OPINION: The Government is trying to throttle the bastard. By announcing a four-week nationwide lockdown, Jacinda Ardern is aiming to break the chain of community transition of Covid-19 as quickly as possible.The Government is doing this early before the number of community cases - currently only at two officially - gets out of hand.
