Yes hundreds of thousands of people have died, however as I stated, there's many unknown factors which we will never know about and rightly so as people are entitled to dignity & privacy in life.
One's health information is one's private business.
Frankly I'm appalled with those who use "Free media" to plaster other peoples photographs and information claiming those people have Covid19/Coronavirus when those people going about their lives, including transported into hospitals, have not consented to the use of their images.
New Zealand projections from the experts was 80,000 deaths.
That's around 70,000 more deaths than the Influenza Epidemic ( Spanish flu) in 1918 that we had in New Zealand.
We have an average of 90 deaths a day in NZ from a variety of causes, including vehicle accidents, suicide or whatever else.
You can be reassured I do indeed have regard for human life.
I live in a mixed age range community where there's Aged Care Facilities nearby and often chat to those delightful sage people who live there on our travels.
Last week I was blessed to have an informative conversation with a 100 year old lady & her 86 year old friend, both of whom are intelligent, competent women who are fed up with being told they must stay at home locked inside & spoken down to by our Government about health matters.
The Police also have had concerns about the lawfulness of a lockdown.
They have high risk jobs that impacts on there health to and have recreation needs outside of work for their own well being that have also been impacted on.
There are police officers who are surfers & swimmers who have questioned why people were told those activities were forbidden whilst under lockdown during our summer when people traditionally are outside.
They are the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff with law & order.
Domestic violence in NZ during lockdown has escalated.
A Judge has also issued a decision on behalf of a gentleman who had traveled back to New Zealand from the UK, is healthy with no Covid19 symptoms, who was denied the lawful right by Director of Health Ashley Bloomfield, to see his dying father.
The Judge, a woman I'm proud to say, has cited errors of law in relation to people been denied basic legal rights enshrined in New Zealand law and allowed the gentleman to see his dying father ( not Covid19) who had asked where his son was.
It's just one of many appalling cases we have been advised about where people have requested to see family who are ill or dying on Compassionate grounds, that has surfaced.
We have women who are pregnant been denied basic health care and told use portable showers on the street which disgusted me.
We can all learn from each other including informing people about their basic human rights enshrined in LAW across the world.
It may surprise you I do have a background in law.
All the best, keep safe.
