungry politicians never let a good crisis go to waste:
New Zealand extends Auckland lockdown as virus outbreak persists
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday extended a lockdown in New Zealand’s largest city, saying more time was needed to ensure a stubborn cluster of coronavirus infections was under control.
Ardern said stay-at-home orders would remain in place across Auckland until at least late Sunday, instead of restrictions easing late Wednesday as originally planned.
“These extra four days are believed necessary to allow us to move down a level in Auckland, and stay down,” she said.
“We want both confidence and certainty for everyone.”
Auckland went into lockdown on August 12, a day after the virus re-emerged in the city, ending New Zealand’s record of 102 days without community transmission.
She said even when the Auckland restrictions are eased, the entire country could remain at Level Two, the second-lowest rating on New Zealand’s four-tier virus alert system.

TRENDPOST: Since late March, when COVID-19 hit New Zealand, 22 people of a population of five million have died from the virus or 0.0004 percent. The last victim died on 28 May.
Yet, be in New Zealand or New York, COVID Panic persists and governments impose draconian orders and seize more control over the people… and the majority of the population buys what it is sold and marches off to orders.
