Daaamn Sister. Taken down, so to speak.
One of the few people who govern a country/SAR/overseas territory etc. to - . Sorry, that is wrong. You/She has not been confirmed as positive.
I wonder if she has taken a covid test? I wouldn't be surprised if she has. Same goes for Dame Cindy Kiro, who recently enough became the Governor-General and not just that, the first Māori Governor-General.
Not that it necessarily matters, but Jacinda Ardern's managing of covid-19 in the New Zealand context has been on point (of course Dr Ashley Bloomfield has a huge contribution and she has stated this herself). She has not denied the existence of covid, she has not put the economy first, she has not continually put the population in and out of restrictions etc. She has been super competent. She is a working mother who is a female Prime Minister: four salient points there.
Maybe I am ignorant, but it sounds like she went on a 'normal' flight, ie not a chartered/private jet - a noteworthy point in terms of covid and a general context.
Another thought, presumably she lives with Clarke Gayford and her daughter Neve, so I wonder how her self-isolation impacts them.
She got her booster on 17 January - 12 days later is today, 29th. You are immunized at 14 days - statement of a fact.
Also, again I will say: vaccines do not stop you getting infected. If anything, if Jacinda is infected with covid and if the people in the general population who find out/know she is infected and are vaccinated themselves and they believe they are safe, this is a great example close to home proving the vaccine, specifically Pfizer-BioNTech, is not the one and only solution. The one and only piece of knowledge you can takeaway from this piece of information can be the latter. And if Pfizer-BioNTech is the same as Oxford-AstraZeneca in terms of why the vaccine does not protect against infection, then you will not be surprised (go fucking inform yourselves if you are surprised).
If Ardern is infected and it impacts her badly, that will not be positive for her or the trust in the vaccine by the general population (which is a faulty belief in any case), or in general.
Fact: life does not stop
Fact: covid does not stop, it is 24/7
Possible fact: the only criteria to be infected with covid is to be a human being
