💢Faults in the 'new' R.A.T.s testing system💢

Fiona from Henderson

So, round and round we go, where it stops, nobody knows.
And boy with this new testing system, ain't that the damn truth?

So, the public shouted long and hard for this system and now we’ve got it.

Yes the positives are instant results (sort of) and no more long queues to get tested or long(ish) waits for the results from the PCR testing – yippee!!

Sadly, the negatives are outnumbering the positives in this race.
🔸First. Who the heck can afford to keep on buying the test kits, especially if you are required to do it weekly or in this round of the virus, almost daily?
Why should we be paying for them with this economic disaster happening all around us?
The lower income families sure as heck can’t afford this and do they keep on going down to the testing station for free tests and if so, when will they be cut off?
How do they get to the testing station with the price of petrol now, in fact how can any of us afford to drive down there now?

🔸Second. It’s now out in Tik-Tok land on how to cheat the system using these tests, especially for those little darlings who want a few days off school

🔸Third. Who is going to monitor that the person who needs to be tested is actually taking the test? What’s to stop them from asking one of their ‘positive’ mates to do the test for them?

🔸Forth. Once you’ve done the test, you are required to record your results on the ‘My Covid Record Health’ site or via phone. Here’s where it’s become an honesty box scenario now, thus easy to cheat, lie or not even record the result.
All you need to do is click on ‘Report a Test Result” once you’ve logged in. Click who you are reporting the result for i.e. Myself or Someone else, add mobile number and then click positive or negative. THAT’S IT!!!
And these are just four faults. The list is longer.

So tell me how can that be monitored properly to avoid all these discrepancies?
How can they prove that you took the test?
How can we be sure that all of these thousands of positive results are in fact accurate?
Is someone selling their ‘negative’ nasal cavities for those wanting a negative result?

Do I trust this new testing system? NO!!!

When PCR testing was the option, I knew that the super hard working people in the labs and the testers themselves, were over worked and overwhelmed by the large numbers; but this new testing system has more faults than we could even begin to dream about.

I know the PCR system is an uncomfortable one, long queues etc… but I trust that test 100% more than these R.A.T.s.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
