Re: CV and mad panic behaviour

You know why Dan didn't jump into the next stage of lockdown straight away? Because of the backlash he was receiving from the public. People were angry. They were scared. Businesses would crumble.
He waited, he hoped, he prayed. BUT, we didn't listen and the numbers kept going the wrong way.
So he was too lenient, for our benefit.
Now, he is deemed as being too harsh.....again for our benefit as we don't listen.
He is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.
Leaders DO NOT do that, they lead, they take charge, they do what they know is in the public's best interest... and you never trust the public at large -- plenty of ripper folks but enough c0ckheads to fck it up for everyone else. NZ didn't hope, or pray, or wait - bang, both times Jacinda was onto it regardless of what people thought... and this a month out from elections - she risked being unpopular but knew what was best for the population and fckn jumped on it.
If Dan holds firm on this, risks being unpopular... well, better late than never but he will still cop flack for his slow response and the subsequent costs.
