wow! That all sounds horrible.
I agree with everything you've said re COVID. I'm not yet vaxed, will be when my turn rolls around and after I've had both doses I'd expect to be able to go wherever, whenever I want. Theoretically I'd be a minimal threat to anyone if I became ill. I'd doubt Auckland cluster will get anywhere near the NSW situation, NZ's lockdown has been so much quicker and harder than theirs and cases are pretty much all traced and linked and a majority are now being transmitted between families that have been in level 4 together. Personally I find the comparisons between countries futile, because both sides think they are doing it the right way. For mine though, given NZ has largely got lockdowns sorted other governments saying that we have to live with the virus now when their vax rate is low is just conceding that they got it wrong and should have used a tougher lockdown system than they did. Living with the virus will be fine (much like the flu or measles etc) once most of the population is vaxed (70-80%).
