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.

  Dengue also isn't a corona virus so Ah yourself. The Dengue vaccine is only authorized in the U.S. for people who have already had lab confirmed Dengue previously. That is exactly due to the issues your link talks about.

  You should not have touched THAT can of worms. Now that you have - welcome to the world of pain that is coronavirus vaccine failures.

  We lost two young cats to FIP, so I had quite compelling reason to research the theme to exhaustion.

  Human coronaviruses, no more tractable that FIP.

  Not a single working one before COVID, despite 3+ decades of attempts. Then COVID came, magic happened and the problem got solved in a month. Supposedly. You wish.
