Hardly.
They just want to be able to identify people when the theft and murder skyrocket this winter.
They can't get people to willingly stop wearing the masks when they're still terrorized by their government into thinking they'll die if they step outside without wearing one.
I still see a lot of people wearing them around here and it's been over a year since the government was trying to tell you that you had to through unconstitutional executive order by the corrupt Governor.

In less than two weeks, you could walk out of a pharmacy with a next-generation COVID booster in your arm. Just a few days ago, the Biden administration indicated that the first updated COVID-19 vaccines would be available shortly after Labor Day to Americans 12 and older who have already had their primary series. Unlike the shots the U.S. has now, the new doses from Pfizer and Moderna will be bivalent, which means they’ll contain genetic material based both on the ancestral strain of the coronavirus and on two newer Omicron subvariants that are circulating in the U.S.

After a historic drop in 2020, life expectancy in the United States took another significant hit in 2021.
According to provisional data published Wednesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, life expectancy at birth dropped by nearly a year between 2020 and 2021 -- and by more than two and a half years overall since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Life expectancy at birth fell to 76.1 years, the lowest it has been in the US since 1996, and the biggest 2-year decline in a century.
Covid-19 was the driving factor, with deaths from the virus contributing to half of the decline from 2020 to 2021, according to the report from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
The death rate from Covid-19 was higher in 2021 than it was in 2020, so it wasn't particularly surprising that life expectancy would fall again, Bob Anderson, chief mortality statistician for the CDC, told CNN.
Also, drug overdose deaths reached a record high in 2021, killing about 109,000 people. And deaths from unintentional injuries -- about half of which are due to drug overdose -- was the second-leading cause of the decline in life expectancy. . . . "We have the science and the tools available to help us reverse this trend and reduce the number of overdose deaths in this country. But these tools are not being used effectively."
An 'astounding' decline
The recent decline among American Indian and Alaska Native people is particularly "astounding," Anderson said.
The life expectancy for this group plunged by nearly 2 years between 2020 and 2021 and a startling 6.6 years since 2019 -- more than twice as much as it did for the total US population.
At 65.2 years, the life expectancy for American Indians in 2021 was equal to the overall US life expectancy in 1944.
"When I saw that, in the report, I just -- my jaw dropped," Anderson said.
"It was hard enough to fathom a 2.7 year decline over 2 years overall. But then to see a 6.6 year decline for the American Indian population -- it just shows the substantial impact that the pandemic has had on that population."
Deaths from Covid-19 directly were the leading contributor to the decline in life expectancy among American Indian people in 2021, but deaths due to drug overdose and other unintentional injuries, as well as chronic liver disease, which is often caused by alcohol abuse, were nearly equal contributors for this group.
A separate study, published as a preprint in June, ( https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.04.05.22273393v4 ) found that the decrease in life expectancy in the US over the course of the pandemic was "highly racialized" and substantially larger than it was for a set of comparable countries. In fact, that study found that life expectancy increased slightly between 2020 and 2021 for the set of 21 peer countries.
In the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, life expectancy declined least among White people. In the second year of the pandemic, however, this group saw the second-biggest decline in life expectancy -- and deaths due to Covid-19 contributed to the drop among White people more than any other racial or ethnic group.

Quote:There are many people who are not Democrats fitting the following description : Fat people, drunkards, smokers, addicts of all kinds, those who are obvious to their obligations. They die from Covid. What is the moral? Don't be a glutton. Don't be obvious. Don't smoke. Etc. Funny how counties run by Republicans had a high percentage of their population die from Covid, but if you think nobody dies from Covid, there is nothing to any of this.

How should New Zealand manage Covid from now – limit all infections or focus on preventing severe disease?

I say New Zealand should just keep throwing everybody in camps.
They gave away their right to bear arms, so they deserve to be a shining example of what that gets you.
