A great party with lots of people laughing, all without masks. No, unfortunately we are no longer used to this type of image. Corona has us too under control. At the moment, nothing works for us without facial protection and social distancing.
The barbecue party took place in New Zealand, which celebrated the national holiday on February 6. The video was recorded by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (40), who also commented: “You can see a lot of people behind me.”
Ardern happily drives through the barbecue, chatting here and there with people, including Environment Minister James Shaw (47), who is behind a grill.
Crown under control
While almost everyone is in a more or less strict lockdown, New Zealanders celebrate as if there is no pandemic. In fact, Corona practically saved the island. In April 2020 alone the curves went up a bit with up to 90 new infections per day.
The country was able to avoid a second wave entirely. In total, New Zealand has only recorded 25 deaths per crown.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is at the forefront of this success. With a combination of determination and affection, he faced the pandemic, together with “Team New Zealand”, the five million people of the island nation.
Tough and loving
In addition to immediate closures when cases arise, the Prime Minister accompanied her people through the crisis through social media. He assured the children that the Easter Bunny was allowed in because ultimately it was of systemic importance. Those who had arrived immediately had to be in hotel quarantine for 14 days.
The fact that New Zealand is a remote and very sparsely populated island helped it in its successful containment strategy.
For her care, Ardern has already received a new name on Instagram: “Aunt Cindy.” And on Twitter, the Goodable portal, which distributed the video, praised the Prime Minister: “This is what leadership looks like.” (gf)
