New Zealand police arrest pair trying to enter Auckland with ‘large amount’ of KFC:

The men were arrested after allegedly trying to flee from police near the Auckland border. When their car was searched, police said they found a large quantity of KFC, as well as the cash and a number of empty ounce bags.

The arrest struck a chord with New Zealanders – especially Aucklanders, who have spent a month in a strict level four lockdown that does not allow restaurants to open or residents to order takeaway food.

[...] After the KFC arrest, a police spokesperson said “officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road, and upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off trying to evade police.

[...] A breach of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act can result in imprisonment for up to six months; or a fine of up to $4,000.

The men will appear in court for breaching the health order, and police said further charges were likely.

    The stats do lie, and so do you.

    What "a tiny fraction" means in shill math: the number of deaths in NZ is at least 90% of "what it would have been".
    Will be educational to look at you when inflation eats the same "tiny fraction" of your shill salary.

    The "would have been" as demonstrated by Sweden 2019 vs 2020:

    No lockdowns, portraited by media as Teh Baddest, 10% increase in 2020 (after the 4% decrease the year prior), 2021 so far seems to have returned to no-COVID average.

    You mentioned "shill salary". Where would one apply for one of these?

    I get it.

    Stats don't work on conspiracy nuts high in the personality trait of neurosis.

      Truly pathetic. The influencer marketing agency is wasting taxpayers money on you.
