As much as I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade I get a feeling that too many people in NZ think that the battle is just about won. IMO thanks to some excellent Govt actions we have won only the first skirmish. Singapore and other Asian nations who thought they were on top of this are now being hit by a second wave. This virus still has a long way to run. The fact is that 99.99% of Kiwis have no immunity to the virus. Until a vaccine is found the virus will continually circulate. I would expect NZ to drop down to level 3 and possibly level 2 but we are in for what the W.H.O calls “stop go mode” , continual spikes reoccurring will force us back to level 4 on occasions.
It’s a false dream that the various sporting codes have of restarting pro sport this winter. The best the A-league can hope for is a normal resumption in spring with no crowds. Life will not return to normal until everyone is vaccinated. Most likely 12 to 18 months. We should be able to buy a ticket to see the Nix in next years playoffs.
