I’m guessing you weren’t in Auckland?

You Aucklanders are still really hung up on that extra lockdown you got because Delta turned up.

As in, the most lethal variant of Covid.

But never mind that, it was bad for the local economy, right? You know what's worse? Excessive deaths due to Delta.

I agreed with the lockdown and still do. I was pointing out that for a lot of us it was far from business-as-usual for a significant chunk of time.
