Jacinda Ardern has declared it “time to safely turn the page” on New Zealand’s Covid-19 restrictions, scrapping all but a handful of remaining rules.

New Zealand, which once eliminated the virus through the toughest pandemic rules in the world, has made relaxations similar to Australian or European conditions.

Mask-wearing will no longer be mandatory in public places, and the last vaccine mandates will be ditched in two weeks under sweeping changes announced by the prime minister on Monday.

However, the government is sticking by a seven-day isolation period for people with virus, defying calls to shorten isolation to five days.

Why now?

TPTB use supercomputers to run prediction models on how the masses will react to any given stimulus.

The models show Covid mandates and all the associated bullshit has run it's course, and the people are over it and close to rebelling.

They can't have that.

I agree and to add to this, I do believe NZ and Australia are testing grounds for lack of a better term, due to their location. Here's something I just pulled-up regarding their rate/percentage of vaxx in the population in NZ:

New Zealand has administered at least 11,275,493 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that's enough to have vaccinated about 114.7% of the country's population
