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.

They probably would, if they could afford it. Because whether the only doc at your disposal is dancing around your bed with some rattles or whether you can't afford a real one, what is the difference?

Why even bother replying to such racist garbage? You think such hate filled people are just a few logical leaps from not being terrible?

When everyone in a country shares the same culture (and likely similar genetics), you can have reasonable expectations about the age, hygiene, medical literacy, etc. of new parents. When you have immigrants, 2nd gen., whacko cultists, etc. literally everywhere you can't make any assumptions, and you are going to have way more issues than a monocultural state. Then you factor in underage and unplanned births, abuse/incest, rape, and other things, you get a much livelier mix.

You know damn little about pregnancy don't you? Out of 9 long months, how often you think a woman should visit the fucking doctor if nothing is wrong? Doctors don't even wanna see you in the first trimester.
