Covid 19 coronavirus: New Zealand Twitter users respond to Fox News comments

New Zealanders have taken to Twitter to respond to Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham after Ingraham’s segment claimed New Zealand had set up “quarantine camps” for its citizens.

Ingraham, a right-wing American television host, spread misinformation about New Zealand’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, shared an old clip of Jacinda Ardern and claimed that the government is “throwing people into quarantine camps.”

The Fox News anchor made the claims on her show yesterday, joining a growing number of right-wing experts abroad who are presenting New Zealand’s response as a threat to freedom.

“The American left and its media poodles have long held up New Zealand as the model for how to properly deal with many things, including Covid, but anyone who loves freedom should take note because kiwis have a terrifying new response to the growing Covid case numbers, “Ingraham said.

“They are throwing people into quarantine camps.”

“Don’t leave camp until it’s negative,” adds Ingraham, with a fake New Zealand accent.

However, New Zealanders have seen the funnier side of the comments, sharing their photos and photos on Twitter.

The #NZhellhole is even back.

In August, New Zealand faced criticism from opponents of the lockdown abroad who criticized the government’s Covid policies as too strict.

When an overseas Twitter account described New Zealand as “hell” due to the country’s current blocking rules, Kiwis on Twitter responded in the best way possible – by sharing photos of their day and describing what life is like in the “hell” of New Zealand. with a good dose of kiwi sarcasm.

“You can’t leave. And you can’t have people in easily. And you’re back locked up in large parts of the country. And quarantine camps are public knowledge. Your country is hell,” the @LockdownNo account responded to a New Zealander on Twitter

The response sparked a flood of #nzhellhole posts, showing the many ways Kiwis are managing to overcome the lockdown in the country.

One Twitter user’s comment even included a photo of a message that was posted at a meal during his time in managed isolation.
